903 Mhz

[Rick Beatty]

Hi to the group -- I guess you would call this a pitch to encourage the use of 903Mhz. There are transverters available from several sources and the antennas, albeit can be purchased, are pretty easy to construct. It's a fun band too, has some of the characteristics of 432 and 1296, but does propagate a bit better than 23cm.

I recently had the opportunity to increase the power output of my station, and I have gone from 40 watts output to 110 watts, plus. Mike, K7MDL, and I did some testing this evening and we made contact pretty handlie. Conditions are not the best right now with all the wet weather but it still works pretty well on CW.

Anyway, I would like to encourage youtube consider 903Mhz, it's a fun band.
