Since North America can transmit between 2300 and 2310 MHz, you will always
find me calling you on your frequency below 2302 MHz and I believe WW2R has
and will continue to do the same thing. 

Yes 13 and 9 cm last weekend was a blast.

Hello all,

                another very entertaining weekend has gone and I had a ball!

The turnout seemed very good and signals were excellent with bad Wx staying
away at my QTH. 

 

1 thing that was highlighted to me was the difficulty in X-band QSOs on
13cm.  I think a lot was due to my errors. I am very sorry to the stations
that CWNR from me.  I made the error in announcing that I would listen on
2304.1  and 2320.1.   A couple of operators have explained a much more
appropriate method and I would appreciate the collective wisdom on this.

 

In the future when calling on 2301.9**  I will listen on 2304.0**  and
2320.0**  and 2424.0** +/-  the appropriate doppler.  (of course  QRGs would
be announced for SKEDS)

 

IS THIS THE BEST WAY TO OPERATE around the X band solution?  Please
gentlemen ( and ladies) your input......

 

My list of stations for the WE:

 

12th on 13cm   WKD--- W5LUA WA6PY VE6TA VK4AFL  JA4BLC JA8ERE OK1KIR  OK1CA
ES5PC G3LTF  SD3F#

CWNR- OZ4MM F2TU 

 

13th  on 9cm   WKD -- W5LUA  OK1CA  DL4MEA#  G3LTF

 

I know there were many others that called.....

 

Overall I am pleased with the performance of the station,  I just need to
get better at the random X-band scenario!

 

I am looking forward to the AW in June on 9cm.  I should be QRV  and hope to
work a few stations.

 

If anyone would like a sked on any band (13cm - 3cm)  please drop me an
email.
