[FLWSS] Sept. VHF Contest Summary de K4HV

[Samuel Strongin]

Hi Guy's Take a look down here el96an down in cape coral Fl, 1200 watts on 
2,400 on 222, 50 on 432, 200 on 902,150 on 1296 and 200 on 2304, 3456 is 
waiting for the antenna to be put up Hi, I drive all my amps directly from 
the transverter. A SMA connector can handle 300++ watts on 2304. The small 
dow key relays with sma connectors are rated by dow key at 180 watts cw 
(constant carrier) @2304. I have no problem at 200 watts. I allways seem to 
work Chuck with no problem however last Saturday am conditions sucked. I was 
happy to help out Ron w4wa get on 2304 with some power. I have one extra 200 
watt amp ready to convert for plug and play with 20 mw type transverter 
output typicall y less than 8 mw. I also have a few lower power amps to set 
up depending on drive or needs. I also have one high power 6 meter amp left 
for sale an 8877 table top 1500watts ++. My test equiptment goes to 18Ghz 
lots fun.
