[FLWSS] wj9b qrv 3456mhz

Hi Steve!


I recall that...I was running 1 watt and I found out recently that my 3456 looper had a return loss of 10 db!

...antenna is properly tuned and running 24 watts now.  I hope to work you in the next contest!

Wait, I object!  You were totally QRV when I 
worked you last June in the contest .... of course I did have to drive within 
about 2mi of your QTH, but who's counting?

Hi All,

I wasn't totally 
qrv on 3456 until last night. I have confirmed ssb qsos with Joe, ki4npv and 
this morning with Chuck, k0vxm.  Both were peaking s-6 here and I was solid 
at the other end; signals both ways were better than on 2304.

My 3456 
looper had a return loss of 10 db, which corresponds to an swr of 1.9.1. Joe 
tuned it up for me to show a return loss between 25-29 db.  This made a 
huge difference on receive!  But I had another problem on TX! 

Here 
is my advice to newcomers:  go ahead and make silly errors on these bands 
like I have!  Don't care who laughs!  

qrv 2304/3456mhz.
