QSP de AI6V:

It is our sad duty to report the passing of Johan (Joop) Bok at
approximately 17:00 GMT today, Thursday, January 19, 2012.

He had a severely infected kidney.  When the doctors tried to remove it,
they found the area surrounding it full of infection, so they could not
remove the kidney.

His wife, Yvonne, and daughter, Barbara, Sue, myself and Lisandro, P43L,
were with him when he passed away.

He was a hell of a guy and will be sorely missed.

Services are pending.

Please include this announcement in all of the appropriate reflectors.

73  Carl  AI6V/P49V

  Hey Group,

  Wanted to share some information on my new 2 meter amplifier. As seen in the email below, I was first turned onto this new LDMOS amplifier this summer after Dave/W6OAL's email. I was very familiar with Jim/W6PQL's design and builds and new he does an outstanding job. All I can say is this 2 meter amplifier he custom built for me is a Beauty and does over 1000 watts with ease.

  Check out pictures and information here (still working on 50vdc Power Supply documentation): http://users.wbsnet.org/n0yk/kilowatt.htm

  If anyone has any questions, just let me know.

  Thanks,
  Chad

Hello Magic Banders!

I am passing along this information because these filters are very effective, as shown by the plots Ron provided below. I use them here at my house and am ordering some more to help protect my neighbors.  It seems now that some are using the "converter boxes" so they can receive digital TV, I have some TVI again here for the first time in many years.   If you are looking for a good way to keep 6m from overloading TV converter boxes, preamplifiers or FM receivers in your home or nearby houses, these are a great solution!  Many thanks to Ron for taking the initiative to have a batch manufactured again for us to help keep us on good terms in the neighborhood!  If you are interested in getting in on this run, please contact Ron directly at:

These are very good for putting ahead of your own TVs.   They not 
only keep your family happy when you are operating , but they're very 
effective in showing your neighbors that you don't cause any TVI to 
your own sets.  I've been using them for years.

Chuck,  W7CS

Update: I ordered 75 of these last week.
After word got out to the EME community, nearly all were spoken for overnight!
I had no idea there would be so much demand. I should have ordered a
few hundred. I'm looking at early March on delivery, these are being
custom made.
There will be a Paypal/cc e-commerce page for ordering. I will notify
everyone who responded first to have first dibs. I prefer Paypal
payment. Also the final price may be a few dollars less than thought!
I was told they're giving me the same price as if I had bought 100+
which is OK by me! I'll likely do a second group purchase in April.
I'll try to add a 432.1 MHz filter at that time.
-73, Ron WZ1V

Note: I guess I should have emphasized these are Receive filters!
To be installed at the affected neighbor's CATV or OTA installation.
For CATV TVI, you'd usually place these inline with the demarc
splitter or distribution amp input, For OTA HDTV, at the TV RF input
conn, or preamp input.
I need more interested parties to get the quantity price of $15 (and
by the way that price includes shipping), so I'll wait another day or
2 before giving up. I need to minimum order 25 of each frequency. So
if you're interested, now's the time to let me know. Even if you've
never had a complaint, having a few of these on hand is like cheap
insurance (just in case):

Hi: I received my first TVI complaints a few weeks ago after nearly a

Hi Zkenek,

I am very sorry, but since I am not on 432 myself, I really have no idea what kind of 
activity might be possible on 432 from Wyoming.  I am forwarding your request on the 
Rocky Mountain VHF Group....perhaps somebody there might have some information for you.

Sometimes, there are portable stations who set up during VHF Contests, and you might 
want to look at the previous results from such contests to get some possible station 
callsigns.  The next VHF contest over here is in June.

I think WA7KYM has some power on 432 from WY. He used to do EME on CW on 
144 but don't know if he ever did 432. This was long before WSJT. I 
understand he is now retired so may have time for stuff like this now.

Message-ID: <4F3A9C5C.3020509@q.com>

My 6M-1000 amplifier is now surplus to my needs. I am willing to part with it for 
$1700 (delivered in the continental USA).  Save hundreds of dollars compared to new 
retail price!

Details on the amp are here:

http://www.m2inc.com/pdf_manuals/6M-1000.pdf

This is the PROVEN AMPLIFIER that I used successfully on 6m EME from 3D2LR and 5W0GJ. 
  At only 12 pounds, it is great for portable operation.  Photo of the amp in service 
at 5W0 last fall is here:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=232927596755291&set=a.232925890088795.54498.100001141574142&type=3&l=00a25144ad

Just add a 48 or 50 VDC power supply (which can be found under $50 on EBAY - if you 
need help finding one, just contact me).

GL and DX on the Magic Band!  VY 73, Lance

Message-ID: <mailman.1.1329242839.5715.rmvhf@rmvhf.org>

Hello all,

I have a contest tested Elecraft XV222 25W transverter for sale. The 
kit sells new for $399 unbuilt. I have also added the Crystal Oven to 
the unit, an $50 add on which keeps the frequency stable after 
power-on. I've used this transverter to make SSB and FM contacts 
during contest since the January 2009 contest and I get unsolicited 
"great audio on this band" comments when using it. The IF interface 
can be configured to accept IF power from .01 milli Watts to 8 watts 
using jumpers and needs to be driven with a 10M IF rig. I have all 
the printed manuals, original box & Elecraft paperwork. I'd still be 
using this unit, but I upgraded to more powerful DEMI transverter.

See here for more details on the features:
http://www.elecraft.com/XV/XV.htm
and the manual here:
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/XV_Transverter_Owner%27s_Manual_Rev_E.pdf

I'm asking $350 OBO. I'd rather deliver local, but if you need it 
shipped I can accept paypal and ship for $10. I'd really like to see 
it stay in the local VHF community.

Thanks,

Eric - kr0ver

Message-ID: <4F3E8B51.20309@q.com>

VE7BQH has been hard at work adding new 2m and 6m antennas to his now famous "apples 
to apples" antenna comparison tables.  The current 2m table is Version 86, and the 
updated 6m table is Version 18. Both text file and EXCEL spreadsheet (which contains 
tabs for selecting either 2m or 6m worksheets) versions can be accessed on my website 
here:

Thanks again Lionel!  GL and DX!  VY 73, Lance

Message-ID: <CA+2fSqUe6CkEZvvVednvmpOzXaCYh9+o-0qO+e_ZbhtQCD03Ew@mail.gmail.com>

I am hearing the beacon drifting all the way up to 50.072.1

Something is very goofy.....

and wrong with the TX freq.

Solar activity has the Solar Flux up to 111 A16 and K3 on Monday evening, 7:50pm.
Hearing the XE2O/b in EL05 sigs 5 watts about 579 here in Parker, DM79.
DX Summit website says that a couple of pacific stations have worked into W4 land about 02:18. 

Wouldn't hurt to keep an ear on 6m for openings.

et al,

Sorry the Colorado 6M beacon is drifting around a bit.  Apparently we 
lost a crystal heater. I'll replace the L.O. Wednesday when I  can get 
through the snow drifts on my two dirt roads to get to the two lane.  Sorry 
for 
any inconvenience -"stuff happens"!

Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.02.1202210809410.20021@furyy.pbasvt.pbz>

Hi folks!

We have a 'new' VHF op in S.E. Colo.  Wayne Hudson, K5ZG contacted me
through my web site.  He moved to Lamar last year -- pretty much astride
the DM87/DM88 grid borders.

I pointed him to the RMVHF+ web site -- told him of the Monday Night Net
and the RMVHF+ Email Reflector.

Pretty soon now he should show up here and introduce himself.


p.s. I've worked all out-of-the-country travel plans this year to leave
open my full ROVER participation in the 3 Summer VHF contests.  (Tho',
some schedules don't leave much time for log submission. HI!HI!)

Message-ID: <CAFyNi85kYT8KAKaafh=egyhmitsVPmZ+4SmRdAehjnNCZzS0fQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Folks,

I'm reporting that there is a 13 cm beacon on the air from Sandia Crest
near Albuquerque, NM.

The following is information provided:

Ident -- NM5ML DM65sf
Frequency  -- 2304.315 Mhz
Mode -- FSK
Power  --  0.8 watt
Antenna -- Wire big wheel omnidirectional
Location -- Sandia Crest, 10,600 ft ASL  DM65sf

This beacon originally provided by WB0WDF was previously on the air but has
been off for a several months. Restoration was accomplished by K5RHR,
WA5IHL and myself.

73,  Bill
