6 meter tune up
Tom WA7TBP
Hello everyone:
I am sorry I haven't got the summary of the 6 meter tune up out yet. I am in my RV until next Wednesday, and I failed to bring my logbook from home. I will get the summary out as soon as I can after we get back.
Sorry about that. A thumbnail sketch of the exercise was that most stations were able to hear one another. If I remember right, I was not able to hear 3 stations of all those that checked in. I feel that 6 meters offers SNOVARC some great value for public service, rag chews and EMCOMM. When I was a two way radio tech, I worked in the Snoqualmie Valley. Weyerhauser was our biggest customer. I was amazed at the coverage with the 49 MHz simplex base station they had throughout King, Snohomish and Pierce County. Maybe we should have another 6 meter tune up in the future.
Again, sorry I forgot my logbook. I will do my best to get the summary out as soon as I get home. Thanks to all of you that participated in the test.
73,
Tom, WA7TBP

Thanks, Tom. I have to say, going into the exercise I figured my antenna, which is horizontally polarized and frankly pretty awful for 6m, would mean that I would have very poor performance on 6m, both SSB and FM. To my great surprise, I found my station performed surprisingly well. Good news!

It was my first-ever 6m FM experience and the sound quality was fantastic. I am a new 6m FM enthusiast. Robin, WA7CPA

I just got my Hf fired up. Missed the 6m tune up the other night. Is there any one willing to try a test qso with me this weekend?

Thanks Paul (W7PFB) for testing 6M SSB and FM with me this weekend.
I'm looking for others in various QTH's to continue testing with. Let me know if interested. 73 -- ************************* Howard E. Mahran WA1HEM (425) 864 - 5104 *************************
