Out in my garage I have a chassis I made in high school (1965) for building a 220 megacycle transmitter out of my 1952 Handbook, but it was never completed. There was not much activity on the band even then. I have thought about building up a transverter for it now, but probably won't since the VHF bands tend to be dead unless there is a contest on, DX spots show up on the Internet, or the Hepburn forecast looks really good. Even the much more popular 2 meter band is largely just white noise most of the time. The hobby is only fun when you can make some contacts. 73, Steve WA9JML _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |
