Years ago I built a 222 transverter designed by W1VT (a no-tune transverter
that uses hairpin filters). I've been using that for a long time, but I
have no antenna at home on that band. My operating has been limited to
hilltops. Right now I'm working on building the W1GHZ 222 transverter. I
think it may be better than the one I have.
