HI Charles,
I have had one of these for about 7 years. Works great, but you should plan
on using at least a 3-4 element 6 mtr beam for an antenna and add a Mirage
150 watt final amplifier to the station. 10 watts will work ok on strong
sporadic e skip, but will be tough if conditions aren't just perfect. It
will also be hard to work locals on ground wave who are more than 20-30
miles away. I use my transverter with my OMNI 6+. Great combo.
Have fun and hope to see you on the "magic" band., I've been on 6 since 1963
and have WAS, WAC and am 1 country short of DXCC right now, just with
running a 4 element beam at 45 feet and 150 watts.
73,

Subject: [TenTec] Transverter
Does anyone have experience with the TenTec model 1208 20 meter to 6 meter
transverter? It might be a fun thing to play with during the up-coming
summer months. I plan to use it with my O2.
Thanks.....
Charlie, N2CJ
