Station Description:September 10, 2005:
I have mounted two 45-element Loop Yagis inside my 2m EME array. They are
stacked vertically using 1/2-inch Heliax and a Directive Systems 2-way divider. A DEMI (Downeast
Microwave) preamp is mounted with a CN-520 coax relay in a plastic food container on the elevation
boom. The 7/8-inch feedline for 2m EME is shared with 1296 for transmit by use of a CN-600NL
relay. LMR-400 coax was run from the 1296 MHz preamp to the DEMI transverter. The transverter
drives a DEMI 2318 PA which drives a KJ6KO 60 watt Amplifier. Here are some recent photos:
Local Activity:
At present there is no activity in Alaska above 2 meters on SSB/CW. There are a few stations
that have 1296-MHz capability in the Anchorage area, so that there is potential for weak-signal
activity. It is my belief that my station at 98-km from Anchorage may provide a challenge and
incentive. I would like to see an activity net for 432 and 1296-MHz SSB be established here.
This could become a spring-board to generating interest in the microwave bands in Alaska.
Note: KL7FZ, KL7AR, KL6M, and KL7XJ all have indicated they have 1296 and interested.
Under Construction...check back!
