VHF Station

Spearheaded by Kim, KB1DFB, we have entered many VHF contests and in January of 2009 KB1DFB was #1 USA Multi/Limited in the ARRL January VHF Contest.

Using a FT-1000MP to drive DEMI transverters, we are QRV on 144, 222, and 432. There is a new K3 waiting to be put in line soon.

On 6M, we use the FT-1000 MP Mark V with the FTV-1000 6M Yaesu transverter.

 All these transverters drive what we call the “Tower of Power”.A homebrewed four-in-one rack of amplifiers. All capable of running full legal limit. Sharing a common power supply limits the maximum power available all at one time but plans are being made for a new power supply for 6M is almost finished
