From: "Rod N0RC" To: "Low Power Amateur Radio Discussion" Subject: Rock-Mite & NorCal BLT roadtest Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 11:17 PM Folks, Tonight I lashed up the NorCal BLT to my Rock-Mite and start calling CQ. In less than 5min I was chatting with KN9X in Osage MO, 579 both ways, approx. 700 mi from here, that's ~1400 mi/watt, not bad gas mileage! (Don't forget I'm using an attic dipole) Old timers won't be surprised by this, but the newbies who are still scratching their head over what we do might find it interesting. Rock-Mite $25, BLT $29, Fun building and operating them--PRICELESS.
