Re: [amsat-bb] FIELD DAY QRP Testing

[David Rush <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob:

This is on AO-40, I presume?  TX 435 MHz on the 847 and RX through 
downconverter to 736?

Is there some reason you use two rigs, when either one will normally 
work?  Because you got a good deal on a 432 downconverter (and otherwise 
couldn't tx and rx simultaneously).

Sounds like good success!
