<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [450] 432 Operations</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV> I just picked up a used 19 element beam for 432 and my
new (to me) rig should arrive sometime next week. I still need to take down
the rotor and ship it back to hygain for another overhaul, hopefully they
figure it out this time. However, I do expect to have some 432 capabilities by
the end of next week.<BR><BR>Rich, I know you have some limited 432
capabilities and Bob, you have plenty. I'd like to see if I can get on with
anyone once it's up. It wont be any higher than my stuff is now unfortunately,
but I will have it above the 2 meter beam at least. On the bright side, when
the 706 is connected to the 2/440 vertical, i have absolutely no noise, so I'd
expect to at least work Rich over sideband at the very least.<BR><BR>-Dave<BR>
