As seen in QST - MOASU
The World Above 50 MHz column in the April 2008 edition of QST magazine features a description of the Mother of All Switching Units (MOASU). The ARRL.org link to the MOASU schematic cited in the column has been delayed and the information is being temporarily posted here on the K8GP website. Please follow this link Mother Of All Switching Units (MOASU) to reach the hosted page and subsequently download the schematic. Remember that the schematic is repetitive and only the connections to one of the transverters are shown in the schematic. The others are identical.
January VHF SS 2008
K8GP operated from the Eastern Shore of Maryland (FM18vr) this past ARRL January VHF SS contest. We operated the bands 50 MHz through 10 GHz. We hope to have some pictures posted soon. Our last attempt at a January expedition was back in 2002 to grid FM18gp. Check out our pictures from that event by clicking here.
September VHF 2007
The members of K8GP ventured to the top of Spruce Knob, WV this past Sept. 2007 ARRL VHF contest and would like to thank everyone who got on the VHF, UHF and microwave bands to contact us. We officially won the Multi-Unlimited category, clinching back to back wins (June & Sept) for both ARRL 2007 VHF contests. To see our Sept 2007 VHF gallery please click here.
