Was largely unsuccessful. I was using the homebrew 1.2Ghz 10 element yagi I built for TX. It was a 30 degree pass, so I think I need to try a pass with more elevation next time. I had one station that called me back but he got stomped on before I could get his call. I heard a station in there on the 2m uplink that said he was using 500mw with a telescoping whip. It seems doing this on 1.2Ghz is a little more challenging than on 2 meters...:thumbup1:

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
