Nice to know, Ed. I've been toying with the idea of getting on 222 MHz for the contests, but there is so little activity in this area (Los Angeles/Orange County) that I'm trying to justify the expense of the transverter and antenna.

I have a FT-847 that is virtually new, to get on 432 MHz. I don't know how popular 902 MHz is here, but there seems to be more 1296 activity, including a couple of nets.

It's crazy - 14 million people in the area and so little happening on 222. Lately, from what I've heard, it's mostly FM simplex in the contests.

Allow me a little self-promoting: I build Downeast Microwave (DEMI) transverter kits for those who do not wish to do it themselves. I charge the same total price as DEMI does for assembled units. So far I have limited this to the 50 thru 432 MHz units, but might extend this up to 1296 units.

Steve is an old friend and I am an old customer (starting in 1996), but I can deliver an assembled kit faster than Steve can fill orders for assembled units. I call this service "Kits made by KL7UW":
