<H1>EA8 worked on 432Mhz</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>During a good tropo opening, <STRONG>Robbie,
EI2IP</STRONG>, worked several EA8 stations on 144Mhz using only 50w and a
10-element DX7ZB.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>But, says Robbie, I also worked <STRONG>EA8AVI</STRONG> on
<STRONG>432,200MHz</STRONG>, on both CW and SSB.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Robbie's setup for 432MHz is a FT-847, 50w and 19-element
Tonna at 10 metres high and 100 metres ASL. He is 2.5km from the Atlantic
Coast.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Peter, EA8AVI</STRONG>, who is in <SPAN
class=paraln>Gran Canaria</SPAN>, was only using 20 watts. It's maybe a EI Tropo
record on 432Mhz of approx 2,740Km..</FONT></P>
