16 November 2023 - Q5 902 transverter arrived and I hooked it up - not seeing the issue I saw with the SG Labs transverter which was sent back for repair.
13 November 2023 - Paid Q5 invoice for new transverter today - Corey said it should ship to me in the next day or two. Looks like it shipped - current ETA is Wednesday.
30 October 2023 - Ordered a new Q5 902 25W transverter - I will be sending the SG Labs 902 back to Bulgaria for repair. Once the SG Labs unit returns from repair the Q5 transverter will become my rover.
28 July 2023 - Tried to work Vic WB4SLM in EM85DA (Hayesville) - he reported I was 5x5 but I could not hear him - I need to get rid of these Comet Window Jumpers - they have way too much loss at anything above 400MHz and they can't handle much power.
18 March 2023 - The Q5 60W amp arrived while I was away and I hooked it up today.
12 March 2023 - Paid the invoice for the Q5 amp and it should ship this week.
13 February 2023 - Ordered a 60W Q5 amplifier. The 902 antenna is on the tower.
19 November 2022 - Made my first contact on 902 with WB4SLM who was at his home East of Hayesville, NC - he was running 60w and I was running 3w. He reported pulsing noise on the band but was able to copy me just above the noise.
15 November 2022 - Last week I received the SG Labs 902 Transverter I ordered in September - more to come on this. It is not connected to an external antenna currently but will be once my tower is up. I have a M2 17-element antenna that I will use with it.
