Hi Trevor...

I will dig those out today; When would you be able to connect to hand things off?

Subject: [mvus-list] new toy for hamvention

After a few busy months at work I finally had time to work on my HAM LoRA
project and I've got some software that seems to be working well enough.
I've had the two radios directly connected so I need to get some real
testing done but if all goes well I could leave them at the MVUS table at
hamvention for people to play around with.

Tom, I believe you said you had a couple of 33cm antennas floating around
that I could borrow for a bit? If so I could grab them when I get my badge
and do a bit of testing.

For those not aware, I've been playing with some of the shelf LoRA
transceivers and have written some software to allow them to act as beacons
or go through an FT8 like QSO sequence. The idea is to see how far I can
QSO at max LoRA power and then build some amplifiers to see how far I can
get at HAM power levels. These are RFM95 devices that put out about 100mW
in the 915MHz ISM band. (it's tunable a few MHz up and down)

Hi Trevor...

Thursday is OK, but I'll need to ,eave here by 6:30 to get over to TNG, but you could meet me there after 7 if that works.

Friday evening I'll be at my brother's 80th birthday party but could leave stuff out if necessary.

You wanted Yagi's, not verticals for 900 MHz, right?

Let's just meet at TNG...it's not far from me..I'll meet you there
about 7:00 or a bit after. And yest on the yagi's...going for distance
on these
