Unfortunately, I was never able to confirm whether there were any responses to the posting. Do you have any leads?

LL Grace is out of business according to the WinTrak guy? Wow. Then who did we buy the KCT/T from last May? Stick with Instant Track!! (how many v1.0's do *you* know that work so well???)

In particular, the 10m downlink seems very practical at this point in the sun spot cycle. I have, then, a few questions for the experienced: 1. I'm thinking of homebrewing my transmitter. Is the uplink usually 21 MHz, 144 MHz or evenly split between them? 2. What sort of power is practical for casual use of these birds? I have heard of qsos with 2w in a dipole; is that remarkable or par for the course? 3. Has anyone any experience using mobile whips (argh) as antennae for this application?
