Tim was making a lot of noise about going to 12 meters.....I'm glad to see something came of it...I would like to try it myself....I have a transmitter that will go to 24985....Is Tim Xtal controlled?
We started on 29 Mhz, and conditions at that time were poor. So on his suggestion we went to 12M to 24.985. The signals were much better both ways. Tim was using the Hex beam, and I had the 80m OCF Inv-V. Tim was using the Johnson VFO in the 11m position where he padded it down to cover 12M, multiplying 4X. He held pretty steady until his last transmission where he dropped about 3 Khz...Good thing it didn't go UP since the band edge is on 24990.
