These used 2C39 cavity oscillators,delivering about 12 watts output. Tuned-cavitycrj-stal mixers with 144-Mc output worked intoGonset Communicators as tunable Dupli-cate corner-reflector arrays were used for trans-mission and reception. The rigs were used byWlJRV/1 at Mead Pond, just over the line inConnecticut, W3UQB/2 at Balanced Rock,Nyack, N. Y., K2DFS, at his home in Bergen-field, N. J., and K2CMI/2 and W2FSN/2 inManhattan high spots, to give K2CMB five con-tacts in four ARRL sections on 1215 Mc. Around San Francisco there was enough doing January 1955 57 on 144 Mc. so that W6TDP made 56 contactswith 5 watts input to a 5763 doubler (rig builtfrom W2IHWs description in February, 1954,QST), and a cut-dowTi TV Yagi hung in hisbasement!
