UHF Contest Interference issue
_________________________

In the October UHF contest we have some noise interference problem with DF0MTL. Our correspondence to that problem was very productive and beside fixing of this problem could bring some informations for other contesters, who are not technicaly so experienced yet. And this is the reason, why it is published here.

Because many of active contesters are looking forward to use HF transceiver with transverter for VHF and UHF bands, I am sure, look at the noise performance of more HF transceivers will be interesting as well.

But at last - keep in your mind, that dynamic and noise equipment performance for the VHF/UHF contests are much more important, than at HF bands, because of much higher dynamic range request due much higher radiated power and weaker signals not so limited by on band noise floor. And so not each good HF transceiver is good enough for VHF/UHF use - only superior HF transceivers could be good enough for this use (in transverter operation).

More informations you can find here:

For the final I want say again "thank's a lot" to all of DF0MTL team for friendly, professional and cooperative solution of interference problem. If all stations on the band will have the same effort as DF0MTL has, I am sure, that any possible problems could have quick solution.
