Dave, I don't think conditions on 432 were very good and I wouldn't be surprised if they were even worse on 1296. I don't have 1296 up at the moment, but I'd say a gross generalization would be that if you work someone on 432 then their 1296 should be about 1-2 S units worse. If you worked K9EA easily on 432 then you should be able to work him on 1296.

(snip)
I put in a lot of work in the previous
weeks to get my 1296 station together (30W DEMI transverter, 45L looper
up 65', LDF-5 feedline). I made unsuccessful attempts to work K9EA in
EN71 and VE3ZV in EN92, both of whom I worked on the other lower bands.
Being new to the band, would someone with 1296 experience share their
opinion as to what should be workable with a station like mine?
I hope others in the club had fun this weekend.
73, Dave/K8CC
