[50mhz] "Mother of All 6m Grid DXpeditions" starts this week!

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

Starting Thursday 26 May, David Schaubert, NJ0W, will begin a 46-day 6m Grid DXpedition covering 90 different grid squares in the Rocky Mountains, Southwest Deserts, and Great Plains. Over 400 hours of operating time have been planned. Within his scheduled hours of operation, David will operate WSJT modes (mostly FSK441 meteor scatter) when there is no sporadic-E happening at his location, and SSB/CW when there is. 

See David’s web page at http://www.6t6kix.com/pages/ham/nj0w.htm for complete details, as well as for unanticipated updates to the schedule due to the always-entertaining antics of the ubiquitous Mr. Murphy.

Time is a critical commodity for WSJT meteor-scatter operation because the technology is speed-limited by its inherent design. Therefore, please READ AND RE-READ David’s published WSJT operating procedures on the above page. DON’T WASTE EVERYBODY’S TIME by not knowing what you’re doing!! If you have questions, ask them now on the FFMA or WSJTGROUP list. If you’re not an FFMA or WSJTGROUP subscriber, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FFMA or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WSJTgroup and sign up. Don’t cross-post replies or questions to all five boards listed in the TO header, as this will generate list traffic that will be unappreciated by many.

Wishing David and all of us the best of luck!
