I just heard from them, and they said they are going to stay in FN67 for the rest of their stay. However, they are VERY close to the FN57 line, so they were toying with the idea of moving the vehicle with the station over to the FN57 and leaving the antenna in FN67 so they could be providing both grids at the same time. They will be starting to operate terrestrial (probably FSK441 for meteor scatter) on 50.160 around 1700Z today. Then they will be on JT65A mode on 50.190 again at their moonrise and may stay on until the west coast moonrise if there are 6m EME stations out there who still need FN67 on 6m. If you are on the West Coast and need them to stay QRV for your moonrise, please corner them on the ON4KST EME CHAT page tonight after their moonrise and tell them of your interest. Otherwise, they will shut down around 0300Z to get some sleep for the big day tomorrow. Tuesday morning, they plan to operate FSK441 meteor scatter from around 7 to 9 am Eastern Time. So if you are in the eastern half of the country and still need FN67 and/or FN57, please watch for them then on meteors. After 1300z September 29 (KB3SII's birthday!), they have to tear down and travel home. Please spread the word to anyone you think is interested in working them up there in between potato fields!
