[50mhz] T8 and V6 on 6m EME in August

[Lance Collister]

Hello Sixers!

I had been waiting until the T8 callsign was in hand, but I talked with the T8 
licensing people last week, and it sounds like things are getting pretty close now. 
And since the upcoming DXpedition is only 5 months away, I figured I better get the 
information out so folks can pencil it on their calendars!

So, if you still need T8 and/or V6 on 6m, I hope you will gear up for a contact with 
me in August.  The operating schedules, procedures and information on the locations 
are now updated and shown on my web page:

Please pay particular attention to the procedures I will be using and use the ON4KST 
EME CHAT page to coordinate your calling frequency so you are not calling on top of 
others.   I will be watching carefully for callers from 900 Hz above and 1000 Hz 
below my frequency, and will be manually trying to decode all traces every sequence.

If you haven't tried 6m EME, you may may be thinking there is no way you could work 
halfway around the world by sending your signals a half million miles.  I invite you 
to look on my website and review the results of my previous seven 6m EME DXpeditions 
and see some of the stations I have contacted.  There are a number of single yagi 
horizon-only stations in the logs.  There also are even contacts in the logs which 
were the first EME contacts for those stations!

The website will be updated as soon as the T8 callsign is received.

GL and DX!  VY 73, Lance
