[50mhz] Test run with 3Y0Z stations on September 9

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Hello Moon-men!

The team preparing the EME stations for the big 3Y0Z DX-pedition to Bouvet Island early 2018 will be QRV for a test from Atlanta on Sept. 9 and 10.  They are testing the complete 2 mtr. and 6 mtr. stations for a final test before all equipment will be packed into the containers for transport to South America !

I am leaving September 8 to VK9 for my 6m EME DXpedition, so I will not be here at home in Montana to help test out the 3Y0Z EME stations.  If you are interested in working this rare DXCC - or seeing if you CAN work them - please PLEASE get on the air this weekend and help them test their stations!

The call sign and exact grid (possibly EM73..)  is unknown yet, but they will at least be on N0UK logger for 2m and possibly the ON4KST EME CHAT page for 6m.  You can get the details there ;-)

144 MHz station:  2 x 22el. X-pol. M2 antennas and good power.
50  MHz station:  6M8GJ  8el. M2 antenna and good power

They expect to be QRV at moonrise on Sept. 9  at 02:00  UTC. Moonset is about 14:00  UTC.  Some activity also on Sept. 10 from moonrise at 03:00 UTC.
