Further to my email a week ago, I have now updated my website and planned operating 
schedules for BOTH FO/A (as FO/W7GJ) next October and FO/M (as TX7MB) next November. 
All the airline tickets have now been purchased, the licenses received and the 
lodgings confirmed. Direct links to both these updated websites are here:

http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/Marquesas%202020.htm

Degradation during the solo FO/A operation is slightly higher than optimum, but 
previous trips have demonstrated that those days should still be productive. In 
addition, the negative horizon in FO/A should provide good common moon windows just 
about everywhere, and some very low ground gain lobes when the moon is at or just 
below the horizon. I hope to be able to be QRV for 8 full moon passes. If I can stay 
awake during the late afternoons, I hope to be QRV for TEP in the event there is any 
such propagation that early in the year. The QTH in the Austral Islands looks like it 
may be situated favorably for TEP.

The operation from FO/M includes the best days of the month for EME, and I hope to be 
QRV for at least 9 full moon passes. KB7Q will also be joining me for the operation 
from the Marquesas. He will be operating on 2m EME and possibly 432/1296 if there is 
enough interest. Please direct any inquiries regarding those operations to KB7Q or 
check out his web page here:

I look forward to contacting you from each DXCC on 6m! If you are a horizon-only 
station in Region 2, we have many windows during your moonsets. Please just 
concentrate on calling when my moon is below 65 degrees elevation (shown on my 
Proposed Operating Schedules). Thanks for your interest and support!

GL and VY 73, Lance
