[AK-VHF] SKEDS for Saturday 50.265 ISCAT/hsms

[Paul Kiesel]

Be aware that earlier versions of WSJT had only one version of ISCAT. The newest versions have both ISCAT-A and ISCAT-B. ISCAT-B is the same as the original ISCAT and is the version most often chosen for meteor scatter.

Paul, K7CW

Eric,

Only one observation.  At the beginning of the contest (1800utc -10am AKDST) most of us will be actively chasing contacts on VHF-SSB and FM.  I think interest in trying digital modes may exist after the initial "rush" of the start of the contest.  It is likely that 6m will not open for DX in this contest, but if it does then all other modes (and bands) take back seat.

I am interested in trying some ms with stations during the contest and may also work some 2m-eme.  I am working on finishing my 1296 system today, and if wx holds I will try setting up my 6m 6-element yagi temporarily on a tripod supported ten foot mast.  Time is short with wx a hassle.

432 and 927.5 are both a little "iffy".  I have a Rx problem in the 432 transverter and need to lower the 2m 3eme array to install relays and jumper cables to install 927.5.  This is really two full days of "good wx" work.  I will not lower the eme array if there is threaten of winds as I could end up stuck with it lowered on Saturday.
