All,


Our scheduled AUXCOMM meeting is next Tuesday, May 15, 7:30pm at the Calvert Services Building.


If the AUXCOMM members would prefer, rather than having a face-to-face meeting on the 15th, we could continue our "alternatives to 2 meters" experiment by trying NVIS communications on 40 or 80 meters.  


I'm not sure who currently has 40 or 80 SSB capabilities so please respond with your desired (net vs meeting) by Monday evening.   I'll go with the majority response and send out an email on the final plans.  


It may be challenging to find a clear frequency on 40 or 80 but it's worth a try.   If we decide to try 80 or 40, we may use the CARA 2M repeater for frequency coordination.


Use whatever 80 or 40 M antenna you currently have up.   No need to toss up a NVIS unless you want to.


I'll have the summary results of our recent 10M and 6M simplex experiments prior to the meeting and will email to the participants.  I apologize for not getting it out sooner.

I have both bands and will be wherever you need. Practice seems more useful that face to face at this point to me.

I can have a 40 meter dipole up on Tuesday.  Then I'll be travelling. 


 Look on aprs.fi for KB3RAN-9  RV for tracking my travels (if it behaves.)  I set it up today and it's beaconing now.

Message-ID: <1303569140.971993.1526317736530@connect.xfinity.com>

All,


The feedback so far is 100% for skipping the face-to-face meeting this month and trying 40M/80M HF simplex instead.


So tomorrow evening, May 15th, we will meet on the CARA 146.985 repeater at 7:30pm.  We'll use the repeater to coordinate HF frequencies.   I'll call the net on the repeater at 7:30 and once we have everyone checked in, I'll try to find a clear spot, starting with 40 meter SSB.   After the 40M experiment, we'll move to 80 meter (or 75 meter) SSB and see how that works.   The 2M repeater will be used throughout for coordination.


I've completed the summary of our 10M simplex experiment on April 26.   The results will be posted on the AUXCOMM web site (you will have to log on to see it).   Participants on the 10M test will get the summary directly in a separate email.
