[Elecraft] Off Topic - 2009 Kyrgyzstan 50 MHz DXpedition from Grid Locator MN82re starts SUNDAY!!

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Just a final reminder to any K3 owner with a 6m yagi and an amplifier - some REAL 
MAGIC is just about to begin ;-)  The EX7MW/EX8MLT 6m DXpedition starts with their 
moonrise on Sunday!  That corresponds to moonset in the USA and is around the middle 
of the day.  They should be able to complete a JT65A mode contact with anyone having 
good ground gain and a 5 element yagi and 500w.

CNDX for 6m EME next week look excellent, and they steadily improve as the week 
progresses.  Mike and Oleg have specially selected a quiet location with excellent 
ground gain over the large lake Issyk-Kul. They will be elevating their antenna when 
the moon is higher than 20 degrees, so they can continue to operate during your 
moonrise or moonset.  Don't miss out on this great opportunity to contact a rare DXCC 
on 6m!

The K3 makes it simple to operate digital modes!  If you still have not tried JT65A 
mode yet, there are tips on how to use it for EME on my website:

Remember that they will always transmit in the first sequence, so you always leave 
the TX FIRST box on your JT65A screen UNchecked.  Watch for more updates and info at:

If you copy them please call them!!  Just remember to spread out with 200Hz between 
callers!  Good luck and DX to all on the Magic Band!  VY 73, Lance
