[Andy - KU4XR]

Greetings all :

The Marconi Day event will begin at 9pm ADST, 8pm ESDT, 7pm CDST .
Static permitting, for anyone wishing to try to copy GB4FPR on
600 meters from the UK, here is Grahams latest post to me:

Andy,

Finally  have the  650 ft long  wire in place .. and the  gang 
has mended the  400 watt  tx so hopefully  will have it  tuned 
Friday afternoon .. bit of a cliff hanger  hihi

So no  time for  any  tests .. so far so good .. we may not  be 
on 502 .possible  closer to  501.200
but I will post the  frequency when ive  checked it  ...

As a back stop  I would think if any station recorded a trace on our 
frequency using  spac lab or  argo and reported that back on hf .. 
that would  ok for a contact .. as the established qrss  etc uses 
this method and  from what I have  seen in the past .. the  signals
are very short lived , ?

I will post the latest info to  you and the lf group as I get it

Tnx - G ..

Warm up those receivers everyone, tighten the filters, put on the cans,
aside from the software, this one will be an earshot try. I plan on 
having Audacity running in the back ground to catch anything I might
miss, then I can go back and listen for it agn. I hope someone has
good luck on Grahams signal on this side of the big pond.

73 for now:
