Hello
Due to required interest against KP03-square I annonce the plans going to
the specific square.
OH6AW will make an IOTA dxpedition to Bj�rk�by EU-101 on June 8th - June
12th. The island we are going to is in KP03 square, the exact locator will
be determined during dxpedition from GPS receiver. As the main target of
this dxpedition is in giving out the IOTA island the meteor-scatter
operation will be made in the side. However I will try to maximaze the
operation on the early hours of the morning when the sporadics are the best.
Operation will be random-like but skeds can be arranged on site at VHF-net
14.345MHz and by my mobile phone +358 40 528 3059. The used frequency will
be 144.162 MHz. The used callsign is OH6AW and we will call the 1st sequence
on the 2.5 min periods. The speed is up to you, you can call on whetever
speed you like but I prefer higher speeds e.g. 4000 lpm and more. The CQ's
will be made with 2500-3000 lpm speeds as everyone should be able to do
that. The equipment used will be as follows FT847, 600 watts, MGF1402
preamp, 15 element DL6WU yagi and MSDSP software to slow down your signals.
We will also take 6 m gear with us but due to restrictions we are only able
to be on air when the TV-transmitter in V�nn�s, Sweden, will not be sending
any live programs through TV channel E2. That means we have only few hours
during night times and we are very sorry about the very restricted permit on
6 meters.
Also the 70 cm gear will be taken with us and we will operate the 70 cm NAC
contest on June 11th. Also some other casual operation is available on 70
centimeters.
