[TMRA] Fwd: SP9/KV8P or TBD: June 6th (eve Eastern)

[Robert Hall]

Clarification on my Poland operating for those interested in a sched/card.


Apparently the Krakow club station is rather low key operating in the
historic district of downtown Krakow, so antennas and power are limited
there.  They only have a trapped dipole up currently.  I am looking forward
to making some new international ham friendships there, however.  :)

Therefore, I plan to operate on *Monday, June 5th* in the late morning
there (*likely between 4-6pm here in Ohio*) in order to maximize
propagation to the states *from the contest station/home of Andy SP9KR*
there about 50 min drive west of Krakow.   (Andy lives only about 20min
drive from my inlaws, so that makes things easy...)

We will likely be on 20m and/or 17m using a 4 el steppir and amp.  I'll
likely share the freq via email as we get ready that day. It's not exactly
a needed entity by any stretch (haha), but a schedule makes it interesting
for some if propagation will allow for it.  NOTE:  Unfortunately, the time
of day really won't support the other bands well that day.

*Please let me know if you'd like me to include you on any update emails
going forward.*  :)

TMRA,

It looks like I'm being invited to come operate the club station in Krakow
Poland during my family's stay there over the next couple weeks.  I'm
honored and excited about that.  :)  I'll forward an operating  schedule
(likely during the evening here in Ohio, on Tuesday, June 6th) when I get
it, if anyone wants a card from their club station.  I'll attempt to hand
carry if they are willing.  :)

I'll also be sure to coordinate via internet with someone here back home to
announce frequencies (likely on 147.27), as well, during my operating time.
(For changes and specifics).

More to follow.

>> I'm going to be in the Krakow Poland area visiting my wife's family for
2 weeks (village of Kobylany) and wondered if any of the Polish stations
that I've recently spoken with (yourself came to mind being so close) would
entertain a guest operator and a few spectators some late morning or early
afternoon while I am there?  My wife's family has always been curious about
what Amateur Radio is all about.

>> Don't feel obligated, but I also know that some of our newer radio club
members in the Toledo, Ohio area would absolutely love the chance to work a
schedule with Poland if you could spare a couple hours at some point during
my stay there?
>>
>> My wife Ania, daughter Kora (3y/o) and I will be there visiting her
family from Thursday, June 2nd through Thursday June 9th.  We have a
wedding to attend on Saturday the 4th (her sister's wedding), but are very
open schedule otherwise.  The best available days for me would be Monday
the 6th or Tuesday, June 7th, considering wedding stuff earlier, for me.
>>
>> Thanks so much for the consideration!  I love the pictures that you have
online of your station and the antenna array!
