Good to hear from you and  thanks for the info!!!bed
Ed/VP9GE is a good guy and trying to improve his  station... I believe  he 
has 100w and a 12 element yagi and operates  sideband. He operates a Bed and 
Breakfast at a good location clear to north  america. he is 660 miles from 
Hatteras but easy reach with a reasonable tropo  opening. Based on Hepburn 
Reports, I believe there are many openings to VP9  but no antennas on him. he 
also moves between  the calling frequency's of  144.200 and 144.300. he 
mentioned that he worked a number of east coast  staions he worked in a short 
opening identified by DX stations on his local FM  repeater.

A big step to the Transatlantic crossing may be making it  common place to 
work VP9, C6, KP4, etc... I will ask Ed again to join us. As  well as the 
folks in KP4 that I have beem talking with... 

Will you be  in the January VHF Contest? I should be on 2M  from FM25 but 
will try to  get the 432 Antenna weather permitting... 50 MPH in Hatteras 
from January -  March is common...

lets talk  more....

o.


was  looking at the "World above 50Mhz" in the December 1979 QST. Mentioned 
is  
September 20 tropo opening where VP9IB worked 29 stations from Delaware to  
outhern New England on 144 MHz and K2RIW on 432.
