[Wswss] Re: [Magic Band EME] P29 2m and 6m JT65 EME DXpedition!

[David Burger]

Hi Lance,
There is an internet cafe in Port Morsby at the tourist information in the 
main street there, and the larger hotels also have limited access there, 
pending where Mike is staying.
It was fantastic to meet some of the many people at W6JKV... and managed 
just under an hour on 20m & 40m with the SAC and TxQSOP.. I used both K3HZ 
and N5V...  needless to say the queue behind the 6m wireless was out the 
door.

I will be staying with Mark VK8MS in Darwin from 10 - 15 Dec, and yes 
Lance, his station easily meets your EME DX spec.  I will make sure one of 
my laptops is up to the digital task and see what happens. The grid there 
is PH57kp.  As VK8AA, I will only be on 10m SSB for the ARRL 10m event.. 
but I promise to press that '50M' button on my pro3 one day,
73 7 Best regards,
VK2CZ / VK8AA

[Magic Band EME] P29 2m and 6m JT65 EME DXpedition!






Time to get ready for a VERY EXCITING new DXCC this month! I just received 
word 
that the travel reservations are confirmed! Of course, P29 has never been 
on EME 
on either band before, and it should be a very good chance for many people 
to 
contact a very rare country.

Experienced EME'er K6MYC is going to P29 with equipment for 2m and 6m EME 
(provided he can find a couple of SignalLink rig interfaces by the end of 
next 
week!). There may be some email service via sailmail or winlink from the 
boat, 
but it is not expected that there will be any internet communications. 
Mike is 
very busy getting ready for an Otober 15 departure, but I am sure will 
share more 
information (or I will) as soon as it is available, but wanted to give you 
time to 
get ready for this very exciting new DXCC!

P29VLR (in QI45UM) Oct. 21-26 (GREAT cndx for 6m EME and toward the end of 
the 
period, a common moon with horizon-only stations in NW EU on their 
moonrise)

P29NI (in QI28mm) Oct 29 - Nov 3 (Common moon with horizon-only northeast 
USA 
stations on their moonset)

GL and VY 73, Lance
