[Wswss] 4O/PA2CHR in JN92hu May 26 to June 4 on 50.195 JT65A mode

[Lance Collister]

In case you had not already heard about it, this is to remind you of the exciting 
news about the 4O 6m EME DXpedition by PA2CHR.  He expects to be QRV on 6m by May 
26 and I am sure he will make many contacts on Es.  He will look especially for 6m 
EME during moonrise and moonset on May 29, when cndx are best for 6m EME.

Note that they WILL have elevation.  For NA stations with horizon-only antennas,
please note that your moonrise does match the 4O moonset on at least one or two
days while Chris is there!

Chris will be using his 6M7JHV (which he took down for the trip) and an 800w
amplifier loaned by Rene, PE1L.  MNI TNX Rene!  Particulary on the days with 
optimum cndx, he should be able to contact similarly equipped stations.  Below is 
the information from Rene.  As with all VHF DXpeditions, please watch for more 
information on the NEWS section of Make More Miles on VHF:

GL and VY 73, Lance

Update  15 May.

We hope to arrive on Monday morning May 25 at the location on the hill in JN92HJ.
If all works out fine we can build up the 2mtr. system that day. If so, first
operation is on May 26.
I expect the 6mtr. antenna to go up on the 26th also.

Call:  Most probably  4O/  homecalls.

50 MHz:
We are glad we will try our first steps into 6mtr. EME during this trip!
I took my 6M7JHV from the roof and we can use a 800W. PA from Rene, PE1L: many thanks.

Today the preamp with a BFQ34 is finished, and we will have full elevation.
TX and RX on 50.195 in JT65A
On May 29 we will specially be QRV on 6mtr. during moonrise and set for smaller
stations.
