Hi all ...
I had a quite a few responses asking about times and frequencies. Due to
work and other factors I have deliberately been unspecific, however the
following are my basic intentions ...
"MILAGE MAY VARY" ... CONSIDERABLY!!
160M ... CW 1828 rx up 2 (and higher for JA). I'll call CQ at 0505z (ZL8
sunset) and 1845z (ZL8 sunrise at 1850z) for 10 minutes WHEN I AM ABLE TO.
There will be announce moves to 160m from the higher bands to call CQ for 5
to 10 minutes periodically between 0700z and 1100z. Have patience with my
slow and lousy CW!!
80M - 10M ... SSB on or near the usual DX frequencies, around 0700z to
1100z initially, other times as work allows, particularly at the end of the
trip and on any "days off" that I manage to have.
30M ... CW 10.120. Same slow, lousy CW as 160M. Patience and tolerance!!
10M and 6M ... 29.495 and 50.110. I'll leave the radio running in the
background WHEN I am working inside during the day and see what happens.
CW CQ beacon on 50.110 is likely, break in on SSB or CW.
I may have made a mistake with the arrival date ... should be 29 June, but
don't expect much activity for a few days anyway as I will be "full on"
with urgent work. Please note that the generator power supply is SUPPOSED
to be off from 1100z to 1900z. There is nothing I can do about that. Any
operation between these hours will be battery powered and "QRP".
