This is mostly for Jim, W4KXY, but I thouht I would forward it to the
group. It would appear that this groups definition of QRP on 432 makes
W4NH's typical 432 configuration QRO. I have not looked at the
particulars for the June contest, but HB9Q should be quite workable and
is not a grid that we will ever work otherwise in the contest. You might
want to try working them from home too Jim! See http://www.hb9q.ch/.
HB9Q is also on 2m EME, with not quite the gain of their 15m dish on
432, but an 8x array of M2 long booms is a significant station. I
believe there are other opportunities for EME grids on 144 and 432. The
HB9Q site even identified one or two 222 EME capable/wanting stations
that I did not know about (follow the EME Initial List link and click on
all lists.)
Just some ideas, I'll try to compute the EME outlook for the June
contest shortly.
Brian,

Dear friends
I am of cours a 432 fan, so there is never enough activity anyhow.
But I also belief that 432 has many more positive aspects, which Chris
GW4DGU, did point out very well! So I'll not repeat them.
To give everybody an idea of my QRP work of the last 12 month, please
have a look at my QRP stations worked:

Many of them were first ever 432 EME QSO's, this is the best prove that
there is new activity on the band! Of cours they are QRP but if they
find out what they can do they usualy start to add power or antennas or
both!
See my 432 band page (_www.hb9q.ch_ <file://www.hb9q.ch>) for the
detailed logs of the last 2 years!
