[RSM] Fwd: Happy Canada Day! (July 1)

[Richardson, Ed]

Thanks Art

I will be on as ve4rac allbands both nodes. If I can get a 40m antenna up tomorrow n the air. Will certainly be looking for you and all others. 

With the dxpedition taking up a lot if bandwidth, I would suggest operating up to 15 kHz above the band edges on cw. Or go above 40khz for some slower fun. 

Why not stay up late Saturday night and work the kh1 A’s predictions suggest that the 6-9z window is our best shots on all bands from 20 down.
