Subject: 93rd Anniversary First Two Way Transatlantic QSO - via F/KY6LA Remote

Greetings from Cannes, France

While hams had heard the first transatlantic calls in December 1922 it was not until November 28, 1923 that Leon Deloy 8AB in Nice France and Fred Schnell 1MO in the USA make the first actual two way QSO.

Leon is actually commemorated for his achievement in France with a Legion de Honeur (knighthood) and the naming of a tunnel in his honor.

In order to commemorate this achievement I plan to operate at 55 Boulevard Mont-Boron, Nice France where this first QSO occurred.

In keeping with the experimental spirit of the era, but adding a 21st century update I will remote via my iPad using SmartSDR for iOS to my Flex 6700 in La Jolla, CA

I was just on 20M and it's pretty dead right now so it looks like 40M will be the money band.

QRV as follows.  7.255MHz. December 7, 2016.  3:00Z to 5:00Z

If it actually works and there is Q's I will also try December 8, 2016.  Same time,etc

I will post as many places as possible with the latest updates of times and frequencies.

For you curmudgeons who think I should schlep a transceiver ..been there done that from more than a 100 countries over the past 58 years... I even did that from Nice in 2005 right below Leon's place in Nice   Not anywhere as complex a challenge as remote operations can be..
