[VHFcontesting] Working K5QE in the ARRL EME contest....

[Marshall-K5QE]

I would like to invite those contest stations with a good 6M antenna and 
a KW(or more) to run with us in the EME contest.  You don't have to have 
EL to work us, as you can just utilize the rising or setting moon.  Here 
is our announcement for this contest....please try to work us if you 
can.  Thanks...

The K5QE EME station will be on full time for the ARRL 2023 EME 
contest-Oct 28 & 29 and Nov 25 & 26.  Those are the weekends reserved 
for 6M thru 1296.  We plan to have a station active on each and every 
band for the entire time that the moon is up for us.

The chat pages are a great resource so USE THEM!!

We want to work all the normal EME stations, but we want also to work 
the many stations that have a good tropo station with no elevation, by 
utilizing your rising or setting moon.  If you have a good yagi pointed 
at the horizon and 300-400W of power(or more), the we should be able to 
work you.  We do want to run with you for your state.

If you are to the west of us, you should just point your antenna at the 
AZ of the rising moon.  If you are to the east of us, you should point 
at the setting moon.  You should have good moon time for about 30-45 min 
as the moon rises or sets.

Please give us a try in the contest.  We would love to get you into the 
logs.    Thank you.
