The main objectives of their expedition are as follows:
1. participate in the Estonian Open Field Day
2. 432MHz EME (CW & JT44)
3. 50/144/1296MHz JT44 EME počas moonset-u (iba na dohodnutý sked)
4. 144MHz MS HSCW, FSK441 & JT44 tropo DX-ing (no skeds beforehand, only after installing the equipment on the island). They will also follow and be interested in working with other types of propagation at 2 m.
5. continuous monitoring of the occurrence of Es on 50/144 MHz
6. to participate IOTA HF contest-u v kategórii LP
Frequencies:
432MHz EME random: 432.090MHz, (first 2.5min period)
144MHz HSCW : 144.177MHz (first period)
FSK441 : 144.377MHz (first period)
monitoring for Es & tropo: 50.110; 144,300; 432.200; 1296.200 MHz
At KV, their equipment will consist of two FT-920 without PA, all-band vertical R7000, slooper on 80m, 9 el. tribander, delta loop for 20 m. On 6 m it will also be FT-920 and 5 electric antennas. Two stations will be available on 2 m, one with TS-790E, the other with FT-847 with a power of 350-500W and 2×9 electric antenna. At 70 cm it will be TS-790E, 1000W and 4×32 el.DJ9BV rotatable in azimuth and elevation with preamplifier. Also on 23 cm it will be TS-790E, about 140W and 44 electric antenna with preamplifier.
Schedules can best be agreed by SMS with Tom ES2RJ +3725151815 or Andy ES2NA +3725127611. 432MHz EME skedy can be arranged with K1RQG or by phone or SMS on the above numbers. During the Estonian Open Fielday, however, it is not possible to arrange schedules. QSL na Toomas Kull, P.O.Box 4, Viimsi, 74001, ESTONIA alebo via bureau.
KP48da (8.-9.)/KP38ma (9.-12.)/KP37na (12.-14.): The OH8K "gang" is planning a DX expedition during the Perseids on 6 and 2m SSB/CW/HSCW/WSJT. They will work from August 8 to 14 on the brand OH9O (OHNO on HSCW). The operators will be OH6JW and OH8MM. In case of a problem with Aurora, the whole expedition falls.
Frequencies: SSB/CW : 50.178 MHz, WSJT : 144.355 MHz, HSCW : 144.147 MHz at 2500lpm, OH9O starts, 2.5 minute periods (possibility of 1 minute periods if it doesn't cause problems for nearby stations in central EU).
The device will consist of 18 el.antennas and PA with 3CX800A7. QSL via OH8K or OH8MSM (same address). Schedules can only be agreed after discovering the expedition in the zone by SMS to +358 400 165 268.
JN73qw: 9A1CAL/p plánuje 144 MHz CW/SSB/HSCW/FSK441 expedíciu z ostrova Pasman. Všetky informácie nájdete na https://www.QSL.net/9a1cal under the heading News.
JO39: počas maxima, od 11.-14.augusta, bude QRV aj expedícia LA0BY/p na 144 MHz a LA/DL3YEL na 50 MHz. QTH je vysoko v horách, s dobrým výhľadom na JV-J-JZ (a sever – Aurora). Kvôli absencii sieťového napájania bude možné pracovať iba so 180W do 2×9 el.antény, alternatívne asi 500W z PA s 8874 napájaného z generátora.
Frequencies: sked, random HSCW/SSB 144.188 MHz and WSJT (only random outside the maximum) 144.388 MHz. Around (+/- 8 hours) the maximum, which is expected on August 12 at 23.30 UTC, only random SSB will work. On HSCW they will operate with a 2.5 minute period at 1500 lpm on the LAYBYP mark, on SSB with 1 minute periods with breaks every 10-15 seconds. They will broadcast in the second period. Before but after the maximum, it is also possible to change the QTH for a better one with an open view to the east. Stations from the East (OH/ES/YL/LY/UA3 etc.) may be interested in QSO via email (la0by@darc.de), QTH nemá GSM pokrytie.
