[Moon-net] Tenative 10GHz Activity Periods

[Chris Bartram]

Here are a few suggested activity periods for the next Lunar cycle. I'd be 
grateful for (constructive!) comments, as this has clearly got to develop 
cooperatively. I've concentrated on Eu/Eu periods this time. That's not 
because I want to impede Eu/NA activity - anything but - but because the 
Earth/Moon positions make the times very antisocial at one end of the path or 
the other, and skeds would probably be more productive. November is rather 
better. If there were currently activity from Oceania/Asia, I'd be delighted 
to try to arrange relevant activity times... 

All the times here are UTC. I've put a * after the preferred date.

'Low path loss' weekend

6 October	2000 - 2230	Eu/Eu
7 October*	2000 - 2230	Eu/Eu
8 October	2000 - 2230	Eu/Eu

Note that 7/8 October is the IARU Region1 UHF/Microwave Contest. However EME 
QSOs are not allowed, at least in the UK :-(

'High path loss' weekend.

14 October*	0700	- 1100	Eu/Eu then Eu/NA
15 October	0700 - 1200	Eu/Eu then Eu/NA

Can I also suggest that on weekday evenings in Europe, when the Moon is above 
the horizon, we try to concentrate random 10GHz activity around 2000CET?
