Putting together the info from Al, W5LUA and Greg, NA4N plus a few web page visits I think we have the following truely active stations.  It would be helpful to update/ correct it and get it in the EME news letter and net notes .    In the QRG column "T/R both" means the station can make QSOs on either band and work cross band.
The good news is that it looks like most people can work 3456 and so crossband may not be needed very often.
The bad news is that the polarisation is  pretty mixed and if we are ever to get this band into the sort of shape that 13cm is now getting to, i.e. QSOs with 3 continents in a single days moon pass just like on 23cm we surely have to go circular eventually.
(Obviously power helps, if someone runs 200W and linear I'll hear them OK on my CP, but they may not hear my 30W CP on their linear pol.)

Anyone have any ideas about a date for an activity period in the next few months, the DUBUS weekend  21st April would be natural but its already very busy with the KH7 expedition on as well? How about May 20th?
