Hello!
I have received an email from Kazu, JA1RJU, asking me to set up skeds
for him with USA 6m EME stations. I don't know what his plans are for
Europe, but he will be active on his moonrises on 6m with USA skeds.
Although his windows with USA are limited, it looks like he will have
moonrise times with moonsets all across the country, so even
horizon-only 6m EME stations should have a good opportunity to work him.
Because of his very limited time and limited window with USA, he has
decided to operate 6m EME only on skeds; presumably he will operate 2m
EME if he does NOT have a 6m EME sked, and he is giving priority to 6m
EME.
His plan is to operate random only on 2m JT65B mode, transceive on
144.107 (except when he is looking for JA stations, in which case he
will listen on 144.048). Please only call him if you hear him. He will
always XMIT in the first sequence.
On 6m EME, he will operate transceive on 50.198 using JT65A mode. He
will always XMIT in the first sequence. Sked stations are to call
exactly on 50.198. Any random callers are invited to call during other
people's skeds only if you hear him - random calls must be made 300 Hz
above the sked frequency, so call on 50.198.3. If he is not hearing the
sked station, he will then have a chance to work the random station. He
will have a 7 element yagi and 800 watts. He hopes to have good ground
gain over the ocean on his moonrise (so he probably will have a negative
horizon and can start before the moon reaches zero degrees elevation).
The latest plan is to arrive on Feb 3, but I don't know how long it will
take him to get set up to operate. He also told me that there is a good
chance they will have to take down the antennas on Feb 12 (moonrise on
Feb 12 is probably too noisy for 6m EME anyway).
If you have previously worked single yagi stations and are interested in
a 6m contact with him, please send me a sked proposal ASAP!! They leave
Manila on Feb 1, so there is no time to waste! Please spread the word!
Here is what his moon looks like:
