| Zone2 on 2M EME and 6M terrestrial - VE3WY/2
Hello to all 2M ops that need Zone2 for a real 40 Zone WAZ. VE3WY-Bob and
K5QE-Marshall are planning a DXpedition to Zone2 this summer. The plan is
for a 2M EME operation and a 6M terrestrial operation. The dates will be
June 25th thru June28th, with a possible operation on June 25th IF we can
get everything up and running soon enough. The degradation during this
time frame is extremely low, so conditions should be great. The grid will
be FO10lb, about 50 miles(=80 km) north of Matagmi, QC. The call will be
VE3WY or VE3WY/2 depending on Canadian regulations. Bob was looking into
getting a special event call--that may or may not occur.
We are planning the following stations:
2M EME
4 x 7el VE3WY loop yagis with QRO power. We will have full steering on
this antenna with good preamps.
ASIDE: When the moon is set for us, we will be trying some of the other
modes, such as MSK144, or SSB/CW if we get some Es or Au.
6M Terrestrial
5el VE3WY yagi with QRO power. We are not going to have preamps here or
elevation, so 6M EME is unlikely.
Since this is a terrestrial effort, we will be running SSB/CW if there is
an opening of some kind and MSK144 meteor scatter if not. Since we are so
far north, I have been told that there will be lots of wild prop from Au,
Au-Es, over the pole, and whatever else.
We will basically have two teams of ops
US Team = N5YA-Bill, AE5VB-Hugh, and me K5QE VE Team = VE2WY-Bob, VA3LM-Len
and VE3ADQ-Peter
There is one problem that we have not solved--how to have Internet at our
site. I will send out another email on that.
