I will be on Saturday May 10th for the 2008 6M spring Sprint, 2300Z,
to 0300 Z. Look for me.
Virginia is out of town with the normal rover vehicle, so I will have
to outfit the old 4Runner for this effort. Good thing the contest is
Saturday evening. I am still not quite sure how I will do this.
The location and schedule will be much the same as for the 2M spring
sprint:
DM74 2300Z to 0000Z
DM75 0030Z to 0130Z
DM65 0200z to 0230z
If we get some good propagation, I may stay longer at a grid square.
Or if activity wanes, I may leave early. But I will try to meet the
schedule I have set and stay at least 45 minutes at each square. I
should be able to work into Colorado from here as well as down to Las
Cruces. If the calling frequency gets busy I will QSY up.
The rig is an IC551D (75 Watts) to a 2 element Yagi up 14 feet. This
will be about 24 dBW EIRP if you want to do the calculations. I will
have CW for weak signals.
The Sporadic E season has started so there is a small but finite,
maybe 15% to 20%, chance of Sporadic E.
Please listen for me. Thanks for your time and good luck in the
sprint. - Duffey
