Subject: [222Activity] 222 MHz EME on Saturday June 27
If you are not involved in ARRL Field Day, would you be interested in getting
on 222 MHz EME on Friday or Saturday? EME Condx look really good with low
degradation. My Moonrise is at 11:20 UT in the morning on Friday. That is a
good time for any East Coast stations that may want to try a possible EME sked.
You just need to know when the Moon rises at ur house and point your antenna
towards that point. A few examples: K1WHS MR = 11:20 UT. KF0M in Wichita 13:25
UT Arkansas is 13:07 UT. Indiana is 12:25 UT. California Moon rise is at
about 15:07 UT. ON Saturday morning 28 June my MR is at 12:35 UT. Indiana is
13:40 UT, Wichita, KS is 14:40 UT , Arkansas is 14:20, and California is 16:10.
I have been fighting a bad case of what I think is COVID, and am just stating
to feel human again, so am anxious to play radio again. No Field Day for me as
I would probably still be infectious. I am staying home. If you hear me on 222
EME, I doubt there is any way you could become ill. ( No bad jokes please!)
Sunday morning looks good too. I can be QRV either time. The rig here is 1500
watts to 4 X 22 element HB K1FO style yagis at 106 ft, and they work very well.
The preamp is located on the antenna, and I usually can hear stations better
than they hear me. If you have never tried a 222 MHz EME sked before, there is
no time better than tomorrow morning. Who knows, you might hear something?
Send me a note and we can set something up.
