FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VK9LA NEWS RELEASE MARCH 12TH
LOW BAND OPERATIONS.......
Extensive work has taken place to make sure all operators are familiar
with various sunrise sunset times throughout the world.
Lord Howe island Sunset is at approx 07.36utc with Sunrise being 19.36utc
(taken at 27th March 2009 ). We have all been familiarizing ourselves with
possible propagation openings for all points of the globe.
A complete list in an ascending pecking order will be at every HF station
for operators to continually check. It is our plan to have an operator
on deck on 160m from 07.40utc daily to work all the Pacific areas followed
by various parts of Asia somewhere around 08.50utc. From then we will look
towards South Americas at around 09.35utc thru to approx 10.15utc when we
will begin looking for W1 in USA at approx 10.30utc then head to again some
parts of Asia and then VE3 and W4 around 11.30utc as well as TI and XE
areas. UA9 around 13.30utc followed by W6 etc.
At approx 15.00utc we will begin searching for the likes of EK, 4L, UA1
followed by 4X at 15.45 and then the likes of 5B.
Hopefully we will get a shot at South Africa around 16.15utc then head
up again into EU territory to LZ around 16.35utc, HA and so on leading
up to I, LA, OZ, HB and G lands at 18.20utc.This procedure will be done
every day we are there. This will also be adopted on 80m as well as 75m
as we have 2 stations on air simultaneously on the same band, as well
as 40m. We expect big long openings on all bands below 20m. We would
however request that you be patient. It will take us a couple of days
to install all low band antennas.
We would also request that once you are in the log to please do not call
the next night, let someone else have a go…… my pet hate is to see the
same station in the log on the same band over and over.
Cu in the pile ups....... Bill VK4FW.... Dxpedition Leader
