3D2Y: 6 METER TERRESTRIAL AND EME PLANS ---> Plans are "to make every effort
to hand out as many 6 meter QSOs as possible". The team will arrive on
Rotuma on 15 November, and will be on the air through 3 December.
"6m EME operations will be captained by Don, N1DG, and all of our EME opera-
tors will be remote. Our 6 meter EME schedule will be published in advance.
Working EME with a small team DXpedition is a challenge, by utilizing our
remote team we can leverage their expertise resulting in a much better
opportunity to make as many EME contacts as possible.
6 meter terrestrial operations will be manned by a mix of local and remote
operators. We will monitor PSK Reporter and the ON4KST Chat room for open-
ings. We are able to receive notifications of potential openings in real-
time. Our primary terrestrial FT8 frequency of operation on 6 meters is
50313. We will QSY as needed".
The DXpedition is dedicated to the memory of Bob Allphin, K4UEE (SK 10 Feb-
ruary 2024), "the most prolific DXpedition leader of our generation". See
https://rotuma2024.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/61560596036650 for
updates.
MARAC SPONSORS USA-CA AWARD ---> "The Board of Directors of the Mobile
Amateur Radio Awards Club (MARAC) has voted to sponsor the coveted award for
making contacts with all United States counties for the first time. The
award, known as the United States of America County Award (USA-CA), was
sponsored by CQ Magazine until the ham radio journal ceased publication. One
major change from the CQ Magazine award will be the elimination of the
requirement for written confirmations". See http://www.marac.org/ for
complete information.
