Clusters Network, Jarmo/OH2BN and Jari/OH6BG for the following DX
information.
PRESS RELEASE from Helsinki (1 November, 2010)
5R8X - THE LATEST FROM MADAGASCAR
Now that the 2010 CQWW SSB Contest is history, the low-band operation
at 5R8X will get seriously underway tonight, Monday. The low-band site
was built but not activated for CQWW because of a severe bout of stomach
problems afflicting the group. Also, extended power outages limited 5R8X
activity during the past weekend.
So, starting tonight, 160, 80, 40 and 30M will be activated for the
dark hours every night. During the week, a specific pattern may be
established for the bands. Activity will run for 8 days, until Tuesday
next week. OH2PM and OH6KN will be at the helm. They did preliminary
tests with USA and Japan, and everything is in order.
They plan to use 1822.5, 3505.5, 3525.0, 7005.5 and 7025.0 and 10105.5
MHz CW almost exclusively. From the base camp, they plan to focus on
24 MHz. The distance between the sites is 15km or 1 hour.
The team remain in good spirits and have passed the 7000 QSO mark.

VOACAP Online goes Google Maps
"I am pleased to inform that the online HF propagation prediction
service VOACAP Online - http://online.voacap.com - now uses Google
Maps for coordinate entry. This should make the service even more
usable (=much quicker) and accessible, also for a casual user. The
transmitter and receiver coordinates are defined by dragging two
location markers on the map. The mouse wheel or keyboard keys can
be used for zooming in and out so placing the markers at the exact
points on the map is as accurate as it can get.
I have also updated the sunspot predictions until the year 2012.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to
drop me a note.... 73 Jari OH6BG (oh6bg@sral.fi)"
