C91JE EME Operating Schedule


At the end of his July 17 operation C91JE has completed forty 144 MHz EME QSOs
and his small 2-Yagi array seems to be working well. Europe has fared best in the
race of QSOs with thirty-two stations making the log. This was followed up by five 
JAs and North America trailing with only three W stations in the log.
 
Europe has a great deal of common moon time with African stations and in an effort
to give more Ws the opportunity to have a QSO, we would like to ask the cooperation
of European stations by not calling Hannes during the periods scheduled for calling
North & South America. These periods will be near the C91JE moonset and after U.S.
west coast stations have had their moonrise.
 
The C91JE Operating schedule for the rest of the week will be as follows:

                          Full                                Periods For
                          Operating Period                    North & South America Only
Wed - 19 July                0700 - 1000 utc                     0800 - 1000
Thu - 20 July                0700 - 1050                         0900 - 1050
Fri - 21 July                0800 - 1140                         1000 - 1140
Sat - 22 July                0900 - 1230                         1100 - 1230
Sun - 23 July                1000 - 1330                         1200 - 1330
 
During the early part of each session all stations are welcome to call, but in the time
allotted for NA & SA the European stations are asked to stand by unless no one in these
areas are known to be active. The N0UK EME LINK should be used for coordination as much
as possible to avoid several stations calling at the same time.
 
This operation will be on 144.112 MHz JT65B with C91JE transmitting first period. There
have been several requests for operation on other frequencies because of interference
that we will try to accommodate but all frequency changes will be announced first on 
the N0UK EME LINK.
 
If you contact C91JE (also 9J2JD & 7Q7JE) it would be appreciated if you would send a
screenshot of the contact to zs6wb@telkomsa.net.  Some of these will be used in 
a presentation to be given to local radio clubs by Hannes after his return.
