Activity should commence on 26 March and run until 04 April on both bands, with an additional 1 or 2 days of activity on 2M possible until 06 April. The holiday house location has an excellent takeoff over Muri lagoon to our moonrise so we look forward to some interesting ground gain effects! Unfortunately there will be some obstruction at moonset due to the hills in that direction. 6M callsign E51SIX, and QSLs for 6M only go to W7GJ 2M callsign E51EME, and QSLs for 2M only go to ZL1RS Lance has the E51SIX 6M operation information on his website: http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/E51SIX.htm Bob has the E51EME 2M operation information on his website: http://www.qsl.net/zl1rs/ (follow the obvious link) Good luck ... and remember to S-P-R-E-A-D O-U-T when calling :-) 73, Bob ZL1RS and Lance W7GJ zl1rs@yahoo.com http://www.qsl.net/zl1rs/ web site updated 11 Mar 09
