GS3PYE/P - Camb-Hams 2017 DXPedition to Islay

Date: 06 - 12.05.2017

Locator: IO65VS

Band: HF; 50; 70; 144 MHz

Activity: MS; SAT; EME

HF
HF bands from 80m and 40m through 10m will be covered with 4 or 5 stations , all capable of running 
the legal power limit. HF antennas include a 20m mono-bander, hexbeam for 20/17/15/12/10, 
1/4 verts+dipole on 80m/40m/30m.

VHF
6m (6 ele), 4m (7 ele) and 2m (17 ele) (all antennas on one mast/rotator), 400w on 6m & 2m, 160w on 
4m. EME will be on moonrise/moonset only. When operating MS, to allow all 3 VHF stations to run 
together, PYE will always run 2nd period, and 15 second periods (on 6m, 4m AND 2m) so to minimise 
inter band interference, otherwise instead of 3 bands being QRV only 1 VHF band will be.
MSK144 is planned to be used mainly on 6m & 4m, with 50.285 & 70.285 being our preferred frequencies. 
On 2m we will mainly use FSK441 on the preferred frequency of 144.385.

Satellites
2m (2x 5 ele) and 70cm (2x 9 ele) satellites.
