TM1Y JN36BP
Hi,
As Every year, a french team will be active from JN36BP close to Swiss 
border.
This year, we will use TM1Y callsign.
RIG should be :
TX : GS35 Amps + 8*14 DJ9BV + 8*omnidirectional style 8dBd
RX : Xtal filter + LNA + 4*10 DJ9BV (3) + 8*14 DJ9BV + 2*17 F9FT + 20 
colinear + 8*omni

As 8*14 has a very narrow angle, we will use it for northen DL stations 
as for OZ and SM stations.
During night period we will try to find DX into various areas, like G, 
OE, OK, SP, etc...

As our friends HB9/EA2URE (30Km away) will be on lower part of the band, 
we will use 144.375 and we hope that interferences will be lower than 
last year in order to beat our record !

As we cannot beat it without you, Please call us !

Regards,

We are reachable in the european cluster network, and in the
wwconv-channel 14345. Calling in CW is no problem.

According to newest statistics, we worked 23568 contest QSOs on the
