Activation of JO00 JO10 JO11 on August,19-20-21 2005 - preliminary info 

Hi - the ON4SHF crew (ops ON4IY // ON4CDU) will be at the grid corner of JO00 JO11 JO10 JO01 August 19-21, French coastal area. Please note the actual corner is in the Channel so we will not be able to go to JO01.

All bands 23-1.2cm will be available. The emphasis will be on 24GHz on Friday and Saturday, and 5.7 and 10GHz on Sunday (F8TD and G 6/3 cummulatives contests).

We will have our usual setup on 23-3 as well as 2 stations on 24 Ghz, 1 tower mounted and 1 on tripod. The tower mounted system has 3W, 48cm dish and 2 dB NF. The tripod system has 2W, 60cm and 2.3 dB NF. Both systems have brushed the 180km mark under average conditions so we should be able to reach in G F and maybe PA. We have 10 GHz pilot systems to help aiming.

KST and 2m talkback are available. Cell phone +32 496 47 55 64.

Skeds at on4iy@qsl.net, so we can organize to gove out the maximum of contacts. Quick movements are anticipated e.g. to the ON coast or Flemish Ardennes depending on conditions and contacts made.

F/ON4SHF/P - hope to QSL.
