Hi Joe,

I don't know where the time goes.  I have been doing a great deal of
business travel the last few weeks.  It now appears definite that I will
be in Bermuda over the Memorial Day weekend.  I spoke to VP9MU and it
appears that he will help me put VP9 on 1296 EME.  I have been working
on an 8' offset stress dish, but I am not sure I will have it done in
time.  If I can not get the offset dish going, I will bring a 15' long
loop yagi.  I will have an 80 W SSPA and use Paul's (VP9MU) IC910H with
a 1296 module.  This is not a lot of power, but if all goes well, we
should be able to make some JT44 and possibly even some CW QSOs.

Could you cordinatate the skeds?  It looks like Saturday and Sunday
afternoon (29/30 May) will be the best time for skeds.  I have no idea
about frequency, but guess that 1296.034 is as good as any for JT44 and
1296.035 for CW.

Regarding the NL...  There is a big gap this month as the next activity
weekend is on June 12/13.  I will try to get something out before I
leave.

I hope all is well at your end.

73, Al - K2UYH
