Good morning Michael and Rainer,

Sorry for not responding earlier. It is exciting to think of this QRO
operation but unfortunately this is on a low declination weekend that makes
it very difficult for the NA stations to participate. It looks like the only
window is on September 26 th  00:00 W5LUA  and at 00:45 VE4MA.   I do not
think that Al and I can make this window of less than 10 deg elevation but
maybe?

Is there any opportunity for a higher declination weekend?  We normally like
to have >30 degrees el at both ends to avoid atmospheric attenuation.

Best 73
Barry VE4MA

Subj:   W2UHI web info

Hi Joe, I was looking for W2UHI's web site recently and it seems to have  disappeared. 
Frank had a lot of really good info so hopefully there is a new web  address to view it. 
 
Could you ask Frank about this on the 20m net?
 
I would have e-mailed Frank myself but the KD4LT e-mail list that was on  nitehawk.com 
has also disappeared. Sure would be nice if someone could put it  back on that site
 
Just got a new 4 X 8-el 6m and 8 X 222 array up this week. JT65 can't be  far behind!
 
73,
Gerald K5GW
