DIGITAL SKEDS AND EXPEDITIONS

 

WEEKEND WSJT DIGITAL OPERATION
Weekend operations using WSJT will continue on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 0330 utc until 0600 utc and primary calling frequencies will be 50.245 and 144.245 MHz. The FSK441 mode is used primarily for meteor scatter work and JT44 for long-distance tropo work.
If you aren't already equipped for WSJT we urge you to try it and you will be amazed what your VHF station is capable of. With 100 watts on 144 MHz and a small Yagi fixed on the horizon you will be able to make contacts in North America by reflecting your signals off the moon.

ZS6DDG/P OPERATIONS
After his recent stay at Richards Bay (KG61) Derek will be home in Johannesburg during the month of September for a well-earned rest. From mid-October until early December he will be back on the road with stays scheduled in Durban (KG50), Phalaborwa (KG56), Mozambique (KG77) and Simons Town (JF95). During these trips he plans to be active on both 50 and 144 MHz all-modes including the JT44 and FSK441 digital modes.
Of particular interest will be the week in Mozambique in mid-November as the location well north of Maputo will be a good meteor scatter distance from South Africa and Namibia for both 50 and 144 MHz and MS contacts using FSK441 should be a distinct possibility for anyone with a reasonably well-equipped digital station. For operators in the Johannesburg area this will probably be your best opportunity to work C9 on 144 MHz and for those who have not yet worked C9 on 50 MHz the contact should be relative easy using FSK441.
