Off Topic - 2009 Kyrgyzstan 50 MHz DXpedition from Grid Locator MN82re starts SUNDAY!!

W7GJ, Lance
Just a final reminder to any K3 owner with a 6m yagi and an amplifier - some REAL
MAGIC is just about to begin ;-)  The EX7MW/EX8MLT 6m DXpedition starts with their
moonrise on Sunday!  That corresponds to moonset in the USA and is around the middle
of the day.  They should be able to complete a JT65A mode contact with anyone having
good ground gain and a 5 element yagi and 500w.

CNDX for 6m EME next week look excellent, and they steadily improve as the week
progresses.  Mike and Oleg have specially selected a quiet location with excellent
ground gain over the large lake Issyk-Kul. They will be elevating their antenna when
the moon is higher than 20 degrees, so they can continue to operate during your
moonrise or moonset.  Don't miss out on this great opportunity to contact a rare DXCC
on 6m!

The K3 makes it simple to operate digital modes!  If you still have not tried JT65A
mode yet, there are tips on how to use it for EME on my website:

Remember that they will always transmit in the first sequence, so you always leave
the TX FIRST box on your JT65A screen UNchecked.  Watch for more updates and info at:

If you copy them please call them!!  Just remember to spread out with 200Hz between
callers!  Good luck and DX to all on the Magic Band!  VY 73, Lance
