2021 Road Trip - August 25, 2021 1800UTC

EN12 Activation will proceed in about 9 hours at 0310UTC on August 26, 2021

I have arrived at my next stop.  I visited the activation site for tonight and it looks ok.  Moonrise may be delayed for a while due to terrain across the river.

The location is EN12TL34KC on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River.  I will set up on a bluff about 10 meters above the river.  There is an unused 100 year old bridge in the direction of Moonrise as shown in the picture.  Moonrise is scheduled for 0310UTC on August 26, 2021 however it will be delayed.

I am planning 2M EME operation on 144.132 2nd from 0310 to about 0730UTC.  After 2M I will move to 222.080 2nd JT65B and will use the HB9Q page for chat.  At 0730UTC when 222 EME is scheduled the AZ is about 140 degrees and elevation about 40 degrees which should be a very quiet direction from this site.

Moonrise direction.
