KA6U Update - November 8, 2022 -  1730UTC

23cm Station Tested and Ready to Run Later Today

Station is tested and recalibrated off the Sun with normal/expected performance.

I will continue AR operations at 2300UTC then move 20 feet across the border into MO.

I have found a location on the AR/MO border in EM56DA10 on a levee above the Mississippi River.  I will go to that location and set up on the AR side of the border first.  I will run on AR and then move the dish and my car across the border into MO.  That will take about 5 minutes.

I am not planning 222 operations tonight

The weather will be clear tonight with no wind.

Updated Plan:

Operate Arkansas and Missouri tonight, Tuesday night local time
  • EM56 - Arkansas - 2300 - 0200UTC Nov 8 -23cm
  • EM56 - Missouri - 0200 - 0400UTC Nov 9- 23cm
  • EM56 - Kentucky - 2345 - 0400UTC starting Nov 9 finishing Nov 10 early morning UTC - 23cm
I am planning 23cm only activation on Wed night in KY.  I have hour drive back to hotel then 7 hour drive Thursday morning.

I will be back to this area in the future on 70cm and 222.
