KA6U Update - February 24, 2023 -  0430UTC

Next week starting on February 28th I plan to activate AL, MS and LA on 23cm, 70cm and 222 EME.
I will start each session with 23cm and 70cm running at the same time.  I will then move to 23cm and 222 operations.  I will operate AL and MS from a location on the border of the two states.  I will start in AL and then move station (drag) across border into MS.  I operated from this location last year on 23cm and 222 EME.

I will have excellent (more than I want) cell coverage and Internet access at all sites.

Operating Plan:
  • February 28 (UTC) EM50TL - Alabama - 23cm and 70cm at same time then 23cm and 222 EME - 1900UTC - 2200UTC (or until all callers complete)
  • Move station across border into Mississippi - 2200UTC - 2230UTC
  • February 28 (UTC) EM50TL - Mississippi - 23cm and 70cm at same time then 23cm and 222 EME - 2230UTC - 0100UTC
  • March 2nd (UTC) EM31 - Louisiana - 23cm and 70 cm at same time then 23cm and 222 EME - 2100UTC - 0100UTC
The EM50TL location is across the road from a cell tower, however I have operated successfully from this location in the past.  Here is a satellite view.  The operating location is on the border (thin gray line) to the right of the US highway 90 label.
