KA6U Update - April 27, 2023 -  0400UTC

The plan starting tomorrow Thursday is my current plan.
Weather forecasts are excellent.

Thanks for emails on log corrections.  I will make the corrections in the morning.

Today I drove 12 hours from South Dakota to Evanston, WY near the WY/UT border.
I arrived at 2230 UTC (as planned) too late for a normal activation.

I set up the 23cm station in Utah and was able to complete with KB2SA so Bill could complete WAS on 23cm.  Congratulations Bill.  The wind became very strong and I had to take the dish down immediately.

It looks like there are opportunities for several more Ops to complete 23cm WAS this week.

The wind forecasts for the next 5 days in the Pacific Northwest are excellent.

Plan is:
  • Thursday April 27 - Wyoming DN41 1815UTC  - 2030UTC 23cm and 70cm at same time.
  • Thursday April 27 - Utah DN41 2030 - 2300UTC 23cm and 70cm at the same time.
  • Friday April 28 - Idaho DN22 1930UTC - 2200 UTC 23cm and 70cm at the same time
  • Friday April 28 - Nevada DN21 2230UTC - 0100UTC 23cm and 70cm at the same time
