  KA6U Update April 15, 2024 1100UTC MS 902 EME Activation I will be in EM53AF in Mississippi on Wednesday night local time to operate on 902 EME.

  KA6U Update April 6, 2024 0000UTC 902, 432, 1296 EME Roving Spring Trip Rescheduled to June I am moving the start of the 2024 Spring roving trip to the 2nd week of June. The Moon window to EU will be good. I plan to head up the east coast to the RI area and be QRV at a good time for EU on or around June 11th. I will then activate other states in the Northeast and then head west to ND and then South and back to Florida. Goal is to activate 15 - 20 states. Possible states include: KS, MO, AR, SD, ND, MN, ME, VT, NH, RI, MA, DE, PA etc. I can make shorter trips to fill in the lower Midwest and the Southeast. Because I will be running both 902 and 432 I may not be able to do multiple states in one day.   I also plan to put IN on the air on 23cm. I will operate on 432 in RI, however I will be running low power.  If you have a properly working 8 yagi station we should be able to work.   4 yagi stations probably not. Peter KA6U
 KA6U Update April 2, 2024 1700UTC 902, 432, 1296 EME Roving Spring Trip Hello everyone. Time to come out of hibernation. I am planning to be QRV on 902EME and 432EME from April 22 until about May 6th. And a few 23cm states to help some operators finish WAS. I will leave Marshall's place in Texas on April 21st and head North. The basic plan is to head North to North Dakota then turn right and go to Maine. The goal is to activate all needed states without stations on these bands that are the furthest from Florida. There are 15 days available.  I don't know if I have the energy or the weather to be on every day but will do as many days as possible. Possible states include: KS, MO, AR, SD, ND, MN, ME, VT, NH, RI, MA, DE, PA etc. I can make shorter trips to fill in the lower Midwest and the Southeast. At the beginning of the trip operations will start about 0300UTC and at the end about 1300UTC. I will operate in most cases during times that will cover the western US. The moon will
