As always W3AO will be on 160 meters. We usually make about 100 QSOs. We're also prepared for FT-8, but have no idea what to expect. Our free form text message will be: 15A MDC 73

We will be operating using K6EI for the main call and W6ZZZ for our GOTO station. We are planning on operating QRP in the 14AB category. We are seriously considering adding 160M antennas to our mix although our 160M experience has not be too good in the past. Are others planning on being active on 160? We discovered many years ago that using Elecraft equipment allowed us to operate digital, CW, and voice on a single band. With triplexers for sharing antennas between bands, we can limit the amount of aluminium we need to raise, and still get lots of HF statins on the air. We will also have a significant VHF/UHF operation. Our stated goal is to have a maximum of fun with a minimum of work. As one of the digital station captains, I'm wondering how much FT8 we should expect to see. wsjt-x isn't yet set up well for field day, but with its free-form 13 character messages we can probably make it work. 73 Bill AE6JV ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | I like the farmers' market | Periwinkle (408)356-8506 | because I can get fruits and | 16345 Englewood Ave www.pwpconsult.com | vegetables without stickers. | Los Gatos, CA 95032 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
