[DX-NEWS] Spring Equinox = Polar Path Propagation Peak
Spring Equinox = Polar Path Propagation Peak This is the season to work that difficult Polar Path DX on the High Bands. During the past 2 years, N4KG has worked literally hundreds of Asians (non-JA) in CQ Zones 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 on each of the High Bands, i.e. 10, 12, 15, and 17M, short path from early March through mid April. Openings begin around local Sunrise and Sunset, lasting for 2 to 3 hours. 20M and 30M propagation is typically Short Path in the evenings and may be either Short Path or Long Path in the mornings for different locations. ENJOY !!! Tom N4KG in North ALA GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

[DX-NEWS] Ducie Island
The main frequencies for this operation are 21.020 for CW and 21.295 for SSB twenty-four hours a day. Note, please, that the expedition will have both fifteen meter frequencies QRV at the same time. Other frequencies are 14.195 for SSB and 14.020 for CW, 28.495 for SSB If conditions on the higher bands are poor, they will use 7045 for SSB and 7005 for CW. The operators will not be QRV on 75/80/160 and on WARC until the last part of the operation. A frequency for CW on WARC will be announced later. The starting date will be released when I have their estimated time of arrival. The call will not be released until the last minute. de [EMAIL PROTECTED] as per WA2MOE (Pilot Station) __ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

Has anyone observed the Ducie-bound on as /mm yet?

The consensus is /MM within the next two days ... and that they have a Ducie license. Now that is good news. 73. --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
[DX-NEWS] FT101E ?
Hello All, would any kind DXer who still happens to have an old FT101E in the shack kindly take a look at the ACC socket on the back and let me know which pins (its 1 and 2 but there is no indication on the socket which is which) need to be crossed for the heaters. I just got gifted an old rig from a SK estate and would like to fire it up from time to time, and the ACC plug is missing. 73 de Declan EI6FR --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

Hello, friends Kan, JA1BK and Jin, JF1IST are about to fly off Narita Airport, Japan in a few hours. The Team will set up 15m/20m dipole antenna as soon as they get on the Braveheart. We can expect them on the air as /MM sometime on 13th or on 14th by local time. Hope that many stations will be able to work with them when they arrive on the new entity, Ducie Is! Good luck to you all!

On Mon, 11 Mar 2002 17:41:25 -0500 n3drk [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would like to be knowledgable on propagation like you noted. How does one like myself get that knowledge? thanks john Read as much as you can on Propagation in the ARRL Handbook, Antenna Book, CQ Books, RSGB Books, and LISTEN on the radio on all bands, at all hours, during all seasons, and all parts of the sun spot cycle. SUMMER propagation is unlike any other season, with LOWER MUF's due to solar heating of the ionosphere and higher absorption and noise on the lower frequencies. You will find the propagation programs are generally true, but often underestimate MUF's and don't show important enhancements at sunrise and sunset that appear on the Low Bands. Once you have a basic feel for how each band behaves at Sunrise and Sunset, the BEST propagation guide is a Terminator Map such as the DX Edge or a Mapping Program that shows regions of daylight and dark. W6ELPROP is a good free program available on the web. The maps are EXCELLENT. I find the high band predictions to be 'conservative', i.e., the bands usually open earlier and stay open later than shown. Participating in DX Contests is a good place to observe propagation, perhaps staying on a single band per contest to get a feel for how that band plays around the clock. Do this at high, medium, and low sunspot activity levels. Good Listening, Tom N4KG actively DXing and Contesting since 1955. GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

[DX-NEWS] IRC's...sorry!
Sorry guys...from a of couple of directs I received from guys that know me well, I didn't mean to give the impression that ALL the branches were anti-IRC. I just wanted to point out that the bunches that I sold locally were sold for that reason...it was easier to deal with the money than the USPO (sounds like same as Joe W3HNK Again..sorry for the bad spin, but I guess life doesn't get simpler, but only more efficient(?) 73 Ken WA8JOC GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
