METEORSCATTER - NEXT MS-SHOWER:
Southern Delta-Aquariids, with maximum on July 27. High mean
Sporadic meteor rate (with daily maximum in the morning), together
with several minor showers, are able to provide good chances to
MS-DXers in July, even if no big showers cross Earth’s orbit this
month. However, best period in July is at the end of the month,
when a medium shower (Southern Delta Aquariids) appears, combined
with some other minor showers. The new MS Shower peaks are updated
and available at our MS-Propagationpage: www.mmmonvhf.de/ms.php

Jim (K4BI) & Mario (K2ZD) will be active as ZF2BI and ZF2ZD from
Cayman islands, EK99GI on 6m ES and EME (WSJT). ZF2ZD Mario is
active on six meter Meteor Scatter and EME until July 6th. I worked
Mario this morning in 17 minutes using FSK441. His station is 1Kw
with 6M5X at 55Ft and 174 Ft. from the ocean. (Should be workable
for many stations). I believe with his station he should be able to
work some longer meteor scatter contacts. Our distance was 1168
miles and his pings were very strong and often.

3A2M - Trip...
Hi all, unfortunately ARM (Association Radioamateur Monaco) has not
been able to obtain in time, from the government, the use of a
suitable building, so the activation of 3A, by the Italian team,
is temporarily cancelled. We are very downhearted, all equipment was
ready, and we were already in the right frame of mind, sorry for the
illusions we created. We will meet with ARM soon to examine future
possibilities. I am sure that we will be able to activate 3A, but
surely not in the near future, so you can put the red sign in MMM.

N6VMO CM94 QRV July 4 - 6 144.128Mhz and 1296.068MHz JT65B 1st.
I will be QRV on 144.128MHz and quite possibly, for the first time,
on 1296MHz this weekend! Mode will be JT65B/C and 1st sequence.
The EME site does have internet access, so look for me to announce
my presence on the both bands. I will only be able to operate one
band at a time, since they will share common feedline and relay
sequencer. If 1296 testing goes as planned, I will switch from 144
to 1296. July 4: 1500UTC - 1900UTC July 5: 1600UTC - 2000UTC and
July 6: 1700UTC - 2100UTC - More at: www.mmmonvhf.de/latest.php?id=1705

Greenland, OX. OZ1DJJ, Bo Christensen, tells The Daily DX he will
depart Denmark on July 9th and he will be heading back to Greenland,
where he will be QRV as OX3LX from grid locator GP60xr until July
23rd. While there he may try 2 meter EME and will definitely be on
50 MHz with a 4 element yagi running 100 watts. This will be a business
trip, so don't expect a 24/7 operation on this one. Plans are to
update his Web page in the next day or two - www.ox3lx.geronne.dk.

San Andres, HK0. Update. W5OZI, Pat, is the pilot station for 5J0M,
the six meter DXpedition to San Andres by K7BV, Dennis. Pat gives
us the following update on 5J0M. "Presently QRV but only with 100
watts. Amp problems due to rough handling at HK customs where they
unplugged some jumpers and maybe more. Dennis insists that this ACOM
has been completely reliable on many trips and that it is not an
ACOM fault. W1JJ is in contact with the ACOM factory in Bulgaria and
hopes to get some kind of fix to forward to Dennis. Another power
supply has gone bad since V36M, so he cannot operate HF and 6m at
the same time. Dennis has had only about 20 QSOs so far, all with NA.
N5BLZ was #1. He will move the beam every (approximately) half-hour
between EU and NA, and wants hams to call him even if they have
already worked him so as to give him an idea about band condx".
