Hello All: In case you do not know this, Mike and the EME guys are
part of a larger DXpedition that is working HF. Here is the website:
http://www.425dxn.org/dxped/p29_2008/ The latest update is Oct 27,
where Derek states the following: 27 Oct. Hi Maury, We left Garove
Saturday but the sea was rough and we sheltered inPeterhavn up on
the east coast of Garove. We set off at first light on Sunday but
have had a rough crossing and so decided to take a break off the
little island ofIlam to the south of Manus. We are here as I type
this. We plan to arrive at the Hermits early on Wednesday morning
local time (gmt+10). Hope to do some repair workon the multiband
verticals while we are here. 73 Derek Hope this answers some
questions about "when". 73, Al WA4EWV

Meantime the group arrived the second island at QI28: 10/29 22:52
P29NI is extremely weak. Took me one hr and ten mins to complete

Denmark, OZ. The largest Amateur radio meeting in Denmark, Amateur
Meeting Fyn (referring to the Isl. of Fyn, abbreviation in Danish
ATF) is Sunday the 2nd. 8.30 - 15.00 UT. The UK Six Metre Group
will be represented with a stand. This stand will be manned with
OZ3RE alias M1DUD Robin (which is flying in Saturday) and OZ6OM.
Besides representing the UKSMG, we will operate a station to
"prove" Six meter is always open. So naturally we have to rely
on JT6m: One sked is made at 12.00 UT with the "missing" team
member M3VCP / 2E0IAF Simon, who had to stay in UK. Otherwise
we will work random round 50.236 MHz ± QRN with split TX to
50.230 while CQ´ing. We will TX 1st. period regardless direction.
Call in use will be OZ50MHz, we are situated in JO55EI at the
southern part of Odense. SOURCE: 50 MHz DX News by OZ6OM
