GB3VHF closedown new moves by the RSGB
Chris, G0FDZ, did receive a letter from the GM at RSGB HQ stating
that the Board has asked him to enter into discussions with the site
owner, with regard to seeking the possibility of a more realistic
site rental for GB3VHF. This is good news indeed and I have been
asked that until discussions are completed that I keep GB3VHF on
the air. This I am happy to do and I am grateful that the Board has
intervened on this matter. Have a look at MMMonVHF FORUM:

Hello! Mike has put together some thoughts about his recent EME
DXpedition to P29, and I have put them up on my website so you can
read about his adventu www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/P29NOTES.doc
Mike did a great job under very adverse circumstances. He was
stronger here on 6m EME than he was on 2m, but I was very pleased
to contact him on both bands. I can't imagine how he had the energy
to single handedly undertake EME on 2 bands at once! I think Mike
needs a vacation now! Thanks for sharing the notes about the trip
with us, Mike! VY 73, Lance

SPORADIC E in the southern hemisphere
As you might have been seen in past weeks we did build up a new
SPORADIC E Service page as well for the southern hemisphere where
the summer (and so sporadic e) will occure hopefully soon. PLEASE
have a look at: http://www.mmmonvhf.de/es_s.php and use the input
at these page for an opening in the SOUTH. The switch between the
both areas are made in the drop down menue at PROPAGATION...
MMMonVHF is trying to give an overview of Sporadic E on other
continents than Europe and is asking to send reports of Sporadic E
openings that occured on 144 MHz worldwide!

Chris, SP7DCS, plan to be qrv during the contest on 2m, 70cm and
23cm CW random unassisted. Last weeks I was working to get 70cm system
running. My 4 yagi array is up again with repaired preamp and TX line.
Old 250W PA has been retired and I want to try new 400W SSPA for the
first time. I do hope it will work as I had no opportunity to test
everything together before. I will change bands depending on activity
level and conditions, but as I have TVI problems on 70cm I will on
this band mostly during the night. SOURCE: Chris SP7DCS via MoonNet
