Wow that was not pretty but we made it. Audio was warbly on my side. Congrats! Log as W8LR not /R

EM75,76,85,86,88,78 schedules have been completed. Let me know if you need any of these grids today (for return trip). Unless I am contacted for a sked I will not be activating these grids over the next few days. Some need EM96 & I will try to activate - no guarantees.

Last passes EM67/EM77.

EM87/EM88 KY. Last passes for these.

Please answer: I need EM96

Quiet pass...

Due to lack of need for EM85/86 TN. Based on no answers when on the birds and no more skeds I will not be on for a few days until my return trip. At that time I will activate only EM78/88 unless someone contacts me for EM75,76. I am planning on being in EM96 in two weeks.

EM96 NC. If you need this grid please contact me at [email protected]

EM67,75,76,77,85,86 contacts are uploaded to LOTW. "paperwork" below.

Just the right amount of heat for supper 🤣🤪

Following on from the sad announcement that Kirsti, VK9NL has passed away, we just received these pictures of her operating back in the day from Jim Smith's (VK9NS) son, Bruce G3HSR.

Preliminary outlook for EM96 is not promising for possible passes while I am there. It seems that 20:00z is when I will begin operations on Sept. 14. Mountains will limit me to only a few passes. EU will have one chance and NA will be hard. If you need me let me know.

I will be on my mobile Echolink when in EM96 on Sept 14 if all works well. If you need to get in touch with me search W8LR in users to connect.

EM96 North Carolina Sunday Sept. 14/15 is a "go" reservations confirmed but operational site is going to be difficult as I had suspected. Preliminary passes will be posted in a few hours.
