EME News Update
six eme de YJ0....
Leon (NJ6P) and Phil (W6UC) will be available during the DXPedition moon rise through moon set. We have been granted use of a private beach area with good visibility into the skies and away from "city slickers" on the Island.
We have made some small changes to the equipment..
-
Replaced FTDX-3000 for the FT-857 in order to reduce weight
-
8 Elem Yagi of the W7GJ lineage which has been used successfully by other DXPeditioners
-
21ft custom built lightweight mast built by Phil (W6UC) at his Bakersfield manufacturing facility
-
Elevation will be via the very simple design of Lance (W7GJ) found on his website
-
We are taking a substantial amount of LMR600
-
We will be using an EB 104 amp with 1500 watts of power if needed.
-
We are planning on using the latest version of WSJTX for software and using the Lance DX format. This will help accommodate more than one caller at a time so "Don't be bashful!"
-
During the first 3 days we will have the best of conditions so "get in" and "get in the log".
​
The DXObsessed team welcomes all callers any time!! Thank you and see you from the Volcanic, "shake rattle and roll" Island of Vanuatu!!
