KP2/WZ8D

John WZ8D scrive:

So bene che molti di voi non hano bisogno di KP2 in sei metri tuttavia vorrei far sapere che i dovrei essere li dal 9 al 16 Aprile. Non sono sicuro circa la possibilita' di essere attivo in modi digitali via Eme ma potrei anche essree in grado di tentare.... Avro' una 6 elementi yagi a 80 piedi con 400 watts ed un ic756Pro 3 come Driver.. Faro' attenzione per voi ragazzi della Florida tutti i giorni per contatti via scatter sperando in qualche vero salto di Es. Potrei anche essere in grado di lavorare il SA la notte via TEP. Dedichero' del tempo anche alle bande basse giocando principalmente in CW ma anche in ssb. Chiamate e dite ciao.. Noi saremo al QTH di KP2A QTH assieme a Joe W8GEX.. John KP2A sara' via tra ZL e Tonga per alcune settimane. Noi avremo l'incarico di nutrire le tartarughe ed il suo gatto. Tra l'altro anche John desidera collegare la sua stazione ogni giorno attraverso il Pacifico. Joe ed io possiamo fare questo... 73 ragazzi e speriamo di sentire alcuni di voi sulle bande...
