Lance, W7GJ, wrote: "Further to my email a week ago, I have now updated my website and planned operating schedules for BOTH FO/A (as FO/W7GJ) next October and FO/M (as TX7MB) next November. All the airline tickets have now been purchased, the licenses received and the lodgings confirmed. Direct links to both these updated websites are here:

Degradation during the solo FO/A operation is slightly higher than optimum, but previous trips have demonstrated that those days should still be productive. In addition, the negative horizon in FO/A should provide good common moon windows just about everywhere, and some very low ground gain lobes when the moon is at or just below the horizon. I hope to be able to be QRV for 8 full moon passes. If I can stay awake during the late afternoons, I hope to be QRV for TEP in the event there is any such propagation that early in the year. The QTH in the Austral Islands looks like it may be situated favorably for TEP.
The operation from FO/M includes the best days of the month for EME, and I hope to be QRV for at least 9 full moon passes. KB7Q will also be joining me for the operation from the Marquesas. He will be operating on 2m EME and possibly 432/1296 if there is enough interest. Please direct any inquiries regarding those operations to KB7Q or check out his web page here:

I look forward to contacting you from each DXCC on 6m! If you are a horizon-only station in Region 2, we have many windows during your moonsets. Please just concentrate on calling when my moon is below 65 degrees elevation (shown on my Proposed Operating Schedules). Thanks for your interest and support!
GL and VY 73, Lance".
