XV - Viet Nam - 14.11.23
Jacek, SP5APW will be active as 3W9C from Con Son Island (AS-130) from 30 November to 9 December. He is allowed to operate on five bands; he will use SSB and FT8 on 20, 17, 15 and 10m with wire antennas, and FT8 on 6 metres with a 3-element yagi. "I am not a CW operator", he says. "However, if somebody hates FT8 and wants to try CW with me, I should be able to manage it as a sked when there is no pile-up". His licence for 6m is limited to 53-54 MHz, so he plans to operate split: listening on 50.313 or 50.323 and transmitting on 53.313 or 53.323. I haven't tried yet to work FT8 with such a wide split, but this is the only option to try to work IARU Region 1. If it doesn't work, I will simply work 53.313 MHz for Regions 2 and 3, where the 6m band is wider".

"We normally give priority to the 160, 80, 40 bands in that order, but with the increased sunspot activity, we will establish band priorities based on conditions at that time".
