3D2Y - Rotuma - 10.11.24
6 meter terrestrial and eme plans. The team plans are "to make every effort to hand out as many 6 meter QSOs as possible". The team will arrive on
Rotuma on 15 November, and will be on the air through 3 December.
"6m EME operations will be captained by Don, N1DG, and all of our EME operators will be remote. Our 6 meter EME schedule will be published in advance. Working EME with a small team DXpedition is a challenge, by utilizing our remote team we can leverage their expertise resulting in a much better opportunity to make as many EME contacts as possible.
6 meter terrestrial operations will be manned by a mix of local and remote operators. We will monitor PSK Reporter and the ON4KST Chat room for openings. We are able to receive notifications of potential openings in realtime. Our primary terrestrial FT8 frequency of operation on 6 meters is 50313. We will QSY as needed".
The DXpedition is dedicated to the memory of Bob Allphin, K4UEE (SK 10 February 2024), "the most prolific DXpedition leader of our generation". See https://rotuma2024.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/61560596036650 for updates.
