" This is just a reminder that in***ONLY FOUR WEEKS***from today, I will leave on my next 6m EME DXpedition - this time to La Dique Island in the distant Seychelles Islands. All the details are on my web page here:
http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/Seychelles%202019.htm
Yesterday, I purchased the ferry tickets to and from La Dique Island, finishing all the transportation arrangements. The planned operating schedule is shown on the revised links on the above web page. I hope to be QRV on 6m EME by my moonrise at 2045Z on Saturday September 21. I plan to install the antenna just shy of 24' above the ground, which allows me to elevate to 65 degrees. Please note that my moon gores higher than 65 degrees after September 25, so I probably will not be QRV on EME during those periods. Hopefully I will have worked the Region 1 and Region 3 stations before then anyway Of course, Region 2 stations will only have a common moon window near my moonset (except for KL7 and KH6, which I hope to work during my moonrise when the moon finally rises above the mountain to my northeast).
Today I finished refitting all the 6M8GJ element mounting clamps for #10 stainless steel hardware and engraved them all with identifying codes and the colors of the elements that go into them:

Further details about these modifications can be found at the bottom of this page:
http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/6M8GJassembly.htm
In the coming days, I will be hooking up all the equipment, testing it, and then moving it directly into the suitcases for transit with me to S79. I urge you to carefully read the S79GJ DXpedition webpage and the referenced links for information on how to contact me. Please note that, because of the very limited common moon windows, I will be giving priority to North American stations as soon as their moon rises. Further updates will be made to the above web page, as well as posted to the Magic Band EME email list.
I hope to give many of you an ATNO on 6m! GL and VY 73, Lance
