Separate frequencies are allocated to each participating station, as summarised in the following table: FREQUENCY SCHEDULE FOR TRANSPAC TESTING FREQUENCY STATION LOCATION kHz 137.7898 ZL6QH Near Wellington 182.000 ZL3VN Christchurch SIGNAL FORMATS ZL6QH will send QQQQQ... with dual frequency CW, using plus and minus 0.2 Hz shift, 120 second dot length. Q will be encoded as 137.7900, 137.7900, 137.7896, 137.7900 kHz, and then a 120 second gap before starting the next Q. The ten minute sequences will be nominally synchronised with the hour (there could be some minor slippage in the control software). ZL6QH will transmit from well before ZL sunset to well after ZL sunrise, which is approximately over the period 0700 to 1800 UTC on 1 December. ZL2VN will send ZL3VN ZL3VN ... with single frequency QRSS CW, using 3 second dot length, for a 30 minute period, then send VN VN ... using 20 second dot length. Sequences will nominally commence on the hour and half hour. Reception reports can be emailed to vernall@xtra.co.nz or else posted to the reflector. Good luck to all prospective listeners. 73, Bob ZL2CA
