In the enthusiasm to make the first transatlantic 2-way QSO, it is
easy to ignore other useful things that can happen this weekend.
Firstly, AMRAD will be doing receive tests from the North Carolina
coast, and this extends to Sunday night / Monday morning (Eu
time). They will want some Eu signals to listen/look for, even after
John and Jack have finished.
Secondly, it would be really useful for other Eu stations to make
comparisons of the signals they hear/see. I have found it very
helpful to see how my signal compares with others on a spectrogram.
Thirdly, this is a good opportunity for various Eu stations to record
how they receive VE1ZZ at what times, so we can see how
propagation varies.
Lastly, there is still time for someone to record (preferably as a
computer audio file) the first normal speed CW from VE.
This should keep many stations busy whilst the really big guys try
the two-way.
Have fun.
