This weekend, there is the greatest opportunity yet to make the
transatlantic two-way.

I would like to suggest some procedures to maximise that
opportunity and minimise mutual QRM. Please feel free to point out
any flaws in my argument.

As far as possible, continuous beaconing should be avoided,
especially if another station is operating near to you.

Transmission slots to be 15 minutes: VE1ZZ transmits from 00 and
30 minutes past the hour, Eu stations transmit from 15 and 45
minutes past the hour. Send just your own callsign and wait for Jack
to identify you. If a QSO happens, all other stations to stop
transmitting.

There is a frequency plan at http:www.lf.thersgb.net/transatlantic.htm
using the sub-band 135.9-136.0kHz. This includes the Loran
frequencies for the Canadian end. It is intended for guidance only,
but it will probably help the chances of success if we make an effort
to avoid each other. It will also help John/Jack/Larry and the
AMRAD team to know which frequency to find what station. Please
e-mail me any updates.

If it helps, I can post telephone numbers on that web page, too (they
can be removed after the event).

I will post a separate message reminding QRSS novices of
procedures.

Good luck!
