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!
