Hi all,

It is reasonably fine weather in Wellington today so there is little doubt
that ZL6QH will be able to be set up on LF and transmitting from before ZL
sunset (approx 0800 UTC) until after ZL sunrise (approx 1700 UTC) on
Saturday.

The dual frequency tones will be 137.7890 (hi) and 137.7886 (lo) kHz.  These
frequencies are 1 Hz lower than those used for the previous test, and give
better separation from Loran lines received in Europe.

The ZL6QH transmission has the format QQQQ... sent as hi, hi, lo, hi, gap,
with 120 second dot length, 0.4 Hz shift.

It takes 10 minutes to send each Q.  Timing will be such that the first
element of a Q will be on or close to the hour

If the LF path is open to VE7, a cross-band LF/HF contact could be attempted
with VE7SL, with the likes of 20 second dot length, around 1500 UTC, after
which 120 second dot sending would resume.

73, Bob ZL2CA
