OK Graham.
Well, so I’ll be active from 0700z to 1300z RXing OPERA on the 3
bands.
For info, I’ll test this evening Friday 13 March OP4 on 1836, begining on
day time at 1600z to the sunrise morning nest day. RXing and beaconing timeout
X5 (about each 20 minutes). 5 Watts in my 25 m center loaded
vertical.

Thanks Andy
Thinking aloud , you may be too far south for
the TF3 path on 477 , Finbar EI0CF will be
sending on 477 , [Ideally placed ] , I intend
to TX also on 477 ,
Hopefully on the 1000 mile arc
from TH3 , 477 tx stations
from PA - LA - SM zones would be ideal
...
That puts your location , best placed for
the 200/300 Miles shorter southern
skip ?
There is no central control as
such for Opera , but the 3 band Rx would
perhaps be the most valuable option ?
Noting, Top band being perhaps the next
in line interims of measurable effect , that would
provide the Russian Top band users, a well placed
monitoring point as well as any more
local activity from Uk or EU etc
If you take that option Andy , that covers
the 477 band North TH3HZ and South Rx,
yourself, quite well , additional Rx
stations in the shorter ranges would complete
the monitoring requirements ?
Thanks

Hello
Graham.
I want to
participate to the OPERA test during the morning
of Friday 20 March 0800z to
1200z.
But I have 2
choices. Please tell me what is the best one for you ?
1.
I can transmit,
but only one one band, 630, 160 or 80 meters ;
2.
Or, I can
receive on the 3 bands at the same time. After the event, I’ll send all the
OPERA reports by Internet using any file format (txt, xls,
pdf.....).
I hope that
many stations be active for this event.
Best
73.
