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.

 

Andy F6CNI – JN19QB.
