Hello dear VE friends.

 

Of course, I'll be QRV the two nights for this CW crossband event, using here :

Good luck and a lot of fun !

 

Andy.

Subject: LF: 630m Crossband Event

 

Next weekend, both Friday and Saturday night,

will see another annual '630m activity event'.

 

As well as many of the experimental stations that will be active, there will

be five Canadian amateurs that will be looking for two-way CW crossband

contacts on HF listening (QSX) frequencies. The VE stations will be

transmitting on 630m but listening on their respective QSX HF frequencies

for U.S. and Canadian CW callers. Last year's event ran for only one night

since it conflicted with the CW SS, but it was moved back one weekend to

allow the crossband activity to run on both nights this year. Last year was

highly successful with many crossband contacts being made, some from

coast-to-coast.

 

Although not yet a 'ham band' in the U.S.A. (coming soon!), Canadian hams

have had access to the band for well over a year now.

 

Here is the schedule for the Canadian crossbanders:

 

Station: VO1NA (Joe) GN37 Torbay, Newfoundland

Time: 2130Z - 0130Z both Friday night (Nov 13-14Z) / Saturday night (Nov

14-15Z)

TX Frequency: 477.7 kHz

RX (QSX) Frequency: 3562 kHz

 

Station: VE7SL (Steve) CN88 Mayne Island, B.C.

Time: 0200Z - 0700Z both Friday night (Nov 14Z) / Saturday night (Nov 15Z)

TX Frequency: 473.0 kHz

RX (QSX) Frequency: 3566 / 7066 kHz

 

Station: VE7BDQ (John) CN89 Delta, B.C.

Time: 0430Z - 0700Z both Friday night (Nov 14Z) / Saturday night (Nov 15Z)

TX Frequency: 474.0 kHz

RX (QSX) Frequency: 3536 kHz

 

Station: VA7MM (Mark) CN89 Coquitlam, B.C.

Time: 0500Z - 0700Z Friday (Nov 14Z)

0400Z - 0800Z Saturday (Nov 15Z)

TX Frequency: 475.0 kHz

RX (QSX) Frequency: 3570 kHz

 

Station: VE7CNF (Toby) CN89 Burnaby, B.C.

Time: 0300Z - 0700Z both Friday night (Nov 14Z) / Saturday night (Nov 15Z)

TX Frequency: 476.0 kHz

RX (QSX) Frequency: 3558 kHz / 7062 kHz

 

All stations will either call CQ or run "VVV"

marker beacons while listening on their respective

QSX frequencies. QSX frequencies will be included

in the CQ or marker beacon.

 

 

I will send a 'reminder' again on Friday morning. It would really be great

to see a lot of crossband activity ... we are all eager to work as many

stations as possible and hope you can check-in on either (or both) nights.
