It is just over a week before we head down to the farm for some on air fun in the CQ WPX SSB contest. Not all team members can make it for the weekend so we will be putting on single band entries in the contest, using the club calls MW9W and MC0SHL (Oli MW0JRX and Chris G1VDP) possibly on 40 and 80M. If any other members arrive we will then look at other bands and again do single band entries with alternative call signs.

Not only will we be taking part in the contest but we are going to have a station dedicated to 30M digital modes before and after - and maybe during if any member who is free wants to have a go. Chris G1VDP is going to put Wales on the air on 30M RTTY and PSK63/125. As you all know Chris enjoys his digi modes and has looked at the activity from Wales on the 30M band, and he sees that it is still a quite wanted DXCC on this band.

He plans to be active on the Thursday night on RTTY, look aroung 10148 for him calling CQ. If the pile up gets too big he will operate split listening 1 - 2KHz down. If there is enough demand he will also try PSK63, and PSK125. Again these 2 modes are under utilised from Wales.

If you want to arrange a sked please e-mail Chris G1VDP at the address in the contacts page.

Good luck and we hope to see you on the screen.
