<UL>
<LI>We'll be <B>emphasizing</B> our operation on this band, it will be a new
one for most 6 m operators. The Sporadic E season has started and we are
hopeful we have chosen a good time frame.
<LI>The set up consists of a 7 element Yagi on the top of six storey building,
IC-7000 radio and an amplifier.
<LI>We will be QRV 6m when the band is open.
<LI>Frequency is 50.103 for both cw/ssb, although it may be changed, depending
on local noise/birdies. Split operation will be deployed when needed.
<LI>Main mode is CW. If band conditions permit, SSB mode will be used to gain
a higher QSO rate. Please do not ask for mode changing.
<LI>Please avoid <B>QSO duplication</B>, give others a chance. Logs will be
uploaded twice a day to our site.
<LI>Long haul contacts are rare and last for a short period. If multi-hop
event happens the operator will give it special attention.
<LI>Grid locator is: <B>KM71oq</B>. Please, <B>DO NOT send your locator</B>,
it is not needed and we won't log it anyway, it wastes precious time.
<LI>Whenever it's possible, and while the band remains closed, the station
will be beaconing on the same frequency. If you listen our beacon , feel free
to send a SMS giving your Grid locator to the GSM number that we'll announce
later.
<LI>QSL is via EA5RM </LI></UL></BODY></HTML>
