<H1>VK100WIA on 23cm EME</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The Special Event Callsign <STRONG>VK100WIA</STRONG> will
be activated on 23cm (1296 MHz) moon bounce on July 4-6.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>As part of the <STRONG>Wireless Institute of
Australia</STRONG>'s centenary celebrations, The special event callsign of
VK100WIA will be in use. Special event QSL cards will be sent to all amateurs
that have a QSO with VK100WIA.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The Orange and District Amateur Radio Club will be using
this callsign on 23cm EME from Dave - VK2JDS's QTH QF46pv between 4th and 6th
July 2010. This is obviously a very limited activation of this unique
callsign.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>We would like to encourage all stations able to operate EME
to try and work the station.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Operation will be in CW and JT65C modes with spots on the
HB9Q logger and the usual dx clusters when active. Please note that due to the
callsign length limitations in WSJT65C, we will be able to use VK100WIA when
CQ'ing, but during the actual QSO we will use vkCwia (with C being the roman
numeral for 100).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>If you would like to arrange a sked, please contact me via
moon-net or direct to my email address </FONT><A
href="mailto:vk2jds@hotmail.com"><FONT
face=Tahoma>vk2jds@hotmail.com</FONT></A><FONT face=Tahoma>. We will be active
roughly from moon rise to moon set UTC 4th, 5th and 6th July 2010.</FONT></P>
