HELGOLAND - JO34 soon qrv on 144 MHz Meteorscatter
As you possible have seen, Thorsten, DG7TG, was several times qrv
at Helgoland (JO34WE) and did set up some Contest equipment from
there at 2m. He will be as well qrv from this place July 2008, 5th
until 6th in the 144MHz Contest as DL0RSH with 2x13 Element
Cuschraft und 400 Watt. Nowadays he is planning to activate these
rare Square as well during the PERSEIDS Shower in WSJT with 400 Watt
and 2x 13el or 1x 17el M2 as DL0RSH. Because every activity will
be done up to now as a single OP activity, Thorsten now search for
maybe a second OP to be qrv as much as possible over these long
Perseids Periode. By the way, all stuff have to be "hand carried"
to the island and always it has to be paid to the shipper on the
ferries... So watch out for more or later News at:
