On the 23rd of March starting at 1800GMT the Great Alaska QSO Party goes
live.



This event will run until Sunday 24 March at 2359GMT.



This is a two part event with the HF portion happening in March. For the
latest information go to kl7yk.us/akqso.htm



Second port of the event will be in July, date not decided on just yet.
That second half will be the 50mhz and up portion.



HF will be on 10,20,30,40,80 and 160m using CW, SSB, PSK31 or RTTY. So
something for everyone.



Listen up on the 23rd of March for Alaskans calling CQ AK QSO Party! If
you need Alaska for your log this would be the event to try and get it.



Again the website will contain the latest information, the exchange at this
time is expected to be a simple serial number of the contact, call sign,
operators first Name and their Maidenhead Grid Square. We don't have
counties in Alaska. Join in the fun and lets make this first AK QSO Party
a great success!

FieldDay 2013; I would like to set up and demonstrate Satellite TVRO. I
will provide info as to satellite geosynchronous



orbits in Clarke Orbital Belt, transponder symbol rates,

FEC ratios, NPIDs, VPIDs, APIDs, MPEG2, MPEG4

compression formats, monthly satellite orbit re-syncing,

satellite antenna, LNBFs etc.





I think most would find interesting and informative.

Only a thought....
