[MiQP-Mail] Hit the High Bands!

[Hank Greeb]

Hi, Gary:

Look for N8Q from NEWA on 20, 15, and 10 at the appointed hours.  The 
recommendations are to "Look for 28 MHz activity during the 
even-numbered daylight hours, and 21 MHz activity during the 
odd-numbered daylight hours. Look for SSB activity on the hour and CW on 
the half hour"  I'll try to make it for at least 5 to 10 minutes at each 
of the appointed times.

21 MHz has been open for QRPers during daylight, and some activity even 
reported on 28 MHz, so look for N8Q at the appointed hours until about 
2200Z, when I'll switch to 80 and 40 as primary bands.  Dig down into 
the noise, because I'll be running only 5 watts to a dipole antenna, 
somewhat near the suggested calling frequencies but not eggzacktly on 
them because we're supposed to be kind to mobiles who will be calling on 
those frequencies.

p.s. Will there be another Azirona QSO party on the 2nd weekend of 
October?   I missed the one in 2009 because my wife was recovering from 
surgery.  If it's a "go" for this year, I'll put it in my calendar to 
publicize it locally.
