23-on-23+MAD

As September 23rd falls on a weekend (next Saturday), it provides the chance for [non-retired] operators to take full advantage of the extra time, and head for the hills to trial their /P station capabilities, investigate new paths and hopefully complete a contact with a new station or two that they wouldn't normally work from their home station.

It also, and more importantly provides the time and opportunity to activate other uWave bands and reduce the $:QSO for the investment made in our capabilities.

The recommendation for a 12noon start in July seems appropriate for the September 23-on-23+MAD, so here's a suggested schedule:
12:00pm (02:00z) - 02:00pm (04:00z) 23cm + 13cm SSB/CW only
1:00pm (03:00z) - 3:00pm (05:00z) 9cm and above uWave bands

For stations in SE VK4 liaison -
147.000 Repeater
40m - 7.150MHz (for those with /P HF capability)
Mobile/cell phone

For all participants -
VKLogger iChat '23&Above'
As a number of 23cm Plus operators choose not to participate in this forum, please let those who you know may be interested of the event and ask them to also share their plans. [hard to point the dish to someone if you don't know they're there!!]

However to allow others to plan their participation, could you please advise your interest, availability and any suggested enhancements to the schedule in this thread?

And once you've shared your intended /P location on here, most importantly update your /P profile on VKLogger to ensure that we know where you are!
