GTDX - DXpeditions - 2003 Yap

Operating Plan


Manta Ray Bay Hotel (front)




Dates:

We will be on Yap from Sunday Nov. 23 through Saturday Nov. 29.

Operating Frequencies:

CW   3514, 7014, 10114, 14014, 18082, 21014, 24994, 28014
SSB  3800, 7075, 14260, 18125, 21295, 24940, 28495
        On 7075 listen up for US
        We will listen above 025 on CW for US Generals

We will work the highest band open and work 30, 40 and 80 at night Yap time 0730 to 1930 UTC.

Best times for Houston area:

15 Meters         230 to 530 PM CST
20 Meters         830 to 1000 AM CST, we will listen even though it is 100 AM in Yap
40 Meters         Midnite to 800 AM CST, expect best conditions before sunrise in W5

If 10M is open it will probably be in the mid afternoon Houston time.

Propagation is forecast to be good depending on any flare activity. If the flux goes to the forecast levels, 160 to 180, and the A and K indices are not out of sight we should have good conditions. Look for us on the higher bands if conditions are good.

We will be trying to contact the Labrats Ham Club at Redd Middle School on Monday the 24th between 3:30 and 4:00 PM Houston time on 21295.

Hope to talk to a lot of the Houston crew, look for us and post us if you hear us!

Thanks, Cal V63WC and Paul V63PF
