Special event on HF

[KG4ULT]

Hello all,

I am writing this announcement for a local HAM group called R_O_D_E ARC. #Which stands for in spanish...Radio Operadores Del Este (Estern Radio Operators). #The group is based out of Fajardo Puerto Rico. #The same will be having a special event on HF as well as VHF local; from the house of x-governor Jesus T. Pinero. #This gentleman was not only a legislator, but also a governor and an avid amateur radio operator. #This will be the first time since years past that anyone has made any type of HAM communique from his home. #The home is located in Canovanas Puerto Rico.

The activity will be held on Saturday June, 9 2007 from 10AM until 2PM. #As of now, we will be active on all HF bands which have openings (specific frequencies will be posted prior to event). There will be multiple operators active on CW and SSB. #For further information, anyone can visit the following link...http://kp3re.tripod.com. Must use http in URL as (www) will not work. #If you have any questions feel free to email the moderator of the website at RODE_ARC@YAHOOGROUPS.COM.

Thank you..

Hope to hear you on the bands this Saturday

I hope the band is open tommorrow (6/09/007). I hit the Virgin Islands all the time on 14.319. Getting Puerto Rico should not be hard. Betreen my QTH on the Jersey shore near Atlantic City and Puerto Rico is nothing but The waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Well I listened but no joy, 20M was not that active before 14:00EDT (18:00UTC) I only heard a Italian station IV3WOC. I tried to contact that station but I could not bust the pile up. 20M is more active now at 19:30EDT (23:30UTC). Its possible that KP3RE was on the air but with a S8 noise floor I probily did not hear it.

Better Luck next time, Rick KC2ESD
