The West Coast Microwave Group of Sweden will make use of the 25.6m antenna at the Onsala Space Observatory just south of Gothenburg (JO57XJ) for 23cm EME on July 18/19. The call will be SK6OSO and we plan activity for two complete moon passes. The antenna is polar mounted and can track down to the horizon.

Further information to be announced here as we get closer to operation.

We would very much like to work a lot of well equipped terrestrial 23 cm stations. As the at horizon time for a particular location is time limited, we strongly urge also small first time EME stations to set up for being able to make use of elevation in order to track the moon. We will use circular polarization and therefore recommend marginal stations to use circular polarization in order to optimize the link budget.

We will use both CW and SSB, but no digital modes will be used.

We do hope to be able to work all the well established 23 cm EME stations duringthis weekend as well.
