World ATV QSO Party - Saturday 22 August
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2015 12:17 pm
The world ATV QSO Party will be looking for contacts in Britain and the Continent.
The event is based in Melbourne Australia with the local anchor being Peter VK3BFG. Time differences mean the opportunity for British or Continental stations to participate will be during the morning and early afternoon of Saturday August 22. This will coincide with an evening sked local time in eastern Australia.
Peter has access to GB3HV, but is looking for other amateurs elsewhere to participate. The best option is for stations to transmit through their local repeaters with one 'anchor' station making a Skype connection to Peter VK3BFG. This is how the QSO Party works earlier in the day (Melbourne time) with Art W8RMC in Columbus Ohio and Don KE6BXT in Mission Vieaja California. Signals are distributed to Repeaters WR8ATV, W6ATN, VK2RFM, VK2RTV,VK3RTV, VK4RMG and VK5RDC.
Stations wishing to participate can Skype to name 'datvqsoparty ' . Peter will then distribute the incoming signal, act as liason and then send signal back from other repeaters. Skype is mainly used as the conduit between repeaters or individual stations and repeaters.
Additional US stations would be welcome.
If you are able to participate, please send an email to Peter VK3BFG at pcossins@bigpond.com. 73 Peter VK3BFG Convenor
