On Sunday, September 13, the large dish in Dwingeloo (25 m diameter) will be active during the ATV contest. It is only possible to receive because it is not allowed to transmit with the dish below 10 degrees elevation. With the enormous gain of this dish, not only the large, but also the small stations get the chance to create a nice, sharp picture in Dwingeloo, of which a photo is also made and sent on request. It will be received under the call PI9CAM and the operators are Jan PA3FXB and Jaap PA0T. We are qrv at 70cm, 23cm and 13cm. And DATV is also possible, also at 2 meters.
Due to the Corona regulations, the dish can only be used for four hours and we are therefore only available qrv from 8:00 - 12:00 local time on Sunday morning (6:00 - 10:00 GMT).
Unfortunately, QSO cannot be made via 2 meters due to the aforementioned transmission ban. We use the internet application DXSpot, see https://dxspot.batc.org.uk/. Creating an account is necessary, do this in time. During these four hours you can also communicate via Whatsapp with telephone number 06 86875497.
Corona rules may be tightened, causing the event to be canceled. We will make this known in time.
For any questions or skeds: Jaap PA0T (jaap.last@ziggo.nl) or Jan, PA3FXB (jvm@netvisit.nl).
