Chris,

that's one of the reasons why the team choose to work with Tim again.
The perfect service and the great looking QSL cards of ON5UR is a great combination.

Have a nice weekend.

After extensively studying propagation we decided to buy a 5 element 28Mhz yagi to work USA more easily from EP/Iran. It's our goals to give the hams in W6/W7 area a fair chance to get in the log on 10M. Clublog doesn't show 1 QSO with EP in January on 10M. We will be happy to change that.
Sure it will help many JAs for a new bandpoint as well.

I take the opportunity to thank the guys who made a donation a made it possible to buy and transport the hardware to Iran.

73s and merry Xmas from the EP6T team.

Is there much common daylight between EP and W6

10m could be tricky,

With a solar flux index of 200 and a k index of 2 there is a chance from 1530 to 1630z for Arizona.

Long path has a chance from 1500z to 2200z

Since I have EP on 20M CW and SSB - I will sit this one out and give others their chance for an ATNO. Funny how I don't care at all for band mode slots any more - besides maybe just one CW and one SSB Q.

Good luck to those who need it for an ATNO!

Thats the way to do it Rich, just like the old days, one Q on CW and one Q on Phone with an insurance contact (not needed now with online logs) and you are done.
I can't tell you how many 2 contact DXCC Entities I have.

Thankfully I've worked Ep on 20 CW so I won't be in this mess!

Thursday morning, three years after our first contact in Iran, members of the Rockall Dx Group will be leaving Brussels at 12 o’clock local time. Flying to Teheran (via Moscow) where we have to change airport for the domestic flight to Kish Island AS-166. We have 30 fully packed suitcases filled with radio equipment and antennas. Radios will be carried as hand luggage which leaves about 6 kg of personal stuff for each operator.

We expect arrival on Kish island January 16th early morning. As soon as we have approval from the local police we can start building antennas. Priority will be lowband TX. 40m four-square and Hexbeams setting up the equipment in the shack is planned after sunset. EP6T will probably be going on air early morning of January 17th, but remember that we have not been sleeping for 36 hours at that time! Lowband RX antennas and 10m yagi will go up during the next day. We will be off air for a few hours to finish the station setup.

There will be two groups of 5 people operating in 4 hour shifts, around the clock. Again we want to ask people in Europe and Asia for your cooperation when we have propagation to North America, since this is the most difficult path on all bands. Listen to the operators instructions, and we will all be enjoying the pile ups.

There has been some deliberate QRM on 80 meters during the last months, the EP6T operators are aware of this, so turn your VFO away from the QRM and maybe you will find us calling a little bit below or above our announced frequency.

On Top Band we may be listening 1803 – 1810 for NA if EU/AS signals are causing too much trouble. Again, listen to the operators instructions.

We would like some signal reports from NA on 10 and 160m. Please send these reports via ep6t@rockall.be so we can adjust according to propagation openings. We will have daily updates from our pilots. If you want to know the best time to work us, use the link to K6TU on our website. When we have internet access you will find pictures, updates and the online log as well. Don’t forget the donate button which gives you a free QSL card for your QSO with EP.

Social media is covered by Bjorn, ON9CFG, twitter #EP6T and on Facebook.

We would like to say a big “THANK YOU” to Dr Fard, Mrs. Mortazavi and our assistants in Iran helping us getting EP6T on air, without them this expedition would not be possible.

The Rockall Dx Group

Very nice.  Looking forward to getting on the radio once again.  I took a break after 1AØC.

How many of you need EP for an ATNO?

I need EP for an ATNO. I'll be happy with one QSO. If opportunity presents itself for more than one QSO I'll try but at this point one is good enough. I've worked most/all the countries surrounding Iran so I imagine with time I should be able to get through.

I'm hoping to gorge myself on Navassa, but one QSO from EP will be plenty.

Yeah right.  I'm sure you will sweep EP on all bands like you did on 7O2A.
