"Around Poland" VHF dxpedition - WET squares event

After a week of "Around Poland VHF dxpedition" activity on the mainland squares, a special event is planned :-) 

Luckily convinced Mek, he should go sailing, and voila! 

Donors list updated - THANK YOU for your generous support !

First EVER 70MHz activity from 

WET squares 

JO85xa and JO95aa

This event is scheduled for weekend July 25th - or 26th as we are limited by weather, more info TBA later.

Each square will be activated for 5 full hours, so full day sail is scheduled, adding 2+2 hours for sailng forth and back.

 

Fishermen's boat "HARPUN", already checked by Mek, with 230V power for SSPA on board :-) antennas will be attached at the back, both 3 ele YU7EF for 6m , and 2x2el (wide angle) for 70MHz.

Temporary shack for 6 and 4m equipment, and operating place.

Some of You already worked DL guys on 6m (DL3BQA / LY2AAM and Co.) on their way back home from one of their Baltic VHF expeditions, but certainly none of You worked theses squares on 70MHz.

To make this happen, we are seeking your help. 

 Previously we never asked for it.

 But renting a boat for whole day sail, is unfortunately quite expensive. 

Overall costs of renting this boat for full single day event on the Sea will exceed 500 Euros.

If You want to help with this special event please consider ANY donation.

Donors callsigns will be updated here on the page. 

"Around POLAND" VHF dxpedition

I am honoured to present another project of Mek SP7VC and Kasia SQ7OYL for this VHF Summer.

Because of COVID-19 restrictions and problems with traveling around EU, and other safety reason his previously planned for the Summer Iceland 2020 Tour has to be postponed.

But as unsettled soul, instead of Iceland, Mek planned some other domestic activity - with hope that many of You will work missing gridsquares in Poland on 50MHz and 70MHz.
In addition activity on 3 & 6cm band via RS is possible.

Multiband equipment with 50/70MHz YU7EF Yagis, 9el Yagi for 2m and 60cm dish for 3&6cm, and reliable equipment IC7300 / IC-9700 / FT-847 / FT-290+trsvt and SSPA's will be used with SSB, CW, FT8, MSK144, possibly dualband same time where possible.   

Look at the map below, and note in Your calendar dates interested for You.

July 19 from JO92, JO82, JO72, JO73, JO74,
