The primary goal of this trip \nis to activate the state of Oklahoma on the AO-7(B) pass at my AOS of \n17:58:26UTC for any interested European stations chasing their Oscar \nCentury award. One of the most common requests I get from operators on \nthe other side of the Atlantic is to go /P from Oklahoma, as it seems to \nbe a rarely heard state on domestic Satellite passes, let alone passes \nwith large DX footprints. The other big reason Oklahoma is rarely heard \nis that the distances involved make most of the state out of range to \nall but the highest passes of FO29 and AO7. With this in mind, the AO7 \npass on Sunday provides a rare mutual footprint between Northeast OK and \nmost of western Europe. The weather appears to be good, and I've got a \nspot I've operated successfully from before, so I'm going to try and \nreturn the favor to my DX friends, and get something on their list \nchecked off.\n\nAs a request to the community, can I ask that high power stations, or \nstations operating CW on AO7 please refrain from hitting the transponder \nfrom 1758 UTC until 1803 UTC on Sunday unless you're specifically \nchasing something. I do not run much power when operating /P, and AO7 is \na finicky bird as it is, so I'd like to maximize the number of stations \nI can work in the 5 minute window I'll have. I plan on operating on top \nof the 'high spot' in the passband around 145.940, and I will be staying \nput and calling CQ to maximize the number of works who can work me. \nThis location in Oklahoma is well outside my 200km range for awards, so \nI've got nothing to gain here except helping folks out. That said, I \nthink everyone knows what I can do with an arrow on a mountain, and I \nwould be really jazzed to hand out a rare Oscar Century Contact to a \nbunch of folks a long ways away. Thank you in advance for your \nconsideration of this request :)\n\nFor everyone else not 7000km away, I'll be active on all birds from both \nEM24 and EM25 in both Arkansas and Oklahoma most of the weekend. If \nthere's a specific grid or state you're after, feel free to shoot me an \nemail or tweet me @KG5CCI.\n\nThanks, Good Luck, and 73!\n\n-Dave, KG5CCI\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
