jerome, F4DXV, will be operating from a 1500M summit in JN15jo on Monday, 19 October at 2000UTC on RS-44 specifically for North America. The operation has been planned around the coverage of this specific pass such that much of eastern North America will have an excellent chance for a contact with this rare grid.
Unless RS-44 is dead, which it appears to be. :-(
I'd finally gotten my station all set up for a contact today, and never heard the beacon. Looking at the status page, I was not the only one.
(I was also thwarted on an AO-7 pass just a bit earlier due to it being in mode A.. such is life.)
