FYI...
This just appeared on the MoonNet list and I thought that if any of you have decent setups on 1296 you might like to try and hear something coming back off Oscar 1 :)
I'm certainly going to try! regards

Gentlemen In order to supplement the EoA activity on the following days there will be a 'Net - check in' fun event conducted at the times indicated below. This week Friday Saturday and Sunday.
The main mode will be SSB but anybody on CW is also encouraged to join. There will be many very loud stations (big goo) which should be readable on modest antennae.
The frequency chosen is 1296.025 .. your transmit frequency
I (VK3UM) will run the OC > EU "skeds" and Joe or Jay (K1RQG K5JL) will run the NA > OC The EU > NA may be run by PI9CAM or HB9MOON .. someone will do it for sure.
There will be a heap of special calls in use as well. W1M = K1RQG W5J = K5JL K5J = K5SO N0O = N0OY W1O = K2DH K0C = K0YW so save the totally predictable debate of 'is that a new initial' ? until later !!! Its going to be hard enough to understand the accents without changing call signs as well !!
NA = NORTH AMERICA OC = OCEANIA EU = EUROPE
NA > OC STARTING JUNE 26 AT 0100Z OC > EU STARTING JUNE 26 AT 0930Z EU > NA STARTING JUNE 26 AT 1900Z
NA > OC STARTING JUNE 27 AT 0130Z OC > EU STARTING JUNE 27 AT 1100Z EU > NA STARTING JUNE 27 AT 2000Z
NA > OC STARTING JUNE 28 AT 0200Z OC > EU STARTING JUNE 28 AT 1200Z EU > NA STARTING JUNE 28 AT 2030Z
Come on or just listen. It is intended as a fun activity to support EoA . There will be many big guns on and you could be very surprised at what you will hear.
