Say "Hi" to Juno
NASA's Juno spacecraft will fly past Earth on October 9, 2013 to receive a gravity assist from our planet, putting it on course for Jupiter. To celebrate this event, the Juno mission is inviting amateur radio operators around the world to say "HI" to Juno in a coordinated Morse Code message. Juno's radio & plasma wave experiment, called Waves, should be able to detect the message if enough people participate. So please join in, and help spread the word to fellow amateur radio enthusiasts!
What does one do thats call sign ends with F ???

It appears they simply skipped "F" As the increment is .03454 MHz, "F" would be 28.17369 MHz.

This is pretty cool, I'll be in there sending, Does it have to be Hi Hi Hi Hi etc.? or something that can be heard better? I remember during my EME days the easiest thing to hear was the O O O report --- --- --- --- the three dashes stood out far more above the noise floor than anything else did,
