The largest Amateur radio meeting in Denmark, Amateur Meeting Fyn (referring to the Isl. of Fyn, abbreviation in Danish ATF) is Sunday the 2nd. 8.30 - 15.00 UT. The
UK Six Metre Group will be represented with a stand. This stand will be anned with
OZ3RE alias M1DUD Robin (which is flying in Saturday) and
OZ6OM. Besides representing the UKSMG, we will operate a station to "prove" Six meter is always open. So naturally we have to rely on JT6m: One sked is made at 12.00 UT with the "missing" team member
M3VCP / 2E0IAF Simon, who had to stay in UK. Otherwise we will work random round 50.236 MHz ± QRN with split TX to 50.230 while CQ´ing. We will TX 1st. period regardless direction. Call in use will be

The Willis Islands Group, Mid Isl. Thursday, October, 25th. Due to heavier winds to be expected on Monday we have to take down the complete camp tomorrow on Sunday October 26th and transport all equipment to the Floreat. That means that we will stop radio operation latest on October 25th at about 22:00z. We want to have a controlled shutdown and a secure trip back to Australia mainland for all members and all of the equipment. Therefore we have to leave earlier as planned. We will take part in the CQWW SSB Contest for the first 24 hours with three stations. The remaining stations will be still available for WARC operation. We did the last online log update for now. This includes all QSOs till 25.10.2008 00:00z (before the contest). We will put all QSOs to the online log when we are back home. More information will be available after our return to Australia.
