>>> FIRST TRANSATLANTIC 2M CONTACT <<<
Beginning on 26 June and continuing until 4 July, two groups of amateurs will
attempt to make the first transatlantic 2-way contact on 144 MHz and win the
Brendan Trophies (http://www.irts.ie/brendan.htm). The group in Scotland (led
by Bill Ward, GM0ICF) will be signing 2S0ICF/p from the lighthouse at
Ardnamurchan Point, while the group in Canada (led by Paul Piercey, VO1HE)
will be signing VO1AA from Cabot Tower, the site where Marconi received the
first transatlantic signal in 1901. They will operate on +/- 144.075 MHz at
15-18 wpm CW. One station will call the other for a 15 minute period then, if
no contact is made, the other station will call for 15 minutes. All on-air
operations will be recorded electronically. Operating times will be between
12.00 and 20.00 UTC daily for the entire period, but most likely not the
entire 8 hours per day. "We encourage stations on both sides of the Atlantic
to join us in this attempt", Paul (VO1HE) says, "either to make contact with
us or give us propagation reports". You can send your reports to Paul at
vo1he@rac.ca [TNX VO1HE]

bureaucratic problems prevented the operators from starting the activity
before 17 (local time) on 19 June. Eventually they were allowed to operate on
40, 20 and 15 metres with 100 watts from the Centre de Stage et Formation
Continue located on Jerba. QSL via I5JHW either direct (Giovanni Bini, Via
Santini 30, 51031 Agliana - PT, Italy) or through the bureau.
