Saturdays your Sundays. 28.885 or 28.485. Ill listen for the VK6RWA beacon and have bought
a HyGain 10M yagi which Ill try to put up, it cost $25 at disposal sale. 73 de Steve Call

Large auroral display seen from aircraft last night at 1200 pm enroute to ANC airport.
CME event no doubt. No chance of getting antenna up at present as it is colder outside
than inside the freezer. Minus 20F or Minus 28 C take your pick. I can scratch the ice off
the lower window cell inside. The coax is brittle and the 6M and 10M beams too cold to
touch. KL7JF reports AU to Yellow Knife VE8 but no one on. We will now start to assess
propagation into KL7 if it exists in this cold hi! A Happy New Year to everyone from
Wasilla AK. Steve VK3SIX portable KL7 ( who would want to be permanent?)

Mark mail for my attention but only items pertaining to the AGM and UKSMG thanks not
propagation reports. Happy Xmas to all my UKSMG colleagues and I hope to be able to
provide you with a new country KL7, wouldn't that be a New Years Gift. We have packed and
unpacked the gear fifty times and have it down to $1000 excess baggage. Just joking. The
last painful thing I have done is lower the M2 11 el yagi to rest. God that thing is big
close to the ground. Last DX heard Sob Sob was a baseball game from KVZK TV on 59.750 FM
full sound full queting 4500 kM away. Where are all the KH8's, 5W1,s ZK1,s 3D2's that
would be available. If 5kw fm sound can go 4500 kM on 59 Mhz can you imagine where a 1kw
signal pointed at VK on 50 Mhz would end up. Thats the breaks. The 50.2 local 50.110
international attempt by several VK2 amateurs including VK2BA seems to be working although
a few die hards are still reticent about moving away from 50.110. Maybe the New Years
Resolution is to be gentlemen and be seen to be gentlemen in both our dealings with each
other, the rare dx and the non conformists.................... And you can fend for
yourself if it is a 9Y4 long path Hi!!!! 73 and see you on the magic band, if I can get
the rotor to work in the cold BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!! VK3OT/KL7 I think all
this has finally got to me see ya!!!!!!!!

Steve (VK3OT) your mail is bouncing hence this message. Yes, bring your slides to the
AGM we have made a slot for you! The Haven is only a small hotel so is probably fully

Happy Xmas everyone and please take note of the email address I will use from march 1st
1998. You could try John.Koutsky@MSB.Mat-Su.k12.ak.us for urgent news about Sandown
changes attention my wife Shirely Gregory after January 1st. The drop in the SF is not
unexpected and it comes with the territory, we have to have a respite, to relaz and lick
the wounds. So far this cycle as small as it is V73, YJ8, KH8 worked. FO8, 7J6, 3D2, FK8,
KH6 heard. All areas of JA worked and 200 QSO's made with that country and it hasnt even
really started. Lokks like we are on target for Europe next year, you just have to
convince most of the VK's that. See you all at the UKSMG bash in Feb along with my friends
and allies on 6M. Hope to give you all a good shot at KL7 on 6 and other bands. Stay tuned
for developments on station readiness, but hopefully should have a bit of grunt with pa
and antenna. Happy New Year from Steve VK3SIX//KL7 from 30/12/97 Dont forget phone is 907
373 5435 QSL is via VK3OT at this stage. Grid is BP51 or BP53 not too sure, will measure

the FO5DR beacon the previous day around the turn of the GMT day on 50.050. A phone number

Bob ZL4AAA has not been heard. I have his phone and fax numbers if required. I had a
long conversation on 50 Mhz with ZL2KT who tells me the inclusion of an ex Channel 0
tlater into Auckland on Channel 1 has decomated activity from that region. There have only
been one or two ZLs worked, the majority being ZL3. ZL2KT and ZL4TBN being the others.
ZL3ADT is EME capable I think. QRV from KL7 in 3 weeks. Will be on 28.885 with 4 el yagi

Bil AH8A was rousted up from 14.15 after we had 59.750 KVZK-TV in at 59 plus. Worked at
0330z in VK and V73. Countries active FK8, ZL, YJ8, KH8, V73, JA. Also heard KHON TV video
on 55.2390+ and another offset non ZL. The VK3OT/KL7 activity has been boosted by the
discovery a few hundred yards from my qth of a stockpile of long yagis from KLM ex the
USAF radar installations. Steve Tolley KL7AF runs a pretty good station from Wasilla with
which we might be able to work over the pole. This is the only medium on which I will be
posting news, as the news has been rejected by many EU stations who just dont believe it
is time to work VK yet, hoping that their salvation will be the 46 Mhz video.

559 at time, so was Es extension into VK3. Either DL or perhaps Malaysian. Can anyone
confirm. Malay bearing is same as DL here (305) 48.2396 maybe Malay, but I list 48.2604 as
100kW ARD in DL with nothing else within 2kHz. Multiple 49.750 video also copies at same

0200z Station ID C...K TV Channel 2. 59.750 FM sound. Music, dancing, shouting, foreign
langauge. Severe QRM from ZL TV E3. 0230z 55.2390 weaker NTSC and 2394 E3 not ZL ZL is
55.2396 2400. Any way we are probably on a wild goose chase with this. Most of the VKs
want to work interstate and clag up 50.110 so even if a rare dx station appeared they
would be swamped by local working. In the event of an opening I will call on 50.100 CW and
50.125 SSB as I am told that 125 is where everyone in US is listening. Good hunting
everyone. PS: Should be able to access 1 kW and 8 stacked 7 el yagis in KL7 this year.

FB on your reception Steve! PLEASE add your email address to your postings so we can
respond to you, hi! I RX 46.173MHz 700Hz tone on USB late last night here (not tonight)
for a few minutes beaming over the pole. Is this a valid QRG for VK/ZL Video? Not 100% of
it's validity due to some computer QRM, and a bad snow-storm in progress giving me heavy
QRN at the same time. -Ciao - Mike/ve9aa

After viewing great circle maps I am now convinced that the TV video being received
here is orginating from East Coast of the North American continent. The offset is a shade
low of 2500 on 2498 or 2499 diurnal drift. The bad news and good news about KL7. The bad
news is I have another ham 1000 metres from me also on 6M. The good news is he runs high
power intends to put up 8 7 el yagis and he has offered to cooperate. Ill take out a lotto

You read it here, as we cant seem to get anything published on the Internet New page.
The A2 TV on beam headings of 210 to 240 degrees appears to be originating from West
Africa. Does anyone know if any nation uses the US standard in that region? 55.2498 NTSC
55.2500 EIA 55.2390+ NTSC 210 degrees to 240 degrees from 0500z to as late as 0900z over
polar path and up centre of Atlantic. If it is going antipodal then it crosses the US East
Coast. I will not publish any more of this information unless I get a positive response
from someone. Steve VK3OT

To Neil. The 706 mark 2 is better out of band than even the FT650, I have logged
hundreds of outlets including the following in the past hour. 55.2498 A2-TV long path from
at least the US coast via 240 degrees with pronounced 60 hz sawtooth buzz. Also 55.2390+
offset 539. 55.2498 was up to 40 db over 9 and I taped at least an hour of it. It was an
active carrier ie. it has live video on it. The IC706 is a brilliant piece of snopping
equipment and portable as well. Can anyone help with the long path QSO attempt???

FT920 and an Icom 706 II in the shack end of Feb. Currently putting up ant's for a few
more bands. 17/30m vertical next up + a tower top inverted V for 12m... Spending 3 weeks

I cant believe VK's are being told to pull their heads in and not report the EU 48 Mhz
TV. If you wait for 46.240 and 46.172 reports before trying to work VK you are sadly
ignoring the other 4/5 of a million square kilometer country where there are no Channel 0
transmitters. VK8GF/VK5NC/VK1RX/VK2QF and VK3OT all had 48.250 plus/minus tonight and all
called on their own volition tonight. We all cant be that stupid!!!

Packing fort KL7. It would appear there could be a chance to work down into the Pacific in January and Feb 1998. Gear so far is ICOM706 Mark 2, (Brilliant rig) every bit as good and sensitive as the EME rig here, that's why W6JKV uses one on 6 and 2M EME. Could hear 49 TV every bit as good as FT650 and TS670S. Antenna will be N5JHV special courtesy of Mike Stahl. Much smaller suitcase needed to move gear. Note this and dont use until AFTER 1/1/98 Please. Grid BP51. Beacon VK3SIX/KL7 50.0535 Mhz. QSL Info; Steve Gregory HC33 Box 2966 Wasilla Alaska 99654 Phone +1 907 373 5435 QSX 28.885, 21.345, 14 Mhz EME liason channel also. Contacts available on Low bands on request. Antenna carolina Windom and G5RV to start.
