Sunday October 23rd will see the next 23-on-23 MAD for 2016.
I'm getting in early so hopefully a more few stations will be able to plan their /P operations well ahead of time. And with this weekend's Winter VHF/UHF Field Day potentially a wash out, it may provide an opportunity to reduce the $/QSO rate of the uWave gear
It's now become common practice, that where the 23rd falls on a weekend the events operating time are shifted from the evening to a day-time activation event. This has also allowed operators to take full advantage of the time, and head for the hills to trial their /P stations, investigate new paths and hopefully complete a contact with a new station (or more) that they wouldn't normally from their home station. It also provides an opportunity to activate other uWave bands. :o
A suggested schedule:
2:00pm (04:00z) - 03:00pm (05:00z) 23cm SSB/CW only
3:00pm (05:00z) - 5:00pm (07:00z) 13cm and other uWave bands
Liaison -
147.000 Repeater (if the RDRC would again be happy with that)
40m - 7.150MHz (is that still the recommended QRG?)
Mobile/cell phone

As a number of 23cm Plus operators do not participate in the OzLogger forum, please let those who may be interested know by taking a moment to share the plans with them.
However to allow others to plan their participation, could you please advise your interest, availability and any suggested enhancements to the schedule in this thread? :!:
