Welcome to the April 23-on-23.
Tuesday April 23rd is the next scheduled 23-on-23 - providing another opportunity to activate your 1,296MHz and other uWave home or portable station capabilities.
Operations will be conducted as follows:
Phone/CW
Start time: 10:00z / 8:00pm AEST / 9:00pm ADST
QRG: 1,296.100MHz
Digital and 2,403MHz
Start time: 11:00z / 9:00pm AEST
23cm QRG: 1,296.225MHz (Mode JT65)
13cm QRG: 2,403.100MHz USB
These events are designed to develop the level of activity on 23cm and above amateur bands.
Please do not hesitate to share with others who you know have capability and see if we can continue to grow the numbers of participating stations.
Activity is not limited to stations within SE VK4, and the growing contingent from VK2. Everyone is very welcome to participate. Please share and promote on other FB pages.
As is often proven, if the participating stations are unaware of your operation, there is a high likelihood that you won’t be worked. [Quite simple and very logical really!] Please take a moment to share advice of your participation here, and on the night log into VKLogger.com on the evening and the ‘23&Above’ iChat page, so that attention to 'exploiting' the path can be achieved.
Good luck to everyone.

Hi Scott,
I plan to be on 23cm (1296.1 MHz SSB) this evening from home (QG62LO) with 150w > 2 x 19 el yagis. I'll have the VKLogger running.

Literally had 5 minutes only available, but nothing heard on 1296.0 FM.
Then tuned to 1296.1 USB and heard OMs VK4CZ & VK4AFL weakly with X-pol losses.
Diamond tri-band vertical, and no feed line to the 23cm yagi here ATM.
That got me wondering how many others out there have 23cm FM V only.
Might be worth including this group as well by adding an FM window to the schedule?
I'm sure the repeater custodians would also be happy to see them get some use, and blow the dust out.
