G’day Bob

HNY and greetings from the land of Aus. Just to let you know that we are
hoping to be fielding (at least) the usual two teams.

Enthusiasm seem to be running at its usual high level – doubtless helped by
last year’s 1st and 3rd team places – of which we are very proud.

May the propagation be good for everyone – and that the number of CC
entrants is even bigger than last year!

Quake Contesters

Hi Bob,
The Quake Contesters will be entering a team as usual.  
We are just finalizing the team as one of our regulars 
will be out of the country.  Will let you know as soon as possible.

VP9I – 2019

I was all set to return to Gozo for the 4th time in 2019 when I heard that my stalwart host Colin, 9H4CT was expecting to lose the use of the neighbouring field, which worked well for me last year.  Bob PJT had told me about the new direct Gatwick flight to Bermuda at the recent Convention, so a quick call to Ed VP9GE indicated that his station was free for BERU 2019.  Bonus will be a week’s holiday to a new venue for Gerry, my long-suffering XYL!

This will be another all-band Restricted section entry, using my trusty K3 and P3 and (mostly) Ed’s existing single element antennas.  The local Club call VP9I is expected to be available, if not look out for G3LET/VP9.  Either way, I’ll be happy to join a Caribbean team.

73, Peter G3LET

Propagation was not good. 10meter: we did not even touch. Very poor 15 meters, only some TEP. We dad tremendous noise on 80. On the whole enjoyable. Team Med

Malta update

HI Guys

 

I need  to update you all on the latest developments.

ZB2CW cannot make part of the team so, Ivan 9h1pi, will be running the 9h1mrl after all as we originally planned.

David, 9h1tx, will be with Ivan and perhaps another operator.

Probably Dave, G3RXP,9H3IL, may join either Ivan at 9h1mrl or myself at 9h6a.  We shall see on this when Dave gets to Malta.

 

So the stations making up the team are now:

[Version 100.01.01 hi]

 

9h6a      [9h1xt plus others:  Multi op station.]

C4z          [5b5aiz]

9h3et    [Peter]

9h1mrl [9H1PI,9H1TX,9H3IL?: Multi op station]

9h1ae    [Savvas]

Hope everything goes well

Team Med change

Hi John

Very sorry to trouble you again but we would like to substitute Derek zb2cw instead of the 9h1mrl station if that is possible. This makes the stations for TEAM MED as :

 9h6a      [9h1xt plus others Multi op station.]

C4Z          [5b4aiz]

9h3et    [Peter]

Zb2cw   [Derek]

9h1ae    [Savvas]

 Hope this is ok.

Hi agn John,

Thanks for the update, and glad you have been successful forming a team for the forthcoming Beru contest. I expect to be away from home during the day next Saturday, but if I get back early in the evening, I shall open up and try to give you and the rest of the team a ZB2 multiplier on the various bands.

John
