<p><font face="Arial">After the screwup last weekend due to a flakey
driver for the uBlox GPS I was using </font><font face="Arial"><font
face="Arial">(which caused me to appear to have never left
home)</font>, I am trying 60 meters APRS again this week. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Starting Tuesday 26 June, I am driving from
central Michigan to Rice Lake, Wisconsin, a total distance of
about 650 miles (about 1040 Km) on the road, but about 400 miles
(640 Km) as the crow flies. This should be a nice test of the
NVIS range of 60 meters; i.e. 0-300-to-400 miles or so. The
departure will be about 0800 EDT, with the arrival at about 2030
to 2130 EDT (local is 1930-2030 CDT). This means the extended
twilight propagation should be kicking in as I approach the
destination.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Wednesday will be just driving around the
local area -- not much beaconing.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">The return trip, on Thursday, will have the
twilight propagation developing as I get back near home. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">My <u>Special Events UI-Webserver</u> will be
tracking whatever can be heard from my home station TS-2000 and
105' ladder-line-fed dipole. Go to</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial">and click on the black "Special Events Server"
button.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">As before, I will be operating on <b>5403.50
Khz USB</b> (US "channel 5") with <b>300</b><b>-baud </b><b>AX.25</b>
on 1600/1800 Hz tone pair (i.e. standard KAM/TNC2 tones for HF),
and on APRS Messenger <b>APRS-over</b><b>-MFSK16</b> on 2100 Hz
center tone.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Calls will be <br>
</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial">WA8LMF-6 (AX.25)<br>
WA8LMF-66 (MFSK16)</font></b></p>
<p><font face="Arial">I will also be beaconing the usual 2M 144.39
APRS as just plain WA8LMF with no SSID. <br>
