Propagation Survey
A call to test the propagation on 60 meters, at noon and while in the grayline, using NVIS antennas and QRP power. AegeanDXgroup and Athens QRP Net invite you on May 5, 2019 in a meeting on
60 meters to study the propagation on the frequencies (5351.5 - 5366.5 MHz) of the band.
Duration: 09:00 - 11:00 UTC and 16:00 - 18:00 UTC
Power: QRP not exceeding 5 Watts
Modes: CW (5351.5 – 5354 MHz), SSB(USB) (5354 – 5364 MHz), BPSK31 (366 -
5366.5 MHz).
Stations can transmit on any or all modes.
Please sent Log (in adif, cabrillo, word or excel format) with real RS(T), QTH
locator and Antenna description to: sv8cyr@gmail.com
Participants will receive souvenirs. The participants with top qso’s (independently of
modes) will receive commemorative gifts
Now, NVIS antennas and 5 Watts may pretty much preclude any participation from our side of the pond; but it might well be worth a listen, at least. I have not been on 60 Meters much at all. I would be lying if I were to tell you that I was familiar with its propagation characteristics and properties. If anyone from our side were to hear any SVs or even manage to work one of them, I'm sure they's be thrilled!
I hope they post the results somewhere when all is said and done. It would be interesting to see how it all worked out.

Hello Larry, got the e-mail as well. I'm very active on 60m with a low inverted-V, a so called NVIS system. I can tell you though that DX can be worked especially in greyline situations. No doubt we can work the USA/Canada with only 5W. 73, Bas
