VK ZL JA – EU S2S QSO Party

Evento SOTA. Riporto il comunicato originale e il link al forum (https://reflector.sota.org.uk/t/1-april-2023-vk-zl-ja-eu-s2s-qso-party/31447)

Hi all

This is not an April fools’ joke 

Ed DD5LP and I have been discussing potential dates for the next VK ZL JA – EU S2S QSO party. March 25-26 is the CQWW WPX SSB contest while 1 April is the last day of VK daylight savings and is contest free up to 0800 UTC.  The RSGB FT4 International activity day commences at 0800 UTC.

Therefore we have selected 1 April 2023 and we acknowledge it may be an early start for some in the northern hemisphere.

Timings: VK east coast sunset is at 0800 UTC (1900 local), therefore the logical start time is around 0630 UTC, that’s a 90 minute long path window up to VK east coast sunset. Of course activators will choose a start time suitable to their local conditions.

All SOTA activators and chasers, anywhere in the world, you are welcome to join in using your preferred mode, CW, SSB and digital etc…

Please make a note in your diary.
