K4T DXpedition

The K4T DXpedtion to EL84 web page says the team plans to include satellite operations.

The DXpedition dates are March 11-15, 2010.
Team Leader for K4T, Mike Forsythe, AC2V says, "One of the primary stations will be dedicated to satellite operations on a 24 hour basis.

"Mark Hammond, N8MH will be heading up K4T satellite operations. K4T will be using batteries, solar power, and wind power. It's a completely 'green' operation".

Mike, AC2V said, "The satellite station plans to work FM, SSB and perhaps a bit of CW. We have requested that the secondary repeater on AO51 be dedicated to K4T.
As for equipment, at the primary station we are going to have redundant Icom 910 transceivers, Yaesu G-5500 rotor, LVB Tracker, ARR preamps and M2 CP yagi antennas and will be running SATPC32. We also have the option of portable operations with a Yaesu FT-817 with an Elk antenna."

Mark, N8MH said, "We're going to have a top-notch satellite station! You can expect us to be active on AO-7, AO-27, FO-29, SO-50, AO-51, VO-52, SO-67, and HO-68 (depending on the mode schedules of the satellites, of course)."
