Will be jumping on Sunday Sept 20 at Byron CA carrying a Yaesu FT 817 and 10M end fed dipole trailing wire antenna. Will be making SSB QSOs under open canopy starting at about 12,000 ft. If there is interest I'll make some AM QSOs too. Should work line of sight contacts and who knows, maybe further if conditions permit.
We have little control over scheduling as experienced jumpers pay $22 per jump and tandem jumpers pay over $200. http://bayareaskydiving.com/?gclid=CIOpi4G_xMUCFU9ffgodP4UACA Guess who gets boarding priority?
We will have unique QSL cards for this event, our 21st Parachute Mobile mission.
www.parachutemobile.com Check website above for spot freq and jump time updates. Our AM spot is planned for 29.025 MHz. Will have a base station at the drop zone operating SSB at 28.425MHz. If you wish to work me on AM 29.025 contact me first on 28.425 SSB and request a switch over after I finish the 28.425 traffic.
Will try to get some jumps in between 10 and noon CA time. Will jump all day if winds permit. With our big radio jump canopies (210 sq ft) landing in winds above 15 knots is dicey. We use big canopies for these jumps due to gear weight and the desire for long hang times.
