Hi Donald, I will also be participating from a remote location and using a G5RV. I think Rick is working up a freq and time schedule so hope to hear you and make a contact. Stay tuned.
By the way, we need to figure out how to reply that we will be participating and "attending" the event even though we don't physically show up.
I will be posting the HF Schedule for the Savahia Op here http://landops.wildapricot.org/page-18102/5575325

Looking forward to it!
So just to be clear...we are not geomagnetic storm chasers?

It has the tell tail whip that is bent forward and this is not for going through the drive-thru. We see this on many military vehicles. This position is not for passing under bridges, but it is meant to intentionally aim a portion of the antenna wave at a high angle upward so to get a skywave to bounce off the ionosphere. This is ideal for HF communications between stations up to a few hundred miles. On this topic we'd like to get the basics of NVIS, i.e. antennas, frequencies, ionospheric conditions affecting skywave propogation, etc... Please share the basics here.... (note) the wild apricot forum is working on making photo posting by everyone. RIght now only administrators can add photos to forum topics. In the meantime, if you have a diagram or photo that helps us understand NVIS please email it to me and I can add it to the post. send to ki6qbm@landops.org
