EURAO Party - Spring 2019: Meteor Scatter on 6m

The European Radio Amateurs' Organization announces a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "Meteor Scatter on 6m". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.

Purpose: The 6m band (50-52 MHz in Europe) is located in the lowest portion of VHF. Because its very special characteristics of propagation, it's called the "magic band". One of the most original modes of communication is Meteor Scatter, taking advantage of meteor showers. The objective of this party is to awaken curiosity about this mode and band, and encourage hams to know more about them.

Date & time: May 25th and 26th, 2019, Saturday and Sunday, 00:00-24:00 UTC.

Bands & modes: these are the recommended frequencies (+/-) for 6m Meteor Scatter: MSK144/50.280 and 50.360 MHz.

Call: "CQ EURAO Party".

Logs: for statistic purposes only, we ask participants to submit their logs to party@eurao.org in ADIF format, where the filename should be your callsign (e.g. EA3RKF.ADI).
