at the earliest opportunity, so that 6m DXers can start to monitor
for possible openings).
Suggested frequencies are as follows:

80m 3502 3795 3570 - 3580

6m Beacon 50090 - - - -
There will be 12 stations (one on every band from 160 to 6 metres,
with second stations on 80 and 20 metres so that they can operate on
CW and SSB at the same time) with big monoband antennas on all bands
from 30 to 6 metres and verticals on the remaining bands.
Feedback messages can be sent to 3b7c@g3wgv.com: John, G3WGV will
read them and send a daily digest of key information to the team.
Logs will be uploaded to the 3B7C website on a daily basis. The
online log lookup will feature a lookup for your zone, showing what
times you, or others in your country/zone, have made contact with
3B7C on each band.
QSL via G3NUG, direct or bureau (bureau cards can be requested via
