I have a stop over in Honolulu on 3rd means so I will be qrv as KH6/M1KTA on the morning of the 4th October (No LoTW). I will be QRV on the USS Missouri probably as KH6BB at some point thanks to Bill KH6OO. Please note that KH6 is not my final destination.
This trip I have been asked to say where I will be TX as some could not find me in C5 or 6W so I list possible TX operating frequencies, IF I hear these frequencies are occupied I will be close to them.
Note for JA the digital frequency will be different.

WSPR/QRSS BEACON 10MHz 10.140MHz
I will try to activate all of these at some point.
Note my CW will be sub 16wpm, if you send faster I will probably ignore you.
If there is a pile up PLEASE LISTEN to any instructions if I am calling for a specific station or prefix I will wait until I get the station I want. I will not respond to part call signs as a rule and will answer full call signs only, you are likely to be ignored otherwise. I will not have the power to argue about it. Note that I will ask stations to shut up if they are effecting others unnecessarily.
I will probably be working simplex initially and split if needed I will be listening up 5khz for SSB and up 2khz for CW but listen on air.
Please allow the previous caller to complete their over before calling as it is likely I will ask them to repeat anyway.
I expect I will be working EU/UK mostly at sunset/sunrise especially on the lower frequencies give or take 30 minutes. EU/UK is my prime focus this trip. From my prime location everything is likely to be LONG PATH ONLY so point anything directional SOUTH from UK/EU. If I find a better location for short path I will advise. For an antenna I'd advise a sloping dipole and point it SOUTH.
This is what the grey line looks like from UK morning (c05:45) on second day.
Interestingly the ZD9UW station (look South Atlantic) from Rob M0VFC also from my local Cambridge club is in the same grey line :-)
My antennas will be a buddipole, vertical moxon for 20m and higher, phased verticals for 40m, loaded 40m vertical on 80m and 160m (maybe an AKI on 160m?). All right on the beach.
Rig will be Elecraft KX3 so I will be QRP but if 40m/80m/160m is possible I have a small dual MOSFET linear.
The QRSS 30m beacon will be qrv a day or two into the trip and remain on the whole time and it will be sending QRSS 3 "my call and locator", I would welcome any reports. The WSPR beacon will be on the same band and should be active at the same time.
Note my CW will be sub 16wpm, if you send faster I will probably ignore you.
