This weekend will be a good time to work Meteor Scatter contacts on 6m! The Orionid’s peak tonight (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) night, October 20th and 21st. We’ll be operating using WSJT-X MSK144 mode on 6m. We plan to use our Remote Operating setup to take advantage of our SDR’s receiver capabilities and the connected 500w amplifier.
