EME operation canceled
 
The ''Big Dish'' earth-moon-earth operation from VE3ONT on the first
weekend of the ARRL EME Contest October 29 and  30 has been
preempted by professional use of the dish, which will be used by
radio astronomers participating in a worldwide supernova observation
experiment.
 
According to Michael Owen, W9IP, operators expect to have access to
the 46-meter dish for the second weekend of the 'Test, November 26
and 27, as previously announced.  The November operation will be on
144 MHz on both days, transmitting on 144.100 and listening
144.100-144.110 from approximately 0538 to 1645 UTC on the 26th and
0646 to 1713 UTC on the 27th.
 
Losing the October weekend cost the group planned operations on 50,
432, and 1296 MHz. The dish is part of the Algonquin Space Complex
in Toronto.
