Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AB5K & the AR TelNet
Clusters Network and 1A0C for the following DX information.

1A, S.M.O.M. (Press Release - Thoughts about the magic band. Last press
release before the kick off). Posted on June 28th, by the 1A0C team
[edited]: "Roma is not precisely a remote place with scarce ham population!
So we don't see the need of a beacon. Even more, we don't want to upset
the local ham community with another broadcasting signal in the band,
there is a nice beacon already (I0JX) and it will be more than enough.
We will, of course, keep watching the early warning sites such as the
6m ON4KST prop pages and DXCluster.
  As it was intended from the beginning this operation is primarily
focused on working North America and Asia. Our plan for 6m is to steer
the beam to JA in the morning. All eastern EU will be covered in 1 hop
as well. And turn the beam to NA past midday, giving a chance for the
eagers in West EU. Last operations by 1A0KM has provided Sovereign Military
Order of Malta to most of the EU 6m population, however there are very
few dxpeditions planned for this season, therefore pileups from the old
Europe can be large as people are idle looking for any prey to hunt.
  The 6m propagation, specially on Es skip, is unpredictable, but our
experience of the last 20 years points that during the last week of
June/1st of July conditions are best for Xatlantic contacts and long
haul openings to the N. East. We need to be very observant for any possible
multihop event, managing meanwhile the EU pileup smartly whilst looking
for possible links across the Pond or Siberia. This is not easy, but we
have done it successfully and recently from Algeria, Egypt, Morroco,
Palestine, Andorra, etc.
  At the end, we are in Europe, hence, when working EU the so called
"DX-windows" must be avoided, that is 50.100-50.130. We are thinking to
stay fixed on one frq for all CW operation below it, between 50084-95,
in order to not to disturb upwards the band to leak the pileup into the
DX windows and choose a phone frq up in the band, away from the DX zone,
e.g. 50180. We really hope the local operators, and even the European 6m
fans, will appreciate this decision of the team.

 50 MHz information and operating tips

 • The 6 meter band will be included in this operation. We'll focus for
   long haul openings, as most of the Europe regions have been widely
   covered in the recent years.
 • We plan to use the following frequencies: 50.084 for CW and 50.180
   for SSB. Although they may be changed, depending on local noise/birdies.
   Split operation will be deployed when needed.
 • The main mode will be CW. If band conditions permit, SSB will be used
   to gain a higher QSO rate. Please do not ask for mode changing.
 • Please avoid QSO duplication, give others a chance. Logs will be
   uploaded twice a day to our website. If it will work, we will provide
   the live log online (new are not sure 100% now).
 • We don't find necessary to set a beacon station this time.
 • Our Grid Locator is JN61FV. Please, DO NOT send your locator, it is
   not needed and we won't log it anyway, it wastes precious time."
