Having been stimulated, encouraged and educated by NC1I, K2UYH, N2UO, K2TXB, 
K1JT and others, I have put together enough parts to get on 144 and 1296 
EME, thanks to many of you who loaned, gave or sold gear to me. I attended 
the past three EME conferences and also got much advice and encouragement 
from the gang. I made my first single yagi EME 144 QSO with Chris SP7DCS in 
the fall. The weather is not conducive to outdoor ham activity now, and all 
of my operations will be portable using my rover van. I hope to be on the 
air in March, if things warm up by then. Although my power is a bit QRP for 
EME, I expect that I will be able to work several of the bigger signal 
stations on CW on each band. Will also try to install WSJT for the future. 
144: 400W 2X18el-5wl, cavity preamp.  1296: 120W 10' dish, septum 
feed+scalar, cavity preamp 73, Rick, K1DS
