[Moon] SM2CEW activity

[Peter Sundberg]

Happy New Year to all moonbouncers!

Was on briefly this morning but unfortunately my array is is full of ice
and snow, so the SWR is sky high and performance mediocre at best. We
received lots of heavy snow on Thursday and as the temperature has gone
down to -15C it is all stuck on the antennas.

Anyway, running very low power I worked KB8RQ, IK2DDR, YO2AMU and SP7DCS.
Heard F1FLA; G3ZIG, SM7GVF during the brief time that I was on. All were
vertically polarized.

Just before Xmas we had a very bad storm and the boom of one yagi was
broken. However, last weekend I managed to repair the broken boom, so in
that regard I am again fully operational. Now I just need some mild weather
to melt the ice and snow off the array.

I still have the December 2006 Dubus AW in fond memory, excellent activity
and very good signals. Will try to be on this evening for moonrise, so
please listen for my peanut whistle signal.
