[Moon] 1A0KM QRV EME July 15

[Dimitris Vitorakis]

Hello All

1A0KM is QRV 2m EME (CW). Grid: JN61.
Wolfgang DL5MAE (operator) and Ben DL6RAI, after a 1000Km drive, have setup the station and all is working! 
They will be on tomorrow July 15, moonrise to moonset.

Half an hour before my moonset we tried today, copied them and send O report, they copied me also, but we could not complete due to excess Sun noise in moon's direction, QRN on my side, as well as E-s on their side during our test.  

Please note that:
They need around 20 degrees elevation to clear at their moonrise.
Also at southwest they have a palm tree which blocks them, but only for a quite short azimouth range. So if u lose them for little time then, not to worry.
Pwr is 1kw due to low electricity (mains) line.
There is qrm as they are in the center of a big city, but manageable as they replaced the preamp with another one which handles the situation better.
