[Moon] TF/DL1YMK on 432

[SM2BYA]

Hi from JP81nx (SM3BYA),

Came here straight from a business trip to Latvia late Fri. evening and was
busy with other things all day yesterday, so didn't check my email until
1100 UT today. Consequently I didn't note Michael's info re their 432 plans.

Not that it would have made a lot of difference if I'd seen it earlier; when
turning on the rig this morning the preamp behaved strangely (or maybe it
was the coax relay?) resulting in very bad sensitivity. Climbed my 21m tower
twice to investigate without finding anything obvious, but then the fault
cleared itself at about 1030 UT.

At 12.15 UT  copied TF/DL1YMK clg CQ on .035 with RST 339 sigs and lots of
QSB. K2UYH came on the frequency, calling him. This didn't appear to result
in a QSO as far as I could tell, so I also started calling Michael, but no
reply.

At 1230 UT I copied Michael calling G4RGK on sked at .045, but after two
overs with no Dave showing up he fell silent. Tried calling him on .035
again until 1250 UT, but at that point my antenna mount ran out of elevation
range (it jams below 9 degrees...) and I had to give up.

So here's one guy who's hoping the weathermen are mistaken about tomorrow's
forecast for Iceland...

Michael and Monica, good luck to you and may the dish hold up!
