[Moon] SV3AAF back on EME 2m & 70cm

[SV3AAF petros]

Hello,

I was very happy to be back on EME after 12 years of
inactivity mostly thanks to the motivation from my
good old friend SV1BTR and of course QTH conditions
allowing me to have EME antennas without bothering
anyone!

Stations worked on 2m CW random during May 13th event
were:

SV1BTR 559/529
OK1MS O/RO
IK2DDR O/RO
LZ2US O/RO
IK1FJI O/RO

Stations heard: YO2AMU (very loud), F1FLA

Activity was low, I would assume due to the digital
contest running in parallel.
Variable faraday conditions were evident towards the
end of the first window and throughout the second.
Intermittent electrical noise also effected my
reception during second window.

Equipment on 2m are 4x2,1wl yagis, 8877, 0,2dbNF
preamp. I will be working on the system so it
improves, it was completed just a few days ago and
this was the first run.

As soon as I receive a better 0,4dbNF preamp on 70cm I
will be active there too, the rest of the system is
installed and it is 4x11wl crossed-yagis, GS23. I
estimate in a couple of weeks I will be ready for the
first run on the activity weekend of June 6-7th.
