[Moon] Re: [Moon-net] 1296Mhz first attemp

 Hi Jorge, I will be QRV for the contest and look forward to working you.
On 1296 most stations do not have " their own frequencies" as is the case on 
144 MHz.  Most people move around  to find  clear spots  if the band is 
busy. There is a calling frequency on 1296.010 but that is NOT a good place 
to be in contests.
 PLEASE make sure that you call plenty of CQs  in a clear area, above 
1296.020 is a sensible place to try.
 It is very frustrating for the medium level stations like myself to hear 
small stations only call big guns, (who are 6-8dB stronger) but never to 
hear the small stations call CQ somewhere in the clear.

Hi All,
If things goes right next Saturday I will test the 23cm eme station.
Due a tree blockade I will see the moon after 1200 UTC, then I have free
time until 1800 UTC.
I dont know how things will work, then, would be very appreciate if "big and 
little guns"

Sorry no sked in advance, I will try  S+P if all is OK.
