[Moon] Activity report 8-9 sept. de SM5LE

[SM5LE]

"High degradation hits small dish" is the headline for this week end.

Sutter day was reasonable with 5 QSO: s in 6 hours.
BUT Sunday was very bad 1 QSO in 7 hours !
Why is that so? Is one way propagation possible even with circular pol ?  (Something else than Faraday) or was it just that the high degradation, 1.8 dB, is significant for a 2.2 m dish ?

1st day worked: G4CCH, RW1AW, IW2FZR, OK1CA, DF3RU and F2TU.

2nd day worked: only ON7UN.
Hrd and called like hel.. sorry , like very much was: SM4DHN, K1RQG, K9SLQ, K5JL and K5SO. (Do I hear to good for my 250 W @ feed?)
Hrd in QSO: SV1OE and SP6JLW.

The Sked with K0ALL was NIL. First sked time I was not QRV because I did not get any sked list. Was looking on Internet for K1RQG: s sked list but find only old ones. Now I have find out that I should ask for a "membership" on a mail list "Net Notes by K1RQG" (thanks info Howard).

CU next time in low degradation and high declination

Ps What the difference between MOON_NET and Moonbounce mailing lists?
