[Moon] First Pass 13cm & 10GHz

[F2TU Philippe]

Hello,
Better first part than last year:
13cm: 20 qsos, heard stations calling me before laying down it the moon,
but I had at this time already the noise of the trees. Initials DF3RU, K1JT.
10 GHz: QRV 3 hours, 10 qsos, of the qsb, the antenna moved sometimes of
0.5° because of the wind. But the propagation was very good in the
second part: only 10 Hz of bandwide thus of the very clear signals and
my echoes with peaks of 18db! Very happy to contact K6RE absent for me
since 8 years.Disappointed not to have heard a OK, HB and DL only DF3RU.

For that I modify my planning for second part:
13cm today strat 20:00
If the 13cm activity is weak the morning, I will work on 10GHz 03:30 -
around 06:00
5.7 GHz around 006:30 - 07:30,  20:00 - 22:00
13cm 07:30 - 08:30 good, 08:30 - 09:30 for big gun! (trees)
13cm Sunday 22:00 - 24:00
