> Hello everyone...
> It was my first time QRV on 13cm.  Many tnx to all
> who called me.  It took a lot of effort listening
> on 2 bands.  I also had some random contacts on my
> own QRG.....I didn't realise that some countries
> have 2300-2304  as an allocation.
> I am very sorry that I missed some stations on 2320...I
> did QSY for Rx  on that band  as I said I would.
> Wx  was very bad here...wind  gusts 60 km/h...created
> a lot of QSB...but nonetheless I was AMAZED at how
> loud the signals were.. I think my feed efficiency
> is very good as I am receiving at least 0.3dB Moon
> noise...(due to wind  accurate pointing difficult)
> I was also amazed to hear my own echoes through the
> ground noise  and some big signals.
> 
> Here is my Wkd list...almost all planned skeds  were
> completed random before the sked time.
