[Moon] EME weekend

[OK1DFC]

Hello EME gang,
This is information about my activity during this weekend. I was participating on EME DUBUS contest 1296 MHz 8th and 9th of February 2008 and partly also work on CW and SSB. Weather was great and I had chance work with my dish. Claimed score in DUBUS contest I have 18 QSO and 17 multipliers, total 30.600 points. Activity was not so high. JT65c I have worked: JA6AHB, RD3DA, RK3WWF, PA3FXB, G4CCH, OK1CA, LA2Z, IW2FZR, OH2DG, K2UYH, OK1CA, VA7MM, SM5LE, PA0BAT, IW2FZR, UT3LL, RK3WWF, DF3RU, VE7BBG, W7UPF #35JT. 
CW and SSB I have worked: F2TU, VK3UM 579/579, VK3UM 55/56 SSB, OZ4MM 579/576, VK3UM 569/579, RK3WWF O/RO peeking 529 #201, LA9NEA 579/559, G3LTF 569/579.

I hope that WX permit work in SSB contest next week and will find higher activity like it was during this weekend. Still looks that DIGI mode is not so popular on higher bands like is on 144 MHz. What I can say is, that stations on 1296 MHz where exchanging reports in value in dB what is very nice and looks like little bit more complicate traffic. Also confirmation QSOs like TNX QSO or TNX –18 BEST was very often. Thanks again for great fun and hope to catch more stations in next. Smallest station worked during contest was RK3WWF – 2,1m dish, 70W RF, OK1DFC square septum feed and LNA with ATF54143. Worked him also CW very easy. Measured Sun noise during weekend 19dB with 76 flux number. New VLNA designed by Sam G4DDG working really great.
