[Moon] [Moon-net] EME Results :-)

[DF2ZC]

Welcome to the club, Kenny....the club of those few who don't understand how
the DS decoder works but yet express an opinion not based on facts. 

Everybody who apparently unlike you invested some time trying to understand
the DS decoder does know that not at all the decoder fills in missing pieces
i.e. characters. Instead shooting from the hip you'd better study how the
decoder works and would not say only 1/7 of the required information would
be transferred. This is nothing but ridiculous.

If you find a place somewhere in the www where somebody writes the Earth is
a disk, this would still not apply...no matter how often it is repeated and
quoted.

Congratulations Lance. 
Since the exotic new DXCC ''QSO'' with BY7PP at -31db was a Deep Search
Decoder jt65 ''contact'', you could have well stayed in bed letting the
software fill in the missing blanks from the database or the ''To Radio''
sked box transferring 1/7 of the required information as it does under this
scheme:-(

Like this, you would have still gotten a good sleep and a bonus ''QSO'',
ready for you anyhow:-) 

Your receiving capability is way more better then the -31dB , its not your
equipment that makes the limit it's the software ...

Best regards,
Kenny ON4DPX

It was definitely worth getting up at 4 am this morning!  I completed with
JD1BMP on 2m at 1141Z, and then completed with BY7PP on 6m at 1216Z.  Both
were new DXCC for me, and the BY7PP contact was the first EME contact from
BY, and a first for North America on 6m.

BY7PP was running a single Create 6 element yagi, horizontally polarized,
aimed at the horizon on their moonrise, with 100w.  Their JT65A signal was
only -31 dB here - obviously the absolute minimum signal possible for me - I
had not really expected to copy anything from them until they get more
power, so I was quite pleasantly

surprised!  Degredation today was 2.9 dB and Kp index was 2.3.  They have
plans for 500w and possibly a second antenna. That extra 10 dB will
certainly make a HUGE difference!  Many thanks to Terry BA7NQ and Wong VR2KW
for putting the BY7PP club station on EME!

GL and VY 73, Lance
