[Moon] K7XQ Activity Report

[K7XQ]

Got on the last few weekends and worked the following:

144: W2DBL#, PJ4NX#, JA0BBW#, JH2COZ, K9MRI, JH0HME#, PA3DOL#, K5QE#, K7MI,
YU7XL#, RA9YDL#, VK3AXH, RV9UV#, G4CBW, W9JN#, K9DX#, KN4SM#, W7GJ, W2TSL#,
GM4VVX, AD4TJ#, ON7UC#, DK3EE, YO2AMU#       HRD: OH6UW, EB3DYS

432: I1NDP#, OZ4MM#, DL7APV     HRD: K3MF

1296: SV1BTR#, VE6TA, K5SO      HRD: VA7MM, K5JL

Highlights were working SV1BTR with a very nice stable 559 on 1296 and 
new stations PJ4NX and K5QE on 144. 

Within the next coming months the 432 array will be rebuilt to accommodate 
Eight 13 W.L. XPOL yagis. The 9 W.L. yagis will be modified to add more 
length and to add vertical elements. I am totally sold on cross polarity 
for the low band EME bands !!

Unfortunately cant run the DUBUS CW 144 because it occurs on my local 
Friday nights and don't get home from QRL on the weekdays till @ 0500 UTC
daily. I can usually work the 432 CW DUBUS on the last half of each section
right on my weekend moonrises ( NA West Coast ).

If anyone is interested in 1296 and/or 2304 bands next weekend, please 
let me know so the feed and preamp can be changed.
