[Moon] 1296 MHz activity report from SM5LE

[SM5LE]

Hi

And again; what a week-end! Two new # and many repeated QSO to evaluate the focuspoint adjustment. It relay pyed of to have the focus adjusted by echo; sharp max and good repeatability.

On CW:
SV1BTR #, RW3BP 449/339 2.2m/2.8m dishes! , HB9SV, IK3COJ # (tnx for not giving up Aldo), K5JL, SM3LBN, K9SLQ and "1/2QSO" with VE3KRP.  
Heard and called : IK2MMB

On JT: RD3DA, VE7BBG, PA3CSG, ES5PC, RW3BP.

A lot of CW CQ: ing on 1296.010 did not seem to be a good idea.

Also heard SSB on 015 but this BigBoys don't tell call to often so I do not know who it was. Some Italian SSB also.
A will try hard to get my SSB running and I might have found the problem; the switched power supply regulation doesn't work for SSB. I have to try big capacitor or battery on the power sypply output. Have any noticed such problem with switched supplies?
