[Moon] results & plans

[Dimitris Vitorakis]

SV1BTR was qrv for a total of 4.5 hrs in the DUBUS 2m cw eme activity event of March.
Conditions were not good. 4db more noise due to Sun proximity 10 degrees away, especially in 1st pass. All signals and echoes suffering from deep qsb. 
Hunters shooting non-stop but i shoot at the moon also, so that makes us colleagues i guess:-)

With my 21.5dbd 2m array despite bad propagation, smallest station worked once more was ON7EH with 12el. and 250w. Michel was coming in 529 on peaks! New initials with IT9CJC and PI9CM, no idea what they are running.
I would like to thank all European & Japanese stations who honored the event and gave me the pleasure to work them!

Result: 18 QSOs, the following fine stations / operators were worked on cw random heavyweight mode:
SP7DCS  IK2DDR  JH0WJF  IT9CJC  DK3EE  ON7EH  OK2POI  PA3CWN  LA8YB  F9HS  OK1MS  DL2FCN  F3VS  F0CXO  SV3AAF  OZ1LPR  PE1LWT  PI9CM. 

Back on EME weekend of 15/16 for the European EME Contest (DUBUS & REF) 70cm cw section. 
Wednsday going to Italy on qrl, but hopefully coming back Friday night. 
My current 8 yagis xpol 70cm array retires after the Contest. In early summer 2008 will be back with 24 yagis xpol.
