[Moon] CXpedition UpdateV

[dl1ymk at aol.com]

Hi gang,

due to numerous birdies on 432 MHz we had to move 2 kHz down to 432.043 MHz. Birdies are produced by nearby TV repeater, so no way to stay on 432.045 or we would have made NO qso today as a consequence.
So we will RX on 432.043, adjusting TX for Doppler, from now on. This is especially true for May 4th.
Despite heavy polarization problems (could hear US only vertical i.e.), we made 14 QSO's, mostly random. Of course very sorry for those skeds, which failed. If there is interest still to work us, we are available on May 4th from 1030ut - 1100ut, because we made it rnd today with G3LTF and I1NDP - this is also true for ATP.
Hopefully we produced a smile on the face at DL9KR, OK1DFC, HB9Q, DF3RU, OZ4MM, SM2CEW, UA3PTW, PA3CSG, I1NDP, DL7APV, G3LTF, K1RQG, K1FO and K2UYH.

Please note once again: no matter where you are and what sked slots you have: please you start the first sequence. Reason is simple: we just have to adjust a wobbling bunch of alu (MUD) on the moon in 1st sequence, hi!

The 70cm QSO's are much more demanding than anything else out here in the middle of nowhere, with dozens of flies around your head, producing even more QRM, oh boy, oh boy. At least, I was grilled from the rear 2day (sitting in front of open fireplace - to get the temperatures higher than 10°C inside the house), but fingers remained clumsy...

Hang on boys, so do we, we've got no choice...
