[Moon] CXpedition Update V

[dl1ymk at aol.com]

Hello Lunatics, 

 

today we managed for the second time after Iceland a 3-band EME-DXpedition. Our 13 cm activity now makes it possible, to get the WAC on 13 cm EME, because it is the first time that South America – as far as we know – has appeared on the moon on 13 cm. This was feasable only because of the tremendous efforts of CX2AQ and his good relationship to the URSEC (local license means 2390 MHz and 10W, which doesn't bring EME really forward..). 

Congrats to Willi, LX1DB, for the first WAC on 13cm!. Like in TF, he gave us a beacon to focus on the moon with the wobbling something of a dish (but doesn't weigh much).

After Willi we worked, mostly before sked slots, during heavy rain in the following line: F2TU, OZ4MM, HB9SV, G3LTF, OK1KIR, DL4MEA, OK1CA, PA3CSG, ES5PC, IW2FZR, HB9Q (sri for letting you wait, were looking for you on 2320, shame on us), WW2R, W5LUA, G3LTF (dupe, thanks for giving an audible moon, Peter).

 

We didn’t copy SM2CEW (Peter was repairing station), LA8LF and VE6TA. Just after digging out WA6PY we had to close down because of high winds again. Monika tried to keep the dish on the moon for a while, but no way, vy sri! It's too early to risk the dish, as done in TF. Paul, hopefully will catch you on 9th.

 

After yesterday’s update we managed to work Doug, VK3UM, with the setting moon on 70cm on the western pass (like TF) – probably our hardest piece of work so far…Unfortunately nil again from Japan, most likely because of that VK-import to our West.

 

Tomorrow we will show up again on 70 cm, hope to work those of you we missed so far. On May 9th we will be back on 13cm, please let us know, if there are further sked requests. Don't let us down on Monday May 5th, when we will be back on 23cm. Still many well-known calls missing.
