[Moon] CXpedition Update VI

[dl1ymk at aol.com]

Hi lunatics,

yesterday we completed with a second day the CX-activity on 70 cm. In total we worked 22 initials in 15 countries and made 27 qso´s. 70 cm was a hard struggle comparing to 23 and 13 cm due to a strange polarisation shift in these southern latitudes, hi. We worked on May 4th: DL9KR, F2TU, RW3PX, DK3WG, G4RGK, SD3F, G3LTF, OZ4MM, K0RZ, LX1DB, K1RQG, some of them for a second time after May 2nd. Only from DL9KR and K1RQG we got  good 559 reports, we heard Jan even with a fantastic 579 signal! Mainly we changed o/ro. Sorry for those we missed, we sometimes heard the call or the reports, but didn´t get it completed, it was sometimes borderline. So please: If I send an “?Y”, only send your call, not mine. I do know my call!! 

 

Comparing to our TF activity we had improved our output because we bought a new  BEKO PA with 1 kW out. We got it only a few days before the lift off of the boxes to CX.  The PA worked very stable, doesn´t heaten anywhat, so a  compliment to Bernhard Korte for his new development! We also improved the number of initials on 70 cm comparing to the DXpeditions to Iceland and Madeira.

 

We still have a request for 70 cm activity from here, so we thought whether we will be back once more on 70 cm on Monday, May 12th before the JT-skeds on 23 cm (19.45 UTC) and after them (there is already a JT sked on 70 cm). So please send us, if there is still interest in doing so! The moon is available for us from 17.30 UTC until 04.00 next day. The JT is especially for those who failed in the skeds in CW to give them a 2nd chance to work us, but also for other weak stations. The time slots of PA3FXB and SM5LE became free, because they worked us in CW on May 5th!Congrats to both, they did an excellent job with small stations! So skeds are still available.
