[Moon] Any NA activity about 2000UT?

[M. Watanabe]

Hello Joe, 

Thank you for email and possible operation. 

I tried to work CX during our sked time but did nothing.  
Because of the very strong wind, the AZ direction was not incorrect.  I found it during the sked.  I tried to fix it outside. 
Nothing was heard on23cm 2000-2100UT, May 5.  No echo 
of any station, nor of my transmission. 
 
I think still the low angle below 10deg. is difficult for me.  
What's more is the difficulty to turn my antenna in the low 
elevation angle (because of the rotation mechanism). 
 
Sorry for that.  But getting up at 4am allowed me to work 
full day for repairing the roof for water-proof, aging of TH308 
tubes, etc.  hi
 
Thank you for your cooperation for me.  
Hope to hear you off the moon again.

BTW
Now we are busy in preparing for JA-EME meeting in Tokyo, 
next month.

Also busy for Italian EME Conference, too.  Do you have a 
plan to visit Florence??

73es,
