[Moon] EME:ers are "over polite" ; a 23cm contest comments de SM5LE

[SM5LE]

Hi all



EME:ers are "over polite" .

 

For several times, I heard stations sending 7-10times of  73: s in a row and also some rows of  TNX and then one (1) call sign! (or just BK) .  This is frustration for small stations who have very limited signal strength.

(No, I can not put up a larger dish; there is no place for it.)

 

BUT, I am happy also; worked 20 random CW QSO: s in contest. That's record for me.

23 cm IS a great band! 

Heard and called was: PA3SCG, JA6CZD, IK3COJ, HB9SV, ON7UN, PA0SSB, and PI9CAM. 

Very much QSB the whole weekend.



Still working on more power.



Nice to hear that Per SM3JQU is QRV now . G.L. Per
