[Moon] SM2CEW 13cm + 2m CW EME

[Peter Sundberg]

A rather late start this morning resulted in the fact that most stations
had gone QRT on 13cm for the day I think.. 

Came on 13cm EME at 10.00 GMT and worked G4CCH, ES5PC, K1JT #9, and F2TU
#10. Heard WD5AGO and DF9QX. Called CQ on 2320 (also listening X-band!)
with fair echoes until 11.45 GMT when I had to shut down as the moon was in
the trees. G4CCH and F2TU were still good signals at that time though.

Not sure what I will do tonight and tomorrow morning regarding 13cm EME, as
this is a very busy radio weekend for me with the ARRL Microwave EME
activity weekend, ARI EME contests and the SAC CW HF contest all going on
at the same time. And I want to take part in all three events, at least to
make a few QSO's. But most likely I will be on 13cm again for a while in
the morning. Michael YMK, will be looking for you..!

I was also on 2m this morning and worked a bunch of nice CW EME stations. I
found conditions rather poor, and echoes were not that strong with me. All
Eu stations were either vertical pol or mixed, i e 45 deg offset from my
v/h polarization.  I heard more stations than I worked, so will try to be
back again for the next moon window.
