[Moon] G4CCH 13cm Activity Report 19/20 Sept

[Howard Ling]

Despite the Moon being Kaputt ;-)), I had a great time on the 1st pass this
weekend. 
So far, I made 17 QSO's and added 9 Initials over the whole operating period
which started at my Moonrise before the start of the contest at 0000z.
I thought activity was good for my first real experience of 13cm during a
contest, and at times there were some exceptionally loud signals.
 
Here's who's in the log:

OM/OK1DFC Initial and DXCC... The Moon was very low and I had about 40% tree
blockage, but Zdenek was easy copy.
RW1AW on CW and SSB

OK1CA Initial
ES5PC
OH2DG Initial and DXCC
HB9SV Initial and DXCC
G3LTF 
G3LQR Initial
WD5AGO Xband
K1JT Xband Initial
DL4MEA Initial
DL1YMK Initial
SP6GWN
WA6PY Xband Initial
F2TU
NA4N Xband
SM2CEW

Also heard:

RW3BP
IK2RTI
DK7LJ on ssb
OZ4MM
W9IIX

I will be on again tonight starting at 2130z looking for the ones that got
away, and hopefully a few more.
I will TX only on 2320 and can switch my RX to 2320 / 2301 / 2304
Unfortunately I still can't receive on 2424 yet, so sorry to the JA's...
more work to do, just need some time.

If anyone is interested in looking, I'm now able to stream video and audio
from my shack to demonstrate EME.
You can find me on the BATC website at:

As I'm not intending entering the contest, I will try to stream some live
operation for a while on the next pass.

Best 73 & GL
