Unfortunatelystill always almost all of the HAM software packages utilise RS-232Cports and do not provide you the opportunity to configure it to an USBport even if the state-of-the-art notebooks are furnished exclusively with USB connections. :-( Probablythe problem is that OE5FJL's program and the interfacecard utilises RTS and DTR lines of the RC-232Cport. As these are not used in the USB standard, most of the USB to RS-232 converter dongles omit these lines. Therefore only a few manufacturer's converter dongles can be used. 73: Joska, HA5CW -----Original Message----- From: Frank Veldhuijsen To: moon at moonbounce.info Sent: Mon, Nov 30, 2009 8:55 pm Subject: [Moon] OE5JFL antennacontroller in trouble? Hello all?. After some delay I finished the OE5JFLcontroller. It was one of the meanwhile famous batch of controllers that Alex,HB9DRI, made. I did some dry test on the board and theinterface is running well. The controller board is equipped with an Atmel AT89C51ED2 which is not programmed yet. The needed HEX-file is on OE5JFLhomepage. I downloaded the needed Atmel Flip 3.3.4software. The RS-232 interface of the controller isconnected via a serial to USB adapter (HQCC-146). Although it looks likeeverything is working well, I?m not succeeding in getting in contact withthe Atmel device. I spent a few hours to dig through the manual of theFlip-software and some I-net search on how to program such device. It lookslike I?m missing something or??on I-net I found people havingtrouble programming devices through serial-USB adapters. Even the Flip-manualis giving attention to a certain device that is causing trouble. Any hints on this topic? Many thanks in advance. Please respond viathe list. The subject might be interesting for others as well. 73?s de Frank, PA4EME _______________________________________________ Moon mailing list Moon at moonbounce.info http://www.moonbounce.info/mailman/listinfo/moon Please enter/update your standings: http://www.vhf-dx.net/top.html When you decide to remain anonymous I may consider this unpolite and remove you from the list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On 2m & 70cm I can only be QRV when moon is below 35 degrees due to the elevation limit of my antenna system. I will monitor the JT65 band with SDR-IQ + MAP65.

It certainly shows the difference that can be experienced across the Globe. At this QTH (QF22ro) 70cm on both days at Moon rise, Faraday was very close to 90 degrees but within 5 degrees El it moved to ~45 followed by variations between 0 - 45 over ~5 minute periods. In other words the "rapid" polarity swings resulted in deep QSB where the weaker station "came and went". There was little Libration present and 70, and even with the QSB proved better operating than 23cm 23cm on both days was characterised by severe Libration, smear and deep QSB. Signals took on almost an Aurora sound, although none was reported here that I am aware of. Most of the time I was forced to copy in a wide bandwidth that made things difficult in working smaller stations. The conditions (and activity) reflected upon a combined total of 96, which was 7 less than last year. Recovering .. already sent YYY's to the dogs' snoring and have logged several others CWNR. Next Year ? getting too old for this midnight caper ! (but I have said that for the last couple of decades!) Excellent display of operating .. but please remember when hearing YYY DE VVV KKK 333 UUU MMM then follow suit and also put an exaggerated space between the end and start of your call sign .. it helps so much during poor conditions. 73 de Doug VK3UM From sv3aaf at yahoo.com Tue Dec 8 10:49:28 2009 From: sv3aaf at yahoo.com (SV3AAF Petros) Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 01:49:28 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Moon] ARRL 09 EME cont. rep. Message-ID: <392588.65569.qm@web59107.mail.re1.yahoo.com> Hello, It has been three enjoyable weekends of ARRL ?09 EME contest with very good QSOs per time spent ratio (for europe) despite the glitches, bad WX and terrible libration on 23. The total QSO count on 5 bands was 125 on CW plus a few dups (cw&ssb). QSO breakdown: 6cm:4, 13cm:23, 23cm:69, 70cm:19, 2m:10. It looks like the growth winner this year was the microwave section. Activity on 13cm is fast approaching maturity and requires more time devoted as QSO numbers have increased. Adding up band/feed changes sometimes leads to time shortage and coordination problems therefore a single mw weekend maybe not enough for everyone.

Thanks to all for the excellent fun & QSOs. Being away from the eme qth for a month, it is highly likely to come up with problems when one shows up. This time the motor of azimuth rotor was dead prior to contest, and thus dish could not move. As such I could not be qrv on 23cm where i missed a lot of fun, action and a big number of friends. 2m V pol. had moisture-water, no time to fix. 70cm rx was degraded by 2db since it had been raining non-stop for 2 days. Sunday night wx was at last good and signals were much better. To warm up the shack Murphy decided to assist! Thus, Saturday afternoon onwards I had 40+C fever, which made operation quite challenging. I lost big part of my moonrise session on Saturday as my body could not cooperate. The ears were working in the red, to copy callsigns & reports :-) Total QSO count on CW is 208 + 6 dups. All QSOs on random (no logger chats-no spots), except 2 which were skeds * with vy fast and ufb signals. QSO breakdown: 2m:60 (including several single yagi and qrp stations with great signals - congrats!), 70cm:48 , 23cm (qrv 1st leg only):57 , 13cm:43 2m: OK1MS DL8UCC IT9CJC IK1FJI K9MRI SV3AAF IK1UWL 9A9B I3EVK UA3PTW SP7DCS RZ4HF W0PT K0GU K1OR DL2HWA DK3NG CT1HZE IK3MAC F0CXO DL5MAE JE1TNL LA8YB RA6DA LZ1DP JM1GSH YO2AMU SP3XBO OK1KKD AD4TJ F1FLA OK1TEH K1JT OZ1HNE K6PF VE1KG G4FUF IT9CJC SM7GVF DL2FCN PA3ECU W0PT W3SZ K6AAW WA2FGK SM2CEW WA6PY N3FA F1FLA YU1EV RU1AA OK1VVP EI4DQ OK1YK IZ2DJP JH0WJF DL2FCN N4GJV* ES5PC ON7EH DF2ZC ON4KHG F1JRD 70cm: UA3PTW DL9KR I1NDP G3LTF SP6JLW DF3RU DL7APV DG1KJG DJ7GK SV3AAF OK1KIR VE6TA K1JT N4GJV ES5PC JJ1NNJ F6HLC F6FHP SM3JQU JA5NNS JA9BOH VK3UM SM2CEW K1RQG W8TXT N8CQ K0RZ WA6PY JA0TJU SM4IVE OH2DG YO2IS SP7DCS DL4MEA K4EME LZ1DX SM6FHZ W7CI UA6LGH OZ4MM JA0TJU PI9CAM IK2RTI OK1CA IK6EIW* KL6M JA6AHB DL5FN OK2POI JA5NNS 23cm: HB9BBD JA4LJB SP6JLW JA4BLC RD3YA LZ1DX RA3AQ IW2FZR LA9NEA IZ1BPN K5JL LZ2US OK1DFC SP7DCS PA3FXB OE5JFL NA4N UT5CJW SM6FHZ N4PZ VE3KRP UA3PTW NA4N SV3AAF DL0SHF SM4DHN IK3COJ VA7MM WA4EV W6YX N2UO ON4BCB WA6PY F5JWF G3LTF DF3RU IK2MMB OK1KIR S50C JH5LUZ DL3EBJ OE9ERC G4CCH RW6AG JR4AEP 9A5AN K2DH ES5PC OH2DG HB9SV N0OY W5LUA OZ4MM W9IIX G3LQR VK3UM JA6AHB JA8ERE 13cm: OK1CA SP6OPN SV3AAF DF9QX OH2DG G3LTF LZ1DX PA0BAT ES5PC IK2RTI OK1KIR SD3F SP6GWN F5KUG PY2BS HB9Q OE9ERC DL4MEA K1JT F2TU K8EB W5LUA PI9CAM NA4N VE6TA WD5AGO W9IIX K5GW DL3EBJ LA9NEA G4CCH OZ4MM DF3RU RK3WWF IW2FZR JA8IAD JA8ERE PA3DZL SM2CEW W7JM WA6PY VE4MA K7XQ Vy 73 Jimmy SV1BTR From vallik at telia.com Wed Dec 9 23:46:36 2009 From: vallik at telia.com (Viljo Allik) Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:46:36 +0100 Subject: [Moon] ARRL EME Contest summary by ES5PC Message-ID: Hi, This was my first EME contest to operate on 6 bands EME. It has been somewhat difficult to share the operating time between different bands. As the weather was not good during the microwave weekend I had to limit my band changes to almost minimum and lost several possible QSO-s because of that. A separate weekend for MW bands above 2.3 GHz would be very welcome in the future. As the activity on 13 cm has increased significantly and will increase likely even more it may be worth to consider. On 13cm I was able to transmit also on 2424 MHz but this feature only resulted in one(!) QSO with... OE9ERC. I called JA8IAD on his 2424 frequency and received no reply. Then switched TX to 2320 and worked him immediately. Perhaps the QRM from WLAN band makes listening on 2424 much more difficult than 2320 or 2304 in JA? On 23cm a new RA3AQ feed and G4DDK preamp was installed. Most of the time it felt like my echoes and stations on the band were a bit stronger than with my old feed/preamp. I'm planning to perform more measurements on my system soon. But as the Sun is going already too low here I cannot perform any correct Sun noise measurements before spring. I operated both CW and digital. During the last weekend I noticed that the number of stations calling CQ has been ?ncreased compared to the first weekend. Most of the time it was possible to find a new station calling CQ immediately after completing a QSO with previous one. Only at the very end of the contest it was difficult to find more stations to work. I called CQ in JT sometimes too but during the last weekend it resulted no QSO. As my 2m & 70cm elevation is limited by 35 degrees my operating time on these bands was limited as well. SDR-s and MAP65 are great tools to be able to find stations during unassisted operation. Here is the summary of stations worked on all 6 bands all modes and all 3 weekends (duplicates not removed from the lists): Total number of QSO-s was 221 with total number multipliers of 132. 144 MHz: 67 QSO-s, 14 CW/53 JT, mult.= 36 SM2CKR, LA8YB, OK1MS, K1JT, RA6DA, DK8ZJ, AD4TJ, HB9Q, RW9USA, JR3REX, JM1GSH, VK3AXH, IK3MAC, F0CXO, IK1FJI, K9MRI, IK1UWL, EB1DNK, IK7EZN, PA3CMC, F1FLA, PA5MS, 7K3LGC, UA3PTW, W0PT, K6JEY, NT0V, HA8CE, SV8CS, DK3WG, DL9MS, RZ4HF, PA3ECU, WW8M, W4ENN, VE7DXG, KL7UW, OK7FA, DF2ZC, WA6PY, SP7DCS, K6PF, OZ1HNE, K6MYC, RL3BM, JO1LVZ, JE1TNL, UN7GK, YT3I, SV1BTR, OK1UGA, GM6VXB, RV3YM, CN8LI, F6APE, S52LM, ZL3TY, LZ1DP, ES6RQ, VK2KU, JM1WBB, OM3BC, OH7PI, PA3DOL, OY4TN, EA2ASB, UA4AQL 432 MHz: 30 QSO-s, 20 CW/10 JT, mult.=21 HB9Q, K1JT, OK1KIR, I1NDP, SM2CEW, OZ4MM, VK3UM, JJ1NNJ, JA5NNS, DJ1KJG, DL7APV, KL6M, SV1BTR, DL9KR, G3LTF, K3MF, F6HP, PI9CAM, K1JT, K7XQ, DL2NUD, OK1POI, SP6JLW, SD3F, SM4IVE, OK1CA, JA5NNS, SV3AAF, LZ1DX, DF3RU, W7AMI, UA3PTW 1296 MHz: 76 QSO-s, 70 CW/6 JT, mult.=42 UT5JCW, RA3AQ, SP6JLW, RD3YA, JA4BLC, DL0SHF, DF3RU, SV3AAF, LZ1DX, LZ2US, PA3FXB, UA9UHN, G4DZU, LA9NEA, K2DH, IQ4DF, SD3F, PY2BS, ON4BCB, F5JWF, N0OY, IW2FZR, OH2DG, OE5JFL, HB9SV, SM6FHZ, OK1DFC, W6YX, K1JT, VA7MM, AL7RT, VK3NX, IK3COJ, G3LTF, IZ1BPN, HB9MOON, HB9BBD, UA3PTW, JH5LUZ, DL3EBJ, HB9Q, OH0/DL1YMK, SP7DCS, OK1KIR, OE9ERC, OK3RM, OZ4MM, K5JL, VE6TA, VE4SA, SV1BTR, W5LUA, NA4N, PI9CAM, K8EB, WW2R, G4CCH, VE3KRP, VK3UM, JA6AHB, OZ6OL, JA8ERE, HB9MOON, RW3PX, UT2EG, YO8BCF, VE3KRP, W3HMS, K5GW, F5JWF, VK5MC, F2TU, CT1DMK, G3LQR, DL4MEA, DF1SR, W4OP, DL6SH 2300 MHz: 39 QSO-s, 37 CW/2 SSB, mult.=24 PA0BAT, OH2DG, SP6OPN, SV3AAF, LZ1DX, SV1BTR, G3LTF, HB9Q, PI9CAM, OK1CA, OK1KIR, IK2RTI, F5KUG, SP6GWN, SD3F, DL4MEA, K1JT, PY2BS, F2TU, OE9ERC, W5LUA, W7JM, WD5AGO, W9IIX, K5GW, JA8IAD, G4CCH, DL3EBJ, RK3WWF, K8EB, DF3RU, OZ4MM, IW2FZR, LA9NEA, PA3DZL, SM2CEW, K7XQ, WA6PY, NA4N, OE9ERC 5760 MHz: 5 QSO-s, all CW, Mult.= 5 OK1KIR, VK3NX, F2TU, PI9CAM, CT1DMK 10368 MHz: 4 QSO-s, all CW, mult.=4 WA6PY, DL0SHF, IQ4DF, ON5TA Many thanks for all the QSO-s and hope to meet you soon again on EME. 73, Viljo ES5PC From Bruinier at t-online.de Thu Dec 10 11:01:00 2009 From: Bruinier at t-online.de (Johann Bruinier) Date: 10 Dec 2009 10:01 GMT Subject: [Moon] ARRL 70cm CW at DL9KR Message-ID: <1NIfqU-13mGLQ0@fwd08.aul.t-online.de> Again, this contest was fun with the usual ingredients of condx ranging from extraordinary to mediocre, op's sleepiness, phases of very adverse WX, and increasing tree blockage.

The event will be held at the Weston Hotel near the Dallas Ft.Worth airport in Irving. We just recently held Microwave Update at this hotel and the service, rooms and conference facilities were excellent. Hotel details as well as website check-in details will be forthcoming after the first of the year. In keeping with tradition, the conference will primarily concentrate on EME on the 432 MHz and above bands. At this point, I have several speakers already signed up but we are still actively pursuing talks and papers on various aspects of EME communication. This includes topics such as dish design and feed systems, yagi antenna design, low noise receiving techniques, higher power solid state and tube amplifier design, TWTs, EME expeditions, tracking the moon, evaluating system performance and EME QSO procedures just to name a few. We are also interested in articles for the proceedings even if you are not going to present it at the conference. The ARRL will be publishing the proceedings. If you are interested in presenting, I would like to hear back from you by the end of December. Please reply to w5lua at sbcglobal.net .The deadline for papers will be mid June. The technical talks will be presented on both Friday and Saturday the 13th and 14th of August. While we are enjoying the technical talks, tours will be available by air conditioned buses for the spouses on both Friday and Saturday. We are also planning a tour of the Ft.Worth area on Thursday for both hams and spouses. So plan on arriving by Wednesday evening to take full advantage of all planned activities. Further information as well as schedule information will be posted on the North Texas Microwave Society www.ntms.org by the first of the year.

This contest we made multioperator effort with my son SP7MC on 3 band (2m, 70cm and 23cm) cw random unassisted eme. Luckily this year WX was very cooperative in SP what is not very common for december. Extremly low degradation on 2m during second weekend was a good chance to make a lot of qsos, unfortunatelly I did not happen due to very low activity. I have impression that I can not fully use the potencial of my 16x8el yagi array nowadays when I can get even 25dB echos (in good moments without Faraday) but it seems it does not atract too many stations. Anyway bunch of contacts were made and some QRP single yagi stations worked. On 70cm we worked mainly in the night to avoid TVI. I am really satisfied with 18qso with modest 4x25el yagi setup and 500W. Additional problem was some pulse interferences that sometimes made my RX in trouble. Thanks goes to VK3UM and SV1BTR for their patience during qsos. Doug, I had to call you again this weekend as I just had no final RRR during first weekend qso. I am happy that this time we did it. Not worked but called were JA5NNS and SM6FHZ. Hope for better luck next time. 23cm was amazing again. Even with small system of 3m dish and 500W I was able to hear a lot of stations. I could hear more but I was not heard. Finally we ended with 59 qsos on 23cm with limited time on that band due to activity on other bands. Total multiband qso count is 120 cw qsos plus some duplicates (not listed) in two weekends of operation.

On 1296 MHz JT65C we worked at 03:41 IK5QLO (-18/O) #52, 03:59 UA3PTW (-12/O) #53 )2x QSO in contest), 06:31 LU1C (-19/O) #54, 06:43 SP3XBO (-22/O) #55, 07:42 RW6AG (-11/O) and 20:56 JA1WQF (-17/-14). We decoded signals of K8EB and W3HMS as well. Our total count on 1296 MHz is 81 QSO x 38 multipliers. Monday December 7th On 1296 MHz JT65C - EA3XU heard us -23 dB and we worked at 00:43 JA6AHB (-9/-12). ARRL EME Contest 2009 results are on 2300 MHz 31 QSOs x 25 multipliers, on 3400 MHz 6 QSOs x 5 multipliers, on 5760 MHz 10 QSOs x 7 multipliers and on 10368 MHz 10 QSO x 9 multipliers. Total score is 164 QSOs x 103 multipliers, 1 689 200 points. We are very happy that in ARRL EME Contest we worked on all bands new initials and some new DXCC as well. We think that all MW bands in a single weekend are not the best solution. We would prefer similar split like in European EME Contest.

If you have not seen it take a look at this article by GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/eme/pol4.htm . Polarisation rotation is not essential BUT it does make a big difference. I have a dish so its quite easy to rotate the feed by a small motor, however I did for a while have a sucessful 4 yagi system which I rotated from the rear and several people ( including GM3SEK) have built systems like this using up to 16 + yagis. The idea is to use shorter yagis on a back frame so it can be rotated. I appreciate if its up at the top of a big tower its not easy but if the system is low down then its worth thinking about. I also have seen somewhere a system with 2 yagis mounted side by side and a sort of "windscreen wiper" mechanism for moving the polarisation H to V Two sets of elements on the same boom can be made to work, I'm sure, but I dont recall anyone in recent years actually doing it . Because the losses and any additional sidelobes all contribute noise ( as the sky temperature is low) then it does need a lot of care in implementation. BUT....as Guenter said, EA3DXU had a 2 yagi fixed polarisation system on 432 at one time and he made many QSOs with it. I look forward to working you on 432.

Great IF DSP filtering with easy bandwidth change and additional audio DSP filtering. (50Hz to 5000 Hz bandwidth) QRG stability is also very good on all modes. You should take a TS2K from 2008 or younger. Kenwood did change all amplifiers from transistors to mitsubishi mosfets. Older ones sometimes have problems with 2SC1972 (<50 MHz/2m) driver transistors or 2SC3102 70cm finals. These transistors are not produced any longer by mitsubishi semiconductor. http://www.mitsubishichips.com/Global/products/hf/index.html Also 23cm module was redesigned due to low bias problems with RA18H1213G final module delivering sometimes distorted SSB signals.

It sounded very, very strong. They are equipped with an SSPA 200 watts behind the dish reflector, OK1DFC feed in the prime focus of 18m mesh dish, HB9BBD LNA. TS-2000 is installed behind the dish and remotely controlled from the operation desk in the shack 60m away from the antenna pedestal. Still they need to have an inspection by telecom officials for the actual operating license, which would probably be in early January. SRI to write that JAXA has refused our 5.7G transmission. Mitsubishi engineers as well as JAXA engineers have a strong fear that amateur's 5.7G transmission might cause a damage to JAXA's ground station near-by. There has been no evidence of such interferences occur, but their simulations say so. Already 8J1AXA has installed their 5.7G antenna and full equipments in position. So your echos might be heard by 18m dish, at least. For 5.7GHz, 40 watts SSPA at gregorian feed horn, a round septum feed with a conical horn, and Kuhne transverter and LNA. All of them are installed in the antenna feed section. Mike JH1KRC finally got his microwave EME license for 5.7GHz 500 watts and 10.45GHz 300 watts, Dec. 08, 2009. Thanks to PA3CSG for the Ku-bandpass filter which covers 10.45G, and another thanks to F5RYZ for the TWT supply. Since the 4.4m dish is fed with waveguides, the tracking range is very limited. Presently the antenna is pointed to west, but the AZ gear bits the chain and cannot rotate. Actual operation on both bands would begin in the next year 2010. Have a nice holiday season and enjoy EME!!

In fact it was data to remote command a pianist ;-) After all not too different from data to remote command an antenna rotor... mine when telecommanded make a cracky sound !!!

Due to a longstanding commitment I missed the second moon pass on the final contest weekend. I've just now returned from a most enjoyable trip to India, hence this belated report... Once again we operated as a multi-op entry, using the K1JT station on 144 MHz and the K2UYH station (signing K1JT) on higher bands. This year we added the 3.4G band, but unfortunately some last-minute equipment problems kept us from making QSOs on 10G this year. Our totals were: Band QSO/Mult -------------- 144 161/65 432 50/31 1296 73/41 2.3G 29/24 3.4G 7/7 -------------- Total: 320/168 As usual, we found a number of things that we could have done better. Nevertheless, it was again a very enjoyable contest! -- 73 to all from K1JT, K2UYH, and guest ops K2TXB, K1DS, K2BMI, and K2QM From bpaloma at telefonica.net Wed Dec 23 13:25:16 2009 From: bpaloma at telefonica.net (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Benjamin_Pi=F1ol?=) Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:25:16 +0100 Subject: [Moon] Happy new year Message-ID: <50844DBB7CCC41A5AEA9321E5E7ACD3A@ea3xu0badcac9a> Thank all for the many moon JT65 test during 2009, at 144/432/1296 MHz.

This year I made some nice QSOs inspite of rare time. Xmastime is also a very good time to send out missing QSLs... I sent out QSLs for every 1. contact. Hope for more time and contacts in 2010. 73 Dietmar DL7UDA From i5wbe at i5wbe.it Thu Dec 24 00:11:24 2009 From: i5wbe at i5wbe.it (Enrico Baldacci) Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:11:24 +0000 Subject: [Moon] WORLD WIDE EME MARATHON 2009 Message-ID: <4B32A39C.1030404@i5wbe.it> WORLD WIDE EME MARATHON 2009 ----------------------------- Sponsored by the Italian Radio Amateur Association - A.

Vy 73 de Matej OK1TEH, Vlada OK1VPZ and whole OK2KKW club From joe at Princeton.EDU Fri Dec 25 02:52:48 2009 From: joe at Princeton.EDU (Joe Taylor) Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 20:52:48 -0500 Subject: [Moon] ARRL EME Contest Message-ID: <4B341AF0.1010402@princeton.edu> To all who made EME QSOs during the three weekends of the 2009 ARRL International EME Competition: Whatever you did, and however you did it, please submit your log to ARRL, and your comments to the online "Soapbox" page at http://www.arrl.org/contests/soapbox/?con_id=186 If you have a comment about the rules for the 2009 event, either pro or con, by all means say so -- and remember that your opinion carries much more weight if you have submitted a log. Keep in mind that with the continuing worldwide sale of spectrum, our frequencies are very much at risk. Those who will be arguing Amateur Radio's case -- importantly, including representatives sent by ARRL -- need to be able to point to EME operation in large numbers as a significant international use of the VHF/UHF/microwave spectrum. In order to prove this point, they need to be able to reference things like the growing numbers of people using the amateur bands for EME. Contest results are an excellent quantitative record of our use of the frequencies. The Galileo (European GPS-like) system hasn't gone away -- and if it did, the Chinese are ready to take the slot. We need to be able to point to heavy and increasing usage of the 23 cm band, so that it must be taken into account in the receiver designs. The message is simple: submit an EME contest entry and help hold on to our EME bands! Special note to those who operated with logger assistance, "just for fun", during the EME contest: The reasons given above apply to you just as much as to those who operated under the contest's rules. If you count yourself among those who would like to have a competitive operating event in which assistance is allowed, please submit your log as a Checklog and let KX9X, the Contest Branch Manager, know why you are doing so. Complete details on submitting your log can be found at: http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2009/eme.html. Scoring is QSO points (100 points for each complete EME contact) multiplied by number of DXCC countries (http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/dxcclist.txt) plus US states and Canadian provinces (K1JT = Nj, K9MRI = In, VE5UF = Sk, etc). Multiply QSO point total by the sum of multipliers worked from each band. Entries must be emailed or postmarked no later than 2359 on Tuesday, 5 Jan and must include complete log data as well as an official ARRL EME Contest Summary Sheet. Official forms are available on the ARRL Web at http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/ or with a SASE request to the Contest Branch. No other forms of the summary sheet will be accepted. Each line of QSO data in the log should contain band, mode, date and time in UTC, call sign of station worked, exchange sent, exchange received, and each new multiplier. Photocopies of the log form and official Summary Sheet are acceptable. Logs should be emailed to EMEcontest at arrl.org and hand-written paper logs or diskettes mailed to: EME Contest, ARRL, 225 Main St, Newington, CT 06111 USA.
