 Hi Frank!

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.

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

Message-ID: <42655.217.10.60.85.1259828185.squirrel@intern.netexpress.de>

Hello friends,

I will definitly be QRV on 23cm, and post probable also on 70cm.

Saturday 0200UT-0900UT 70cm for western window (if I get it runnning)
Saturday 1930UT-2230UT 70cm (to catch VK3UM and others)

Sunday 0200UT-1000UT 23cm
Sunday 2100UT-2230UT 23cm (70cm if VK3UM was not worked before)

On 70cm, I cannot easily change my feed, but let me see...
(here I use a GS35b + CT1DMK ring feed)

On 23cm, I brought somehow by some improvements/repairs/changes power back
to my TH347, so I can do 750W at the feed or so. Thanks to those who
helped! I now just have problems with G2 supply vs. current, but that
cannot be solved before the contest.
(here I use a round septum feed with chapparal choke)

I most probably will not be on any logger, since operating itself keeps me
enough busy.

Else: 4.5m dish f/D=0.32, 0.3dB NF, FT847, Spectran-Waterfall

Hi,

SP7DCS will be qrv on cw random unassisted on 3 bands - 2m, 70cm and 
23cm this weekend.

Operators: Chris SP7DCS, Maciek SP7MC

We do hope to make a lot of qsos on all bands. Degradation looks to be 
extremly low on 2m so I would like to encourage small stations to try 
some CW. I also hope for more 70cm activity than in first weekend.

Equipment:
2m   - 16 x 8el Hpol + gs35b
70cm -  4 x 25el Hpol + 500W SSPA at shack
23cm -  3m dish + 500W SSPA at RA3AQ feed

Good luck to all,
VY 73 !!! de Chris SP7DCS

Moonbounce friends:

I will be qrv cw random on 2m-70cm-23cm during ARRL last leg of Dec.  
5/6 (if all systems work at the eme qth which i have not visited since  
microwave leg).

This will most probably be my last EME Contest activity for coming 2-3 years.
I therefore look forward to hear and work new and old friends.

These vy sudden news have been a major change of moonbounce activity  
and ongoing progress of new ants & bands for me. As qrl transfers me  
to China & Hong Kong for that time period.
If any change of qrl news, and/or if in the meantime I can ever be qrv  
in my rare short visits to SV, I will let you know.

of activity on the band. 

 

Good luck and a lot of fun to all.

Fully agree, please, if you haven't worked the bigger ones, and think the
band is dead, please call CQ. A waterfall is a good methode to detect even
the weakest station, and while you are calling CQ there is plenty of time
to catch your call.

"upgrade" of my Icom IC7400 by adding a PLL circuit to phase lock it's  
internal 32 MHz reference frequency to a 10MHz rubidium clock. And just an  
hour ago finished installation of a new feed (RA3AQ design) and preamp  
(G4DDK design) at my 23cm dish setup. I hope to see some improvements of  
my station preformance now.

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 will be much more  
likely that you can work me if you frequently call CQ. I will not be  
online on any loggers.

My setup:

2m: 4 x 5wl M2 H-Pol, 1KW, Rx NF about 0.5dB
70cm: 4 x 9wl M2 H-Pol, 1KW, Rx NF about 0.5dB
23cm: 4.5m dish, RA3AQ feed, G4DDK preamp, NF about 0.27dB, SSPA 300W

GL in the Contest!

Message-ID: <004001ca7535$b898ab50$6401a8c0@Office>

Hello 2m EME Friends:

I plan to be QRV on 2m, CW, random, unassisted this weekend.  Here's my 
estimated times based on moonrise in Southern Calif.

5 Dec - 0400z thru my EU window which  looks like it ends ~1000z.  I will 
listen ~1400z for any JA activity
6 Dec - 0500z thru my EU window which  looks like it ends ~1030z.

Degradation vy low & terrestrial noise not too bad when I checked this 
afternoon.  So, hope to make many new contacts.  Once my moon gets to ~20 
deg EL, I'll try calling CQ (between 144.040 - .060) much more than I did 
during the 1st weekend of contest.

GL & vy 73,

I will be QRV again on my moonrise @ Dec 06 0500 UTC. Primary bands 432
CW, then 1296 CW.  Last night was QRV 432 only for a short while due to
QRL commitments. Stations worked and echoes were the loudest I have ever
heard. Hope the same for tonight.

Hello All,

I'm sorry to report that i will not be qrv in the 2nd leg of the contest.

1st leg, i was in qsy in F, so could not participate.

Now here in FR, but having some main voltage problems,... 220v in and 
out, due to .... strike!!

I don't want to take any risk with the PA, so i'm off for that part too, 
as main can be off at any time.

I was waiting for the contest, but will be at sleep.

Hope you have good cdx and enjoy!

Hi Folks;   Got my E-mailer running????

I have my TS-2000 available for sale to the EME community ONLY.
This includes a DEMI 3rd Generation 23cm 3W Transverter and input 
attenuator pad, and phase locked PLL external VCXO that have remained 
locked to 5 years, hi

The 2000 has had an 8 pole 10Mhz ruffing filter installed and 
separate SMA RX Inputs on 144 & 432 Mhz, (NO HOLES DRILLED AT ALL), 
with it is also the Service Jumper Kit as well.

Any one that has worked me on 6cm, 23cm & 70cm has heard the 
rig.  One owner (ME) and used once on 80HF a few time on 50Mhz.  Very 
reasonable price and if you find a problem with it I will buy it back.

If you have any question, or want images, contact me directly at the 
address above, or here ve1alq at nbnet.nb.ca

Regards, Thanks & Happy Holidays to EVERYONE,  XMAS or otherwise, Darrell

Hi all

I will be qrv cw random on 2m & 70cm, Dec. 6  2110-0000  in last part of ARRL EME Contest 3rd leg. Hope for some better activity (especially on 2m which was devastating till now, this last day).

I apologize for suddenly not being qrv at all on 23cm this last weekend, having missed all the fun & action.
But when i tried to rotate the dish in azimuth when contest started, nothing was moving. Yesterday morning i  took out the rotor motor and realized it is dead for unknown reason. Tough luck!

So after painful night he is going to sleep.

Last night I broke bits at the 2m/70cm antenna after getting frustrated with the malfunctioning azimuth rotor. I will try to make repairs now (it is dark already).

If successful I will be on later for the last few hours as I still miss quite a few stations from my log. Otherwise I will only show up on 23cm.

Hi all
I to get my share of problems, when moon was in south my PA went QRT it blew all 16A fuses in the incoming wall supply, so thats the reason i was not on during last night/ this morning window. I have spent whole day reparing the screen/ bias supply and some other parts as well.
Im not sure about the status of the Tube if it`s still alive or not, i will whait with smoke test until moon rises here. Maybe all the fuses will blow again, and that would not be popular when my wife watching TV :-))
So lets keep our fingers crossed that it surrvived.

Hello 2m EME Friends:

I was QRV on 2m CW for 4 hrs on 5 Dec & worked 7 stations including 2 new CW 
initials (#).  Had vy noisy condx even with low degradation.  Stations 
worked were:  YO2AMU, SM7GVF (#218), WA6PY, SM2CEW, DK3EE, IK1FJI, & ES5PC 
(#219).  Spent more time calling CW & 6 of the 7 stations worked were 
answers to my CQ.  My apologies to anyone calling me who I didn't hear.

I listened for awhile on 6 Dec, even with moon EL up to 30 deg but had 
terrible noise.  Vy frustrating when degradation was below 0.9dB.  Vy poor 
echos & only heard LA8YB & SV1BTR calling CQ.  No other signals heard. Since 
I couldn't keep awake, I gave up & got some needed sleep.  I'm ready to move 
out to the country & get away fm my high noise level.

I was operational in most the first pass but on the second I had to stop at 0200 on 6th December due to very strong winds starting up. I had planned to go on 144 in that period. I did get on 432 again for a couple of hours before moonset but it was very quiet. I was on 1296 for the third and final pass but with a lot of tree blockage.  At the start of the contest the 432 conditions were as good as I have ever heard in many, many years on eme, I really thought someone was trying to fool me with the strength and steadiness of the echoes!!
Stations added in this final leg were 
432MHz YO2IS, LZ1DX, SP7DCS, SM4IVE, DL4MEA, UA6LGH, W8TXT, NC1I, HB9Q, SM6FHZ, # IK2RTI,# I never did find PI9CAM!
1296MHz DL6SH, IK2RTI, RW3PX, UT2EG, VK3NX, JA8IAD, UR5LX, SM6CSO#, RW6AG, DF1SR, CT1DMK, G4RGK, SM3JQU, YO8BCF.
LX1DB, JA6CZD. Heard were OE9ERC, JA4LJB (and I5QLO on his sked with OE9ERC)
 Totals are 44 on 432 and 87 on 1296. Thanks to all for the excellent QSOs. I urge everyone who took part to put in an entry.

Hi all,
I took part in last week contest only on 432 MHz
with my 5,7m long yagi and with power of 360W
in JT65 and 530W in CW at my antenna feed
(coax attenuation = -1,34dB). I was QRV without any
connection to internet and worked in JT65 (without SDR):
DL7APV and LZ1DX, and in CW SM4IVE.

I heard in CW I1NDP + LZ1DX, but signals
were only about "T/M" copy so I didn't call them, sri guys.

SM4IVE produced "beacon" signal during whole
weekend and on Saturday I heard DL9KR 559fb,
but I didn't call Jan as I worked him in 1st leg.

Except mentioned stations I saw on Spectran several CW signals
(not birdies l-) which were too weak for my brain decoder.

PS: I'm still looking for a new CW or JT65 stations,
the smallest QSO in JT65 remains to be UA4AQL 2x26el LY + 600W

Leif, do you mean the RG58 becomes saturated by signales received with
that much gain? Maximum power exceeded or so? Wish I would have THAT

Hi All.



Sleeping only 3 hours on Saturday and Sunday (after very taired of look up 
and down of  frequency, ....... only HB9Q in 23cm and 70cm )

Congrats to HB9Q team. very good bicom of moon conditions.



My activity only in JT65 mode:



23cm HB9Q very stronge all time.

I copy: K8EB, PY2BS try but NO QSO



70cm HB9Q, DL7APV, HB9Q, DK3WG, LZ1DX, DL7UDA (new), UA3PTW, DL2NUD and K3MF

Copy: W5RZ, K1JT, W7MEM try but NO QSO



The conditions very good in saturday I copy my 70cm echo in speaker, during 
60? elevation ( attenci?n 2x21 + 750w )



I think in JT65 mode, outside chat support, the small stations can not enjoy 
the contest.





Conditions here:

Barcelona city, JN11CK 170m asl.

70cm:

Antenna 2x21 elemts in H

Tx: IC-910 H + P.A. GS31B (750W max) + HF 400 Relay + Tx line 15m. ECOFLEX 
15

Rx: IC-910 H + Cavity Filter + Preamp SSB + CX250 D Relay + Rx line 15m. 
ECOFLEX 15



23cm:

Antenna 8x35 elemts in H

Tx: IC910 H + P.A. 2C39BA ( >90W ) + HF 400 Relay + Tx line 15m. ECOFLEX 15

I found it very interesting to read Peter G3LTF report regarding 
conditions over the weekend.
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.

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.

GL 73,
Petros Giogkatzis ? sv3aaf

Hi all

I was qrv for little time on moonrise 5th/6th but with no success of qso.
Sutarday I heard DL7APV  OZ4MM  DL9KR.called them several times but no 
luck also they had traffic at that time.
Sunday heard JA5NNS for the first time, VK3UM ,SM4IVE ,SV1BTR nice 
signal Jimmy this time.
I know that 100w it is very qrp so hope for better luck next time.
BTW who likes a sked on cw only at the moment not to much busy with qrl

Hello

In the arrl cw single operator i collect 45 random qso and 23 multi.38 qso first leg and 7 in the second, i think is better have only one week end.....because the second leg is from now many years wasted time...so i was active for no? much hours.
Anywhere was great some moment seein a lot of stations calling cq in the range of 040? 060? CW slot....but the stations were always the same !!!? :-)
I am quite? glad of my result....the best was 125 random qso? some years ago....but always fun and big trill have CW qso off the moon.

Aloha to all

In last leg I operated only on 2m & 70cm. 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

Subject: [Moon] ARRL EME Contest summary by ES5PC
Message-ID: <op.u4oz7ya8wh7qej@mail1.telia.com>

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.

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 yield was about 50 pct as compared with the nineties but proves that 70cm still is up & running.

Many thanks to my QSO/CWNR partners!

Hi all!
it was nice to be back on the road again, it was ONLY 12 years since i last 
participated in an EME contest.
Condx was very shifting with fast polarisation shift,. And as always 
strongest on the band DL9KR  peaking 10db over S9.
I was QRV from 0000 on saturday morning until my moonset on saturday, and 
from moonrise untill 02.00 local when my PA suddenly flashed over and all 3 
x16A fuses in the incoming wall  blew,
So here did my saturday window to USA end.,  i went to bed and waked upp at 
07.00 and decided to check what happend to the OLD amp, The whole G1 & G2 
supply was brokend, so i had to repair and it toked me half day to get it 
going again.
Was on sunday moonrise and worked a couple of new ones.    at a total of =

I have not dicided if i should submite my log,
I will be on next activity week end if all goes well.

Subject: [Moon] 2010 EME Conference in Dallas Ft.Worth, Texas
Message-ID: <9E67661EE2D147B8A678B86AFD0197A0@Al1>

Hello EMEers

This is a First Call for Papers for the 14th International EME Conference to
be held in Dallas, Texas on August 12, 13, and 14th in 2010.  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 <http://www.ntms.org/>  by the
first of the year. 

 

Best Regards

Al Ward W5LUA w5lua at sbcglobal.net

Message-ID: <4b21fbf5379658.49610406@wp.pl>

Hi,
At first I would like to thank all friends for qsos and good fun.
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.

Log (both weekends):

144MHz 43qso (16 x 8el + gs35b):

Hello All,

December part of ARRL EME Contest at OK1KIR.

We worked 549/549 PA3DZL as #98 on 2320 MHz at 20:21 on Friday December 4th before the contest started.

Saturday December 5th
On 432 MHz we worked CW at 00:18 SM4IVE (579/559), 01:44 SD3F (559/549), 03:44 K0RZ (559/449), 04:02 K1RQG (569/569), 04:23 UA6LGH (549/559), 04:36 DL4MEA (549/O), 05:03 NC1I (589/579), 05:13 DG1KJG (549/549) #370 and 06:31 N4GJV (O/O). Our total score on 432 MHz is 
26 QSOs x 19 multipliers.

On 1296 MHz JT65C we worked at 20:02 VK2JDS (-15/O), 20:12 YO2BCF (-13/-9), 21:06 PA3FXB (-13/O) and 21:12 PE1HNG (-18/-16).

Sunday December 6th
On 1296 we worked CW at 00:48 DF1SR (559/559) # 288, 00:55 G3LQR (559/559), 01:21 DL6SH (549/549) # 289, 02:06 G4RGK (549/549), 04:10 UA3PTW (559/569) # 290, 05:09 K5GW (589/569), 05:25 VE3KRP (559/559), 05:37 W5LUA (579/569), 05:42 W4OP (569/579), 05:52 DL4MEA (569/559), 05:58 VE4SA (559/549) # 291 and EO field, 07:10 F5JWF (559/569), 07:22 N2UO (549/559), 07:28 W9IIX (559/559), 08:35 WA6PY (569/559),20:32 VK3UM (569/559) a 23:43 JA6CZD (569/569). We heard in QSO with other station JA4LJB, SM3JQU and LX1DB but we didnot work them.

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.

Thanks for all QSO and see you on the Moon

Hi!guys i am using selsyn motors for my elevation as a  stby system. they 
are 24 volts 400hz they work with 6.3 volts AC & i never worried  about the 
freq.Now i operate on 144mhz  EME & the accuracy of my aiming is not nearly 
as demanding as on 1296 & above.Having said that Gary with 24 antennas on 
144mhz needs serious tracking accuracy as well. Certainly less than 3 
degrees.Anyway that is really off the topic.

Hello EMErs,

since I'm bound to build a new antenna system for 70cm
and my 
experience on 70cm EME is quite "marginal" I wonder
whether it worths to build 
a system with polarity "switching".
(I have in mind 2 x 22+22el 8wl ik0bzy).


Any susggestion will be welcome.

Thanks

 Hi Enrico,  The Faraday rotation situation on 432MHz can be quite difficult 
and there can be long periods when it does not change much. 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.

Subject: [Moon] Photos database of EME antennas - next update
Message-ID: <F92E1BEB5FAA44BE931FC0794CDBA888@PCLoggia>

Dear EMErs,

Today, there are more than 140 photos of antennas into the database covering
the EME bands from 6m to 1.2cm. 

 <http://picasaweb.google.com/papatoux> http://picasaweb.google.com/papatoux


The goal of this database is to display (during a QSO or not) the photo of
the antenna and the location of a DX station. Of course, the database can
also be browsed with other tools like EME System and Google Earth at any
moment. See example on my web site.

 

>>>>>>  I have planned to do a new package at the end of the 2009 year
<<<<<<<<

 

If you wish to add your antenna's photo, please send it via email + info as
indicated below:

- a photo of your antenna (1 per band) ( better than 640*480 pxl - 1280 *
960 is preferred)

- a comment / title of this photo (ex : F6KSX 3cm - 3.3m dish)

- latitude and longitude of the antenna (if you wish) **

- your grid square (locator)

- the nearest city to check the location of the photo

- web site ?

 

Find more information on my web site at the "download" page

 

Thank you. I wish you a happy Christmas period.

Best 73.

JJ F1EHN

 <http://www.f1ehn.org/> http://www.f1ehn.org 

 

** Because a few people asked me about that, you can keep "secret" the exact
position of your antenna with giving only the grid square or approximated

lat/lon (like for a QSO or QSL card or current web site info)....

Hello Viggo!

Toshiba semiconductor part numbers are "talking codes". 
"TM" = Toshiba Microwave,
"1414" = 14,0 GHz lower QRG limit + 14,5 GHz upper QRG limit, 
"-2" = 2W output power.
Have a look at this:
http://www3.toshiba.co.jp/snis/ovs/des/micro/prod/prodlist/semicon/d-sheet/TIM1414-2L.pdf
and this:

Hi Viggo,

Sometimes ago, I was given a Z1414-4 (NEC equivalent to the TIM1414-4) and I tried it on a PCB made by DB6NT for his 10 GHZ 4 W PA.
After heavy stubbing, I got only 2,5 W out and maybe 4 dB gain, if I remember well.

Dear Alvaro,

TS2000 is a great TRX on EME.
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.

Best 73s and gl

Thanks to all !!

Many thanks for all reply on my question abt the Torsiba TIM 1414-4, and TIM 1414-2., I understand this devices only work in the 13,5......14.5 G range., and not  recomended for amateur service in 10 ghz band.

The SSPA I have with this power devices have 3 x TIM 1414-4 in the final stage, and 1 x 1414-2 in the driver stage.Me and the '' weak signal group'' will put a 10  ghz signal  on the input side of this amp first coming weekend, and if some of you want to know the result of this I will let you know. Reason for this try is that the line's are '' full '' of ''snow flake trimmers'', so someone have tryed something here..........

Message-ID: <20091219021114.COY24930.nskntotgx03p.mx.bigpond.com@Tikaluna.bigpond.com>

Gentlemen
Some time ago I was asked (along with 11 other CW 
EME operators) to participate in decoding CW off the Moon.
Well this was a little different to the average QSO.

The concept was developed by Katie Paterson who 
is not the run of the mill musician or anything else as you
can see from this 
link 
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/article3628387.ece

"For this work, Beethoven?s Moonlight Sonata has 
been translated into Morse code
and sent to the moon via E.M.E. Returning to 
earth ?fragmented? by the moon?s surface, it has
been re-translated into a new score, the gaps and 
absences becoming intervals and rests.
In the exhibition space the new 'moon?altered' 
score plays on a Disklavier grand piano. "

Well we all copied the CW and sent our "score" 
(in plain text) back to the "coordinator for transmissions" Peter G3LTF
who then on-forwarded our "messages" back to 
Katie who then put them together and the resultant music can be heard on
http://www.katiepaterson.org/EME/listen.html

On this link you will hear a sample of the CW we 
were asked to decode and the resultant end product music as well as
the other facets of her experiment. I have no 
idea of the encoding method she used as you will find when you decode the CW.

I certainly have no ear for music but we all must 
have copied the CW  pretty well the end product 
"sounds ok" ? There are a couple
of minor "holes" .. I will take the blame for those (maybe) ?

Enjoy ..
Seasons Greetings to you all
regards
Doug and Bev VK3UM

Hello to all,

  8J1AXA got their fist EME echo on 1296MHz this evening 
(Dec. 20) .    
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!!  


                                               (Reports from Mike JH1KRC)

  the other facets of her experiment. I have no idea of the encoding method
she used as you will find when you decode the CW.

  I certainly have no ear for music but we all must have copied the CW
pretty well the end product "sounds ok" ? There are a couple
  of minor "holes" .. I will take the blame for those (maybe) ?

  Enjoy ..
  Seasons Greetings to you all
  regards
  Doug and Bev VK3UM

Gosh,

This isn't a Federal case. W1H/KC3RE simply made some EME CW QSOS to commemorate a famous composer and a wonderful human being. We were an FCC-licensed special-event station doing what we were licensed to do

But-BTW-there are some of us who consider the sound of CW to be beautiful music all in itself.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,

Martin, KC3RE

Mike,

(referring to the original post by Doug)
No music was transmitted only telecommand data
and not cyphered by any means.

so perfectly legal by "exception nr 3".

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 !!! (but I must wait until spring to
make it legal ;-) ... that is to lubricate it... hi hi).

:-)


Merry Christmas to all.

Indeed Martin, CW is the ultimate "performance art" any time, any day!

:-)

Thanks for sharing your Moon-Music story Martin, very interesting.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

PS. For those interested, the files from the Katie Paterson experiment can
be downloaded at http://www.sm2cew.com/g3ltf/g3ltf.html
Each individual file was decoded (by different EME operators) and
transformed back to music by Katie. And yes, the transmissions were legal..

Hi All,

Many thanks to all for the QSOs and good fun in the 2009 
ARRL International EME Competition!

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

Fellow moonbouncers,

The final results of our Dubus 2m CW EME Events are presented at
http://www.sm2cew.com/aw_results.html

Congratulations to all winners, and thanks to all participants! 

There are far more participants in these activities than the ones listed
which proves that 2m CW EME is alive and well!

Dates for the two coming events can be found at
http://www.sm2cew.com/aw_dates.html and more dates/times will be listed as
soon as possible. We are trying to coordinate with other EME activities so
that there are no apparent collisions. 

As usual, reports with interesting pictures are found at
http://www.sm2cew.com/aw_logs.html

Again thanks for participating. And thanks to Dubus Magazine for sponsoring
these fine events, see you all on 2m CW EME in 2010!

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.

With best Season's Greetings to all,

     -- 73, Joe, K1JT

Hi,

Seasons greetings to all!

I've been able to spend a bit of (long overdue) time updating the website over the holiday period.

A new version of the DFS30 is available (at lower cost!), a dedicated FDFS for 66.667MHz (SDR-IQ and -14 locking), and some price reductions on the distribution amplifier and the LC Meter kits.

There's more to come over the next few weeks, especially on the SDR locking side.

73,
Dave

Hello all,

Wish you and yours all the best for 2010.

Become QRV on 70cm EME. 
And be back on 2M EME from other QTH, home QTH is almost impossible due QRM from streetlights (type SON-t, watch out for these lights)
