Message-ID: <95967DBB26034C20A0D0BBEE265E2ED9@lwtshack>

Hi Lunatics,

 

As some of you already figured out Rene PE1L his cq logger is running on a
test base.

On http://www.livecq144.com/  you can see the results  and  you can feed
your own cq input. 

So far its very nice to see/hear positive reactions. NO qso info will or can
be spotted. 

Target: more qso's without passing chat info about running qso. More fun
with hunting on stations that calls cq. More activity 

If you don't like it, don't use it. Its as easy  as it is.

 

 

 

 

Jurgen  PE1LWT

Hello lunatics,


?


After two days of travel by car and 2 ferries we arrived at our ?mystery? DXpedition site. Problems as usual (and expected?): WX is horrible, storm and rain, cold, but we managed to set up the dish as a compromise between a free moon sight and at least some shelter against the wind. So two juniper trees now minimise our moon windows to East and West. To the East our moon window opens with around 115 degrees AZ, to the West it ends around 260 degr. ?And regarding the South, we are happy to have a high moon declination, because there is also a juniper, hi. We hope this compromise helps the dish to survive the next days, because the weather forecast says, that we will get stormy days on the island. 


?


First we didn?t hear our echoes and it was difficult to find the moon until HB9BBD sent his strong signal ? you were the first as usual, Dominique! In the following pile up, we didn?t hear properly, because all signals were somewhat faint ? After 11 QSOs we went outside despite the pouring rain and changed the feed position in the dark ? we had obviously put the 23 feed in the position marked for the 13 cm feed?.hmmm, getting older?.


?


On the first day on 23 cm we worked: HB9BBD (569/579), SV1BTR (559/529), SP6JLW (559/559), VK3UM (559/559), LX1DB (569/569), F2TU (569/549), OK1KIR (549/549), PA3CSG ( 559/539), JA4BLC (549/539), S
M2CEW ( 559/549), JA6AHB (559/549), OZ4MM (569/569), LX1DB (55/53 SSB!), OE9ERC ( 579/579), G3LTF (559/559), SP7DCS ( 549/549), DF3RU (559/559), SM3AKW (559/559), ES5PC (559/549), PA0BAT (539/539), OZ6OL (549/549), UA3PTW ( o/ro), G4RGK (ro/o), DJ9YW (549/549), K1RQG (579/579), 


?


In total we made 25 initials to 17 countries so far. 


?


We hope all enjoyed to decode the call with the prefix of our DXpedition site ? it is really a handful to key?. All QSOs were random, in CW (one in SSB).? 


?


Tomorrow we will change the feed to 13 cm (2320.100 and 2304.100 and 2301.975, only listening). According to the limitation in the moon window we will start around 1900 UTC. If some fellow EMEers make ?noise? on the moon around this time, it would be very much appreciated; it helps us to find the moon quickly.


?

I have followed Petros SV3AAF's advice and opened the SSPA to see what's
inside.

I suspect by the way its constructed that its quite old, but still hoping it
could be useful. 

More photos' are posted on my website -
http://www.g4cch.com/data/station/NEC_6GHz_SSPA/nec_6ghz_sspa_info_reqd.htm

There are 7 stages in total, and the last 3 stages are NEC 45001C + 45003C +
2 x 45003 

I will look try to identify the lower power devices later.

A quick search on google found nil... so if anyone know's anything then
please email me.

Thanks and best 73

Message-ID: <E1MuTMT-000118-Lq@www58.jnb2.host-h.net>

Hi All.

Just a question for advice please.

I have a HV Transformer made by Thordarsen. It's a big bugger and HEAVY.
It has the following Markings:

1510-0-1510
.5 Amp RMS.

On the second secondary tapping I reach 3500V DC easily.

My question is:
Would this transformer run a GS35B 2m/70cm amplifier?
I see on the specs of the GS35B that it requires 1A.

Output power required 1-1.5kw.

Thankyou
John

Message-ID: <8CC13318EC2FAD0-292C-3224B@webmail-m041.sysops.aol.com>

Hello Lunatics,


Due to the limited moon window we have to modify the schedule for the next days. The beginning is much later than estimated previously. So here is the new timetable with the starting time (all times given in UT):


?


5th October 2000 on 9cm


6th October 2030 on 70 cm


7th October 2130


8th October 2200 


9th October 2320 on 70 cm


10th October 2350 on 23 cm


?


For 7th and 8th October we have no band preferences so far. We made a sked on 9cm for 7th October with VK3NX on 2000 UTC, which we have to cancel herewith due to the limited moon window. Concerning the skeds on 5th October for 9 cm we will make new proposals, see next mail. If anyone may have interest in a sked on 7th and 8th October for a particular band, he may drop us a line. Perhaps on 7th October again 13 cm??


?

Message-ID: <8CC1331D4D0CF7E-292C-32285@webmail-m041.sysops.aol.com>

Helo lunatics,


We have to shift all times for the European skeds for 9cm on 5th October. The sked times on 6th October in the morning hours for US will be unchanged. To optimise the chance for us to find the moon as soon as possible, we would again like to start with the strongest stations. So here is the new proposal:


5th October


2000 OK1KIR (VK3NX tail ending if we are ready??)


2030 OK1CA


2100 G3LTF


2130 PA0BAT


2200 DL4MEA (G?nter, if it is too late for you, try tail ending earlier)


?


6th October


0230 W5LUA


0300 WW2R (Dave, we still reserve this sked, if you are able to change the feed)


0400 VE6TA


?


We change to 2,5 min sequences to save time. All home stations first, YMK second. To all: please respect all skeds, only tail ending, if sked is finished or if we call cq.


?

Folks,
The RSGB Convention is this coming weekend. I am just finalising my slides for the VHF/Microwave stream. The title of my talk is 'Achieving DXCC at Microwave'. This is principally about EME.

The reason for choosing this title is that this was originally an HF convention and there will be many HF DX ops in attendance. This is an ideal opportunity to showcase what we do at microwave and particulary what can be achieved on EME. Maybe we will get a few converts from HF and even VHF, once they realise what can be done on these bands.

Thanks to your responses to my previous postings and the DF6NA Toplist, I have a list of what people have scored so far. However, I realise this is already probably out of date. I would be very keen to get an update on your DXCC scores for 23cm and above before the weekend, please.  I haven't heard anything from VK/ZL/JA yet. You must have worked a few DXCC entities by now!

I am sure there have been several new DXCC entities added to all your scores, with all the activity over the summer months, and now the activity from Michael and Monika from .....!

Please help me to ensure this is an up to date list of YOUR achievements for the Convention participants to see on the 10th October.

And you guys in the USA. Remember, I'll be at MUD in a few weeks to ask why I haven't heard from you!

OK, I gotta ask - why all the secrecy about where they are operating from?
This seems to be a comspiracy that everyone is participating in but I have
no clue as to why.  In any case it sure would be nice for us who are not
able to get on, to know where they are.

 Simple answer Russ ... we dont have to enter the call into any 
computer.... we dont have to look on a logger....we dont use our " memory 
list"  of  all the ~ 1000 different calls that we have previously worked on 
EME .... we read it off the radio as it comes.... with our ears and 
brains... its a lot of fun!

Hi Russ,
I don't think there is any secrecy other than the rather interesting idea of encouraging operators to decode their prefix rather than 'guess' at what might have been 'copied'. There can be little doubt that this does excite interest and avoids the 'look up' phenomenon. As the user of a small dish system (2.3m) I found it virtually impossible to 'decode' the prefix they were using on 13cm last night. Far from being upset at this, it made me more detrmined than ever to concentrate on my CW and really try to ensure I copied the callsign correctly. In discussions with another op this morning it transpires that I may even now have got it wrong.
I think that the actual location will be announced after the weekend's contest. 


73 de Sam

Message-ID: <8CC13DD82BAC8CC-9D18-3A98B@webmail-d047.sysops.aol.com>

Hello lunatics,


?


on 23 cm we would like to add several ?stations to our list already published, because during the night we worked successful to the West (mostly). On 4th October between 0000 and 0300 (this means 0600 local time, when we went to bed, hi), we worked:


K5GW (569/569), G4CCH (559/569), ES6RQ (549/549), W7JM (559/559), K5SO (569/569), N0OY (549/549), W7BBM (559/559), W4OP (o/ro), VE6TA (559/559). 


This means in total 33 initials into 23 different DXCCs. Very sorry for those we missed, we heard some stations calling, but were not able to get the full call out of the mud (sri Dave, try again). If a weaker station is interested in a sked, we still have time available on 7th October from 2130 UTC until 8th October 0900 and on 8th October from 2200 until 9th October 1000. 


?


During the night the wind calmed down, so the worst weather seems to be over. One comment we got: ?this godforsaken weather??? ? damned right my friend!


After a breakfast around 1300 local time (ok, it was more a brunch) we changed the feed to 13 cm (with a brand new choke ring for the DFC-septum feed) and optimised the position with the sun noise. Than we put together the 13 cm station with a new PA with ?good? output, which we have never tested for longer than a few minutes ? but survived the rugged DXpedition so far?.


?


Due to th
e limitation in moon window we started on 1900 UT and were very happy to hear our own echoes from the beginning. The dish was standing quiet, no wobbling feed as usual, because one of the junipers gives shelter against the heavy wind from West, which came with the dawn together with a slight drizzle of rain. So the decision to minimise the moon window to get shelter against the wind was just resonable. After a first call the pile up was just overwhelming and we needed quite some time to identify one after the other J


We worked : ES5PC (559/549), SP6OPN (559/559), OK1CA (569/559), OK1KIR (559/549), OZ4MM (569/559), LX1DB (569/569), G4CCH (559/559), HB9Q (569/559), F2TU (569/559), G3LTF (559/559), SM2CEW (549/559), LZ1DX (539/559), PA0BAT (539/539), DF9QX (539/559), LX1DB (55/55, the second band in SSB, fantastic Willi!!), F2TU (54/53, what a surprise to hear a second SSB signal, thank you Philippe!!), G3LQR (539/539), SM3AKW (539/559), OE9ERC (599/589), OE9ERC (56/55, the third station in SSB, Erich, what a fun) ? than waiting for 2 hours until the window to the US opened and we worked: K5GW (559/559), WW2R (o/ro, glad to work you on 13 cm on first shot, Dave), WD5AGO (o/ro, the new dish working fine, Tommy), W5LUA (559/559, in time back from camping, Al!!), VE6TA (559/449, Grant switched the lights off as usual). In total we worked 23 initials to 16 DXCCs, not bad for a portable station in the wilderness with pouring rain and storm, also as usual, hi.

Hello to those, who search the challenge to decode our call with the unknown prefix,


?


thank you to all for the very nice comments we got via mail and for not disclosing, where we are and for not spoiling the fun. It seems to be a real fun for those EMEers, who are searching for the thrill of decoding unknown callsigns with their brain. 


A big compliment to the many stations having decoded our call instantaneously - and to the others: try again, there will be second chance on every band.


?


Today (5th October from 19.45UT) we are on 9 cm (3400.100 MHz, until 6th October 0500), tomorrow (6th October from 2130 or a little bit earlier) on 70 cm (432.045) (until 7th October around 0500). 


On 7th October in the evening we will put again the 13 cm feed in the dish and try with some smaller stations, also in JT 65 C ? of course YMK 1st period?as we are a 100% not in the deep search database ;-)


Available on 7th from 2130 UT


2230 G4DDK (first CW, if unsuccessful JT from 2315)


Next morning 8th of October: 0130 PY2BS (JT)


Any other sked request on JT or CW for this moon window??


?


Let?s have fun, folks!!

Peter,

Don't you think that keeping the pre-fix of the DX station secret is 
a bit unfair to the "No Code" Extra licensees ! ??

Nice Lars!

By the way I still remember your big fat signal on 70cm, years
and years ago just when I got started on 70 and only had a
single 27 el Yagi.
Too bad I?m QRT on 2/70 now, good old days are gone and me too.

Hello,

I am somehow back on EME. Some of you know that I decided to leave my
company after 20 years because headquarter in Finland had decided to move
my department to a far distant city. That meanwhile got completed and I am
working for a new company.

13cm was out of service because I had crashed my box behind the dish and
anyway had decided to make it wider, so that parts fit better into it.
After competion, I restored all, but am getting 3dB less sun noise than
before, even having not changed feed and preamp assembly. Strange, but to
find why. I now have new PA (Andrews UMTS) giving me 225W out and since I
optimized the cable it is hopefully 200W at the feed.

I worked XXX/DL1YMK for first XXX/DL on 13cm.

I missed Michael's 23cm on Sunday because of other activities and need for
sleep.

I was QRV on 9cm yesterday, worked OK1KIR 549/439, heard LX1DB and PA0BAT,
but did not hear neiter see a trace from Michael.

I hope to do some few QSOs on 23cm during the weekend, but I think it is
not the right time to think about a serios participation in the contest
due to some personal commitments and feelings (nothing to do with
CW/WSJT).

73, G?nter (dl4mea)

Message-ID: <8CC1479BD40A505-5A98-BFE4@webmail-m056.sysops.aol.com>

Hi All!

I'd like to save an amplifier stage between my IC-910's UT-910 (1,3 GHz) unit and 4xMRF286 PA. I am sure, that the design engineers at Icom are cautious gamblers, therefore the factory setting the unit is 10W only. However the devices applied could deliver far more.
The unit's PA section applies an M-57762 type Mitsibishi hybrid module driven by a Toshiba 2N2855 and a 2N2854. The Hybrid module's data sheet tells minimum 18W output, while the the driver is a Toshiba 2N2855, capable for 31 dBm (that is 1.25 W), while it's 2N2854 pre-driver for 23 dBm, (that is 200 mW) so insufficient driving power seems to be out of question. 
I found no related note at http://www.mods.dk/ . Has anybody tried and
collected long time positive experiences having set the UX-910 to the
nominal rated power of the Hybrid module or at least to 15W?

It is a small mobile CW station (144: 375W, 2X15 el K1FO; 432: 180W, 2X 28 el M2) but I will be trying to operate at least the first day of the contest, Saturday 10 Oct. Operation is strictly for fun, not competitive, and also to give out West Virginia, FM09, for anybody needing it on 144 and 432.

Expected CQ frequencies, +/- QRM, birdies (CW only,):

432.075

I hope to enjoy working as many stations as possible with this small setup.

Hi gang,


?


due to a vigurous storm front moving in from the West we had to cease 2nites? 70cm operation at 2200UTC unfortunately. We had to tie down the dish with ropes, but is is heavily distorting in the gusts. If we can bring the dish through the night, there will be another chance for 70 cm on Saturday.


Supposed the dish survives the night, we will be on 13 cm 2morrow evening.


We will drop a line to the moon reflector to keep you up to date.

Message-ID: <8CC14F7AF581F20-2144-2B7AE@webmail-d049.sysops.aol.com>

Hi gang,


?


The 5th October was dedicated to our highest and also most problematic band: 9 cm. Fortunately, the weather forecast was wrong, it was a calm evening with bright moonshine, so we could correct the position of the dish optically from time to time by? aiming over the feed to the moon. The beamwidth of our dish on 9 cm is surprisingly narrow (obviously less than 1 degree), so our tracking system was not able to follow the moon with sufficient resolution. Monika was outside every 5 minutes to correct the position of the dish, hi - that?s what 2nd operators are dedicated to, honestly?


Compared to the MI-Dxpedition we had more power now and we thought to have stabilized the frequency by a new 60?C - OCXO, but this point is back on the to-do-list, as Peter, G3LTF, reported, tnx Peter for the hint. We have to handle this ultimately for the next DXpedition?.the winter is long, hi! 


The first 2 skeds failed, because the dish was obviously partly obstructed by a big pine tree, than we found our own echoes even on 9 cm and were able to work OK1CA (o/ro) as the first station. Afterwards, we worked (partly random, partly as sked): LX1DB(o/ro), G3LTF (o/ro), F2TU (o/ro), PA0BAT (o/ro), OK1KIR (o/ro) and after 2 hours of sleep: ?W5LUA (o/ro) and finally OE9ERC (559/559). 9cm was a hard piece of work again, so thanks to all, who tried it with us.


?


Actually, I thought to have copied OZ
6OL calling us, but I could not find Hans back again, what a pity!


?


Tomorrow 7th October evening and 8th October in the morning we will get qrv on 13 cm, if the dish survives the storm this night. We made a few skeds for smaller stations (2320.100, 2,5 min sequences) and will hear in between for random. 


7th October


2230 G4DDK CW (YMK first)


2315 G4DDK JT 65 C if CW failed (YMK first)


?


8th October


0130 PY2BS JT 65 C (YMK first)


0400 PA3CSG? CW (CSG first)


0500 looking for WA6PY and other US stations (listening on 2304.100)

Hello all, 

Although the WX forcast looks very bad I plan to be on now and then during the ARRL 
EME contest. 

I also try to catch a station on 70cm where I am using only a single? antenna and 
I dont have elevation. Maybe I will be lucky and a big gun will hear me during moon set.

Of course, operation will be random and no pre-announce of QRG.

Message-ID: <c5a.56148ddc.37fdc99a@aol.com>

 
Gents, 
gee, what a stormy  night! First: the dish survived, got no idea, why and 
how, but it did - somehow.  It is in camouflage style now, all covered with 
pine tree needles. Did change  the feed early this morning to 13cm, after 
very breathtaking moments to see, if  the rotator head was still functional, 
checked sun noise and looks okay. Will be  on 13cm 2nite from 2200UT on, when 
the moon clears off the  trees. 
Sorry to say we were  just for 2 hours on 70cm yesterday, b4 the storm 
forced us to QRT. It was just  impossible to go on, and if we would have known 
b4 about the strength of the  storm, we surely would have dismantled the 
dish. It was a rather sleepless  night, getting up from bed after every roaring 
gust to look out of the kitchen  window, if that was the one to desintegrate 
the dish?don?t really need that.  These are the moments, when you start to 
think: what the hell am I doing  here?? 
Only 5 stations logged  on 70 cm yesterday: VK3UM, DL9KR, UA3PTW, OZ4MM and 
I1NDP. The new feed behaved  decently, did stand the power fed into it and 
has a clear and sharp destinction  between H and V. All stations worked were 
clearly H and disappered completely,  when switched to V; so will stay with 
the feed also on Saturday, 10th  October, when we will be back on 70 cm 
from 0000UT  onwards. 
We will work the skeds  on 13cm 2nite as confirmed. In case someone else 
thinks to need a sked, just  drop us a line by mail. Feel free to give us a 
shout on 13cm 2nite, it appears  that 13cm now is our best band so far. 
Stay  tuned?

Hi Rainer,

I think you would have trouble getting these transistors to work on 2.4 GHz.
They are specifically designed to operate at a narrow band around 2.1 GHz.

Hi all,

my email was a bit misleading. I already have datasheets for the driver 
and final as well as for the Anaren couplers.
What I could not identify are the two stages before the MRF21085. So I 
do not know if they are 12V or 28V
and what bias they need.

I have moved some MRF21120 to 2320MHz sucessfully in my Ericsson 
amplifier and
get >340W with abt. 1mW of drive. So Andy you're right - it's possible 
and well worthwhile!

Thanks for all the replies so far.

Hello fellow-EMEers


Time is passing by quickly and the end of our stay on X-land is foreseeable. Yesterday we had a second day on 13 cm and worked G4DDK, SV3AAF, PY2BS (the only JT 65C for us on 13 cm with a lot of free text, that was fun, Bruce, tnx) and WA6PY. We ended on 13 cm with 27 initials from19 DXCCs.


Tomorrow morning, this means Friday, 9th October, we will be on 23 cm for some skeds and QSO?s outside the oncoming contest. Only for this particular activity period we will be on 1296.055 MHz (not .045!!) because of birdies at DZU. During the contest we will be on the usual DXpedition frequency +/- QRM again. 


The skeds so far:


0500 G4DZU (CW, YMK first)


0530 G4DDK (CW, YMK first)


If we fail: both in JT 65 C? from 0615 in the same sequence, YMK first


from 0645: looking for K2UYH and WW2R in CW


Other QSO?s of course more than welcome, but please respect the skeds with smaller stations!


During the ARRL contest we will be on 70 cm on Saturday, 10.10.09, from 0000 UTC onwards, hopefully this time without any storm to give more stations the chance to work X-land than the 5 stations we worked under heavy windgusts. The second day, Sunday, 11th October , we will be on 23 cm from 0000 UT, but only until 1000 UT, because we have to dismantle the dish and put all things in the car for our way home.?

Hi Lunatics,

 

With  134 unique users on www.livecq144.com <http://www.livecq144.com/>
Rene,PE1L seems to have build a nice program to spot CQ EME traffic.

Also the group of map65(iq)  spotters are growing. If you want to join, pse
ask Rene for a upload tool.

The map 65 users only post CQ,CQH,CQV,QRZ and QRT messages 

Up to now it's very interesting too see what polarization is  doing between
the different receive stations. You can see the pol shifting within a few
minutes.

Hopefully old and new  EME'ers  start hunting for the spotted stations and
have fun with making a QSO  without sharing pre-information before the QSO
starts.

Even without map 65 you can add your CQ spot, or a CQ spot you receive (copy
and past from WSJT) NO mode is given, so you can use it for WSJT,CW or any
other mode :-)

 

Have fun, and as said before, if you don't like it, don't use it. 

 

Jurgen  PE1LWT

 

During the ARRL contest I probably use our clubcall PI9CM,  not a new init
this time as I use it from my homestation.  I will S&P for any station in
any mode.

Message-ID: <006201ca4853$b3f984c0$9105a8c0@doble.com>

I will be QRV this weekend on 432Mhz with my portable array 12 x 16ele with polarity rotation (8938 1.5KW PA).  I almost completed the 144Mhz 8877 PA but was cutting it too close to get finished so I decided to operate 432Mhz.  I also received several emails encouraging me to operate 432Mhz.

I am getting better at getting the portable setup operational as it only took 5 hours today in a beautiful Carolina day (85 degrees F) to get the Rohn 55-G tower section hoisted and the H-frame and yagis installed.

I will try to get on 144Mhz in the very near future also.

Look forward to working a lot of new initials this weekend!   I will probably do some testing this evening if anyone is around.  Earliest time would be around 0400UTC...

Gentlemen
The following are the VK (East Coast add 20 minutes for VK5MC) 
windows for the ARRL Contest.

Saturday 10th Oct 2009
1510z - 0030z (Sunday)  Add and subtract ~ 10 minutes for ground 
noise as appropriate.
Sunday  11th Oct 2009
1600z - 0000z (contest period end)

You will note that we have only one window into Europe.
For us down here it has never been a "Contest" just an event that we 
support. Inclement Wx on
Saturday will mean no Eu contacts. Hence we have always wished for 2 
Contest weekends.

I will be operating as usual EBE (ear brain ear with integral deep 
search) and do my best to work all I can
on 70 and 23.

Nice to have a second occasion to work the XXX team on 23cm

I was QRV at 05:00 UTC and listened first with respect to the skeds.
After the QSO I noticed a hughe pile-up with no respect at all !!!
Went down for coffee =)

Hello,

There can be big or small problems causing trouble for a moonbouncer.....

I have now a very small detail causing me QRT for the moment and that's just 
a tiny gear-wheel in the rotator.

I'm using two AC-motor drives in an old Daiwa and the absolute primary drive 
at one of the motor axis has broke in two pieces. And just one drive-unit is 
not enough. Have tried to glue the plastic cog-wheel together but no 
success.

I understand this weekend is gone but if anyone has this piece in the 
junk-box I would be very glad.

Washington (dpa) - Mit einer spektakul?ren Aktion will die US- Weltraumagentur NASA heute (Freitag) die Existenz von Wasser auf dem Mond nachweisen.

Dabei lassen die Wissenschaftler die Raketenstufe einer Raumsonde wie ein Geschoss in einen Krater am S?dpol des Erdtrabanten st?rzen. Dadurch wird Mondstaub aufgewirbelt, den die Raumsonde LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) auf Spuren von Wasser untersuchen soll. Nur wenige Minuten sp?ter wird auch die Sonde auf dem Mond zerschellen.

Der Einschlag der Rakete im Cabeus-Krater ist f?r kurz nach 13.30 Uhr deutscher Zeit geplant. Die Rakete soll mit einer Geschwindigkeit von fast 9000 Stundenkilometern aufschlagen. Die NASA-Wissenschaftler gehen davon aus, dass der Mondstaub bis zu zehn Kilometer hoch aufsteigt.

F?r das Spektakel hat ein Mitarbeiter sogar ein Lied geschrieben. 

Das gesamte Unternehmen kostet rund 79 Millionen Dollar (rund 53 Millionen Euro). Die Sonde war am 18. Juni gestartet worden. Zeitgleich flog ein weiterer Orbiter los, der jetzt den Mond umkreist und Aufnahmen von der "Bombardierung" machen soll. Zwar hatten Wissenschaftler erst k?rzlich Wasser auf dem Mond ausgemacht. Diesmal geht es aber um den definitiven Nachweis, hei?t es bei der NASA.

Subject: [Moon] ES5PC new 2m & 70cm EME setup + plans for ARRL EME Contest
Message-ID: <op.u1i1sgzwwh7qej@mail1.telia.com>

Hi,

As some of you may have already noticed I have adde two more bands to my  
EME setup: 2m & 70cm. The new setup was completed in August. Many thanks  
to ES6RQ, ES5RY, ES5QX, ES5MG, ES5RAL, ES5PW and others who helped me on  
this big project!

During just a bit more than one month I have worked stations from 45  
countries on 2m, from 12 countries on 70cm.
Unfortunately most of the stations were worked in JT65, not so many on CW,  
mostly because of lack of activity. I think at least 30-40% of the  
stations worked in JT can be worked also in CW because the signals from  
them were fully audible.
Also it would be nice to see more activity on 70cm.

Many QSL-s have been already sent but still many needs to be posted. There  
is no need to include a SASE with your card as I use already stamped  
envelopes to send out cards. Instead, you can include an adhesive label  
with your adress printed on it.

If you miss a QSL card from me for any EME QSO before August 2009 please  
just let me know and I will post it ASAP.
The stations who accept cards via bureau please let me know. I also accept  
cards via bureau.
Here is a short description of my new 2m & 70cm setup:

2m: 4 x M2 5wl (17el) HPol, stacking dist. 4.26m H+V, LZ2US PA ( 2xGU74 )  
capable of at least 1.5kW, PA3BIY preamp NF abt. 0.4dB,
TX feedline: 20 m of 7/8-inch heliax.

70cm: 4 x M2 9wl HPol, stacking dist. 1.7m H+V, LZ2US PA ( GS23B ) capable  
of at least 1.5kW, PA3BIY preamp NF abt. 0.5dB,
TX feedline: 20 m of 7/8-inch heliax.

Both stacks are mounted on the same tower, 70cm stack inside the 2m stack.
The center of the antennas is about 11magl.
Prosistel rotator for azimuth, SPID for elevation.
Max elevation is currently only 30 deg. which means my Moon window is  
limited at high Moon declination. Before moonset I have usually quite good  
ground gain at about 3 deg elevation at azimuths above 270 deg.

Currently I have experienced strong powerline noise at 180 deg azimuth. It  
does degrade my 2m RX performance at up to 15 deg elevation.

For band monitoring I use SDR-IQ + Linrad + MAP65-IQ, running on a single  
PC. It has typically somewhat worse sensitivity regarding very weak  
signals compared to WSJT + Icom IC7400 but sometimes decodes signals not  
decoded by WSJT. The reported signal strength difference between WSJT and  
MAP65 is typically within +/- 1 dB.

The new setup is also mostly ready for remote control over Internet.

I will be QRV in upcoming ARRL EME Contest weekends hopefully on all 6  
bands ( 2m, 70cm, 23cm, 13cm, 6cm, 3cm ) where I'm currently QRV.

On 2m & 70cm I will be QRV only when Moon is at below 30 deg elevation. On  
23cm and above I have almost full moon window but I can operate only on  
one band at a time. To switch between 2m/70cm/23cm it will take 1-2  
minutes + eventually about 5 min warm-up for 2m or 70cm PA.
In ARRL contest I operate both CW & digital. I completely agree with  
Peter, G3LTF that small stations (and big ones too!) should call CQ more  
often. We will find you, and there will be more QSO-s!

And also a little challenge to the EME community: who will be the very  
first station to be in my log worked on all 6 bands EME where I'm  
currently QRV?

There is also a pretty good chance that 9cm band will be allowed in ES for  
amateur radio use from next year!

I hope for many more QSO-s and wish GL in the contest!

73,
Viljo ES5PC

Hi EME?ers

 

I will be QRV on 144MHz in the ARRL EME contest this weekend, 

and I will operate CW random without any assistance. I can not be

QRV full time, but as much as possible. I look forward to hear a lot

of activity on the band. 

 

Good luck and a lot of fun to all.

 

See you via the moon during the weekend

 

Best 73, OZ1HNE Jorgen.

Hi All, 

I was QRV this morning/afternoon during ARRL EME Contest on 2m and 70cm. 
On? 70cm I have no elevation and only a single yagi. To keep it short : 
Nothing heard / worked on 432MHz. I wonder if antenna not big enough or no 
activity during EU moonset? 

On 2m I was QRV? for 2-3 hours. 

Worked: OZ1HNE, K9MRI, SP7DCS, LA8YB, W5UN. 
Called without reaction: Yo2AMU, IK1FJI, K1JT, F0CXO
Heard: IT9CJC, IK2DDR, SM2CKR, F1FLA, 9A9B, Ok1MS, AA7A. 

If WX OK then I will try to show up tonight about 22z for a while.

Subject: [Moon] Last Call for XXX/DL1YMK
Message-ID: <8CC17ED6432657A-5790-59F1@webmail-m047.sysops.aol.com>

Hello lunatics,


this night we were at first qrv on 70 cm, than on 23 cm. 70 cm was a hard piece of work, because it is now obviously our weakest band after we optimised the 3 other bands. In contrast to 23, 13 and 9 cm, we don?t hear our own echoes, so we have to find the exact position of moon with the signals of other stations and this was the real problem, because of the broad beamwidth of the dish on 70 cm. It was frustrating to hear stations calling, but to be unable to get the calls out of the ?mud? with a high level of librations fading, especially if 2 stations were calling at the same time. So we worked this night additionally HB9Q, DL7APV, G3LTF, DL9KR, UA3PTW, SP6JLW, OK1KIR, K1RQG, OZ4MM, DF3RU, K1JT/K2UYH before changing the feed to 23 cm. Sorry for those, who called, but were not heard! Still not really certain, if the new H/V-switchable short backfire loop feed is advantageous in the stressed dish?some reports were encouraging, though. Will have to work on improvement of LNA, the current one is at 0.45 dB NF?well, the winter is long and every tenth of a dB counts.


23 cm was again very easy, so we worked in the remaining time of our limited moon window: DL0SHF, LA9NEA, SP6JLW, DF3RU, IQ4DF, OK1DFC, IZ1BPN, W6YX, SM6FHZ, RA3AQ, OH2DG. ?Tomorrow it will be the last chance on 23 cm to work XXX/DL1YMK ? nearly 100 stations, who worked us on the 4 bands already know, that this is a very interesting DXC
C! We will start? Sunday, around 0100 UT and end around 11 UT to knock down the dish and stuff all bits and pieces in the car.

Hello 2m EME Friends:

1st pass condx was disappointing on 2m CW.  Was QRV fm 0715 - 1015z & worked 
5 stations - F1FLA, LA8YB, SP7DCS, W5UN, & OK1MS (vy difficult QSO).  Called 
IK2DDR for quite awhile on both polarities but only got QRZs.  Called a 
couple of other stations also with no answer & didn't hear anyone come bk to 
my limited calling of CQs.  Echos were gud sometimes to non-existent. 
Degradation was 4.25dB when I started & should be lower for 2nd pass. 
Hoping for btr condx & gud activity tonite.  Will be QRV around my moonrise 
at 0700z.

Message-ID: <342392.35123.qm@web23705.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

Hi all, 

here my final result in ARRL EME Contest (2m CW ): 

Wkd: 

OZ1HNE, K9MRI, SP7DCS, W5UN, LA8YB, SV1BTR, IK3MAC, F0CXO, 
OK1MS, RU1AA, IK1FJI. 

Many others heard ! 

Especially this morning was very poor result. Heard the Californian EMEers
WA6PY and K6PF never that loud before (up to 559). Called Paul, WA6PY, for 30 minutes
and only got a "DL2?" , Bob (K6PF) did not hear me at all. 

QRT @ 0930 utc - others duties.....Was QRV just about 7 hours....

On 70cm I heard? only one EME signal from JJ1NNJ during my moonrise last
night. No QSO. Using only single yagi. 

Some years ago it seemed to be easier to do CW EME QSOs. Is it just the 
lack of practising it enough by the people?

Hi Joe and all,

it was great to work you with your usual 589 signal, TNX!
I was on only sporadically but enjoyed 47 CW Qs though being hampered by increasing bio blockage of my western window. There were even 2 initials, F6FHP (of 2m fame) #891 and ES5PC (loud) #892. Conx were good. However, we had a cold front passage with heavy rain and close-by lightning strikes on Saturday morning.

TNX, GL & 73!

Hi all,
I was QRV with 1x10el dk7zb + 1kW PEP on 2m
and 1x23el dk7zb + 1HP on 70cm.

On 70cm I worked on random HB9Q JT65 with
great signal and nice opened text chat ;) and DL9KR in CW (tnx!).
Also heard were I1NDP (no answer on my calling over 1h long),
G3LTF (vy weak) and SM2CEW (hrd in QRM - unfortunately I suffer
from big local qrm between 432.016-021 MHz). During today
moonset I found an American station on .070 in JT65,
however he qrt after my first call ;). Wanted still remains NC1I...

On 2m I worked 3x CW random contacts with IK3MAC
(amazing signal this time!), SV1BTR and LA8YB.
Heard were RU1AA, SP7DCS, OZ1HNE (not on his QRG).
Pity that the main traffic is only between 144.039 - 144.060 MHz
as several stations in OK/DL are too strong via tropo and too
close from each other. 

I'll be qrv after today moonrise at 22utc so cu then.

Hi EME gang,
thanks to all for nice activity during weekend. Sorry for strong wing in
Sunday, I was not able to operate dish last 8 hours of the contest. I hope
the next leg in December will be much better. Finally I have worked 67
stations, 4 new # RD3YA #261, OH0/DL1YMK #262 and DXCC64, great surprise
Michael, very nice new station 9A5AN #263, K8EB #264, Erv was very strong
and N4PZ #265. With N4PZ I had big problem, calling him many times,
including spread of call to letters in groups. His signal 579 very strong,
but he has problem with RX I thing. For first count I have 67x36 multi.
Looking forward for MW ARRL EME where I will be QRV 13cm and 3cm. Up to MW
part I will travel in QRL and do not have chance to prepare something
special, but I thing 3cm working well and have tested unit during tropo
kontest here. From 1st of Nov up to 9th of Nov I am in W4 N.C. Hickory.

Hello lunatics,


first a big thank you to all fellow-EMEers,? who worked us and did not disclose the call during our stay on Aland, in order not to spoil the fun for others, who had to decode the call for themselves. Interesting enough some stations thought until this morning we were on OJ0, hi. Perhaps this might be the destination for a new DXpedition?? Well, we think we had enough storms with this one?next will be calmer, hopefully. Yes, we are on Aland, OH0, a group of 4500 islands with only 28000 residents, located 2 hours by ferry in front of the Swedish East coast, but belonging to Finland. It is a really nice, picturesque place ? if there is no storm, which seems to be very common during autumn and winter. Our holiday home was located in JP90sf at the West coast of one of the main islands near Ecker?. 

The idea, not to disclose where we are, was born in the European moon reflector discussing the question, what a real random QSO is all about. OK, 140 of our 150 QSO?s, which we made in the last 8 days on 4 bands were ?really? random for both sides, whereas we had sometimes the more difficult part, as we had to decode many, many different stations, often in huge pile ups ? but CW is king! 23 and 13 cm were really fun and very easy. We heard continuously our own echoes and were copied by many stations, so the optimisations we made was worth the effort during the months after MI. The 9 cm - band is stil
l difficult as our signal still is not as stable in frequency as it should be. The weakest band now seems to be 70 cm, here is room to improve.? 

During this morning we were again on 23 cm and worked several stations dupe for the contest and as initials: HB9Q, DL4MEA, LZ2US, OK3RM, PY2BS (JT), HB9SV, UT5JCW, K5JL, K8EB, RD3YA, W5LUA, IK2MMB, WW2R, IW2FZR, SM3LBN.

In total we made 96 qso?s? on 23 cm? and worked 67 initials in 32 DXCC?s. 

Now we are awfully tired, because we were out for sightseeing during daytime and EME during the dark, but there was not enough time for sleeping ? we urgently need holidays, hi

The dish was knocked down in the afternoon, the stuff is packed into the car (difficult enough!), and tomorrow morning we are on our way back home.


A big thanks to all, who shared this experience with us, M & M-team hopes you had the same fun we had during the past week. For those we could not dig out of the mud:?past a DXpedition is before a DXpedition?CU from ????

Lots of work and some very good signals on Saturday.  Today was very tough
but managed to work a few more.  Guess I am deaf on receive at times but
still setting up in a neighborhood with lots of QRM.

Murphy tried to take me out twice as I powered up the PA.  For some reason,
the NE-555 warmup timer chip on the PA control board blew up two nites in a
row.  Had to diagnose what happened at 1-2AM each nite and still really
don't know the actual cause - only the effect.

I will probably take the array down today unless anyone wants an early
morning sked with me on Monday (after the contest)...

I wish I could've worked more during the contest but it was still a lot of
fun.

Yes, we are on Aland, OH0, a group of 4500 islands with only 28000 residents, located 2 hours by ferry in front of the Swedish East coast, but belonging to Finland. It is a really nice, picturesque place ? if there is no storm, which seems to be very common during autumn and winter. Our holiday home was located in JP90sf at the West coast of one of the main islands near Ecker?. 
  The idea, not to disclose where we are, was born in the European moon reflector discussing the question, what a real random QSO is all about. OK, 140 of our 150 QSO?s, which we made in the last 8 days on 4 bands were ?really? random for both sides, whereas we had sometimes the more difficult part, as we had to decode many, many different stations, often in huge pile ups ? but CW is king! 23 and 13 cm were really fun and very easy. We heard continuously our own echoes and were copied by many stations, so the optimi sations we made was worth the effort during the months after MI. The 9 cm - band is still difficult as our signal still is not as stable in frequency as it should be. The weakest band now seems to be 70 cm, here is room to improve.  
  During this morning we were again on 23 cm and worked several stations dupe for the contest and as initials: HB9Q, DL4MEA, LZ2US, OK3RM, PY2BS (JT), HB9SV, UT5JCW, K5JL, K8EB, RD3YA, W5LUA, IK2MMB, WW2R, IW2FZR, SM3LBN.
  In total we made 96 qso?s  on 23 cm  and worked 67 initials in 32 DXCC?s. 
  Now we are awfully tired, because we were out for sightseeing during daytime and EME during the dark, but there was not enough time for sleeping ? we urgently need holidays, hi
  The dish was knocked down in the afternoon, the stuff is packed into the car (difficult enough!), and tomorrow morning we are on our way back home.
  A big thanks to all, who shared this experience with us, M & M-team hopes you had the same fun we had during the past week. For those we could not dig out of the mud: past a DXpedition is before a DXpedition?CU from ????

Dear M&M!

Thank you for the fun!! 

I am amazed, your /portable gear would stand out and shine in anyones shack.
Yet you drag your gear along to remote (cold) places, hold the stuff down in
howling winds while pumping the key to hand out new DXCC countries to us mere
mortals who have enough trouble keeping our home stations going.

My hat is off to M&M for another EME expedition completed in grand style. 

BTW, we had the same BIG storm up here as you had during the week. At one
point
during the night I was expecting to see dish debris from OH0 flying past me on
route to the north pole..  But you had tied the dish to the Aland rock pretty
well it seems.

Very happy for my QSO's with OH0 on 23cm and 13cm, thanks. I had dish
elevation
problems and an oscillating 70cm preamp on Saturday. When I got the dish
pointed at the moon I heard and called you briefly on 70cm, but after
transmitting my preamp oscillated merrily. Took me too long to find the
problem
and fix it, so unfortunately I missed you on 70cm. 

Again, thanks for the CW EME fun M&M!

Hello all

I was qrv in the arrl? first leg contest for about 13 hours,? i was glad to see a quite good number of stations in the cw band.

I can worked 38 cw random qso, most on my cq and others looking at my poor 12khz linrad windows, but i can saw the band from 

about? 144040 to 144060 with deep attenuation on the lowest and highter? qrg.

Sorry for some stations then i cannot pull out of noise, due my low antenna gain, hope to work them in second leg.

Conditions up and down, sometime i saw 90 degrees shift, i presume, because i can heard only the well equipement stations

with a vertical antennas in their array.

Nice to work again after long time some stations like W5UN, WA6PY; DL5MAE, SM2CKR ?and others old friends

Hope all have fun?and? see you in the next leg

 Lots of activity, more NA stations on than last year, conditions on 432 quite variable, sometimes sharply defined  polarisation and  also some long fades. 1296 libration a bit difficult at times.  I worked my highest first pass total ever, 23cm 69x35 70cm 33x22 and 2m 2x2 total of 104 QSOs. Very enjoyable, but going out and changing the dish feed over at 3AM is getting harder. Thanks to all for some good eme fun.

Message-ID: <007d01ca4ae9$0de8dac0$6401a8c0@Office>

Hello 2m EME Friends:

Found condx both passes challenging much of the time with hi noise & 
polarizations that, at times, were abnormal.  Makes me appreciate x-pol.  My 
apologies to those who called me but either rcv'd no reply or lengthy QRZs. 
Think LZ1DP holds the record for me.  I called QRZ after my CQ for 20 
minutes trying to dig out Christo's callsign but just couldn't get it. 
Reluctantly, I gave up, called CQ agn & this time copied him well.

Here's my results for both passes:

1st pass (QRV 3 hours):  worked F1FLA, LA8YB, SP7DCS, W5UN, & OK1MS
2nd pass (QRV 3 hours): worked SV1BTR, OZ1HNE, OK1MS (dupe), RU1AA, F0CXO, 
LZ1DP & IK3MAC

Total 1st weekend results (QRV 6 hrs):  11 QSOs x 10 multiplier.  I would hv 
bn QRV longer but wasn't getting replies to my CQs & didn't hear any new 
stations.  Getting too old to stay up all night & morning.

I plan to be QRV during the 2nd weekend of the contest & sure hope to work 
many more stations.

Ernst and all EME'ers
This issue of initial counting has been very clear some time ago. Initial
counting has been the logic performance indicator for many years.
Unfortunately this is no longer possible. On one hand initials across CW/SSB
and digital modes have little to no evidence and are useless.
On the other hand some newcomers use endless different calls on the very
same station which makes initial counting impossible even for those who
honestly search for the true initial. We may know or may not know that
SM3AKW has got a new call - this is not too difficult to figure out and it
has nothing to do with confusing us. 
It is much different in the case where clubstations pop up with individual
calls (and a club call). 
It seems to me that we have to reset our rules to remedy the disorder in
"initials" which are clearly not.
I personally have stopped making QSO's with stations using different calls
for these reasons. 
Some may have recognized that yesterday.

Hi Moon-bouncers,

For a total of 7 hours of activity in ARRL Eme Contest-First Leg (due the job commitment), I found conditions fair. Low activity in classic mode unassisted.

 

WKD: OZ1HNE(539/539),F0CXO,9A1CAL,9A9B,IK1FJI,OK1MS,IT9CJC,IK2DDR,SM2CKR,PA2CHR,SP7DCS,K1JT,F1FLA,SV1BTR(579/559),OK1KKD,LZ1DP,

I3EVK,LA8YB(559/559),IK1UWL,RA6DA,RU1AA(539/529),K9MRI,DL8UCC.

 

CWNR:DL2DDA(?),W5UN,K6PF.

I hope for more stations from USA/Canada in the second leg -December 2009!

It is very bad to mix the modes in the same contest!My oppinion is to use first leg for classic modes and the second leg for digital modes!

 It is my modest oppinion.

 

CU in december

Message-ID: <op.u1phgyz2wh7qej@mail1.telia.com>

Hi,

It was a busy weekend for me, was qrv this time on 3 bands. Worked total  
of 105 stations: 62 on 23cm, 19 on 70cm and 24 on 2m. Worked both CW & JT,  
unassisted.
As my maximum elevation for 2m & 70cm stacks is limited to 30 degrees the  
time on these bands was also limited.
A big disappointment was calling CQ in JT65 on 2m unassisted. The QSO rate  
was probably about only 1-2 per hour!
At the same time there was about 50 stations visible in MAP65 bandmap  
simultaneously!
To maximize the number of QSOs I decided to switch back to 23cm CW  
instead, there were always some stations to work and I hope to work many  
more in the next leg.
It was also nice to work a few stations on all 3 bands.
I agree that it may be a good idea to separate CW and digital operation  
between diffetrent weekends. In multiband operation where you have to  
share the time between different bands it will increase the probability  
for stations to be in the same mode and on the same band at the same time.

Here is a snapshot from MAP65 bandmap from sometime in Saturday:

102 *CT1HZE  121 *I3EVK   132 *PA4PS

Message-ID: <BAY111-DS4A840A2E736A4A15A79458CC70@phx.gbl>

Hi Roger,

I live in central Arizona where the horizon is the Earth. No trees
or bushes or paraphernalia in the way. I am either pointing at the
ground, the clear sky, or the Moon.

I thought you would be interested in the fact that ground gain may 
present itself when the Moon is BELOW the horizon. Actually not visible!

Not knowing whether you have foliage on the horizon or not, I pass the 
following information hesitantly.

Try to hear your own echoes and/or make your schedules for a longer period,
let's say, 20 minutes before and after Moon rise or Moon set.

As I recall (I am presently QRT), the 2 meter band was most predominant
regarding the "Moon below the horizon phenomena". Check with K5GW about it.

Keep trying!

Hi Steve,
just a small hint.

If you hammer our common reflector with such an excess power, you should
try to optimize your dish noise performance even on the penalty of a
bit lower efficiency of the dish illumination.
Your ears would appreciate that even more than just dig the call from
much more samples. You could gain e.g. more than 2dB on receive while
loosing less than 1dB on transmit. It is quite good business, isn't
it ?

The best feed to choice from will depend on your dish f/D ratio, but
principially the point is to decrease the dish overillumination when
receiving by illuminating less the dish edges while maintaining the
side and back-lobes of the feed as low as the state of the art enables.

E.g. famous W2IMU dual-mode feed used at lower f/D ration than abt. 0.5
(for maximum efficiency)seems to be one of the best candidates as shown
by computer simulation.
Among others, esp. W1GHZ resources, one new will come in next issues
of ham-radio DUBUS magazine written by Rasto,OM6AA.
However the principle was clearly mentioned already by W2IMU many many
years ago.

GL and 73,

Message-ID: <006001ca4be0$4b707860$6601a8c0@K7XQH>

Hello All,
Got on this weekend to see who I can work. I was too tired to stay up
late both nights so I missed over half of each 
EU window on both nights.The objective this weekend was to prove out the
finality of the 432 array performance which
 did a great job ( 8 X 28 ele presently configured for vertical polarity
) and to prove out the new 2 X 7 ele 50 MHz array 
with full az/el and polarity rotation ( worked better than expected ).
 
50 MHz JT : MM0AMW #9, GM4WJA #10, ZL3NW #11, N3CXV #12. ( all initials
and all single yagi QSO's with N3CXV being only 5 ele ).
 
432 MHz CW: OZ4MM 559/559, DL7APV 549/559, I1NDP 549/559, VE6TA#
449/449, SM2CEW 559/559, DL9KR 569/579,
K1RQG 569/559, JA6AHB 449/559
 
1296 CW: SM4DHN 579/539, K5JL 589/559, OK1DFC 579/559, SP6JLW# 579/559.
 
432 libration was the deepest I ever heard ever on this band especially
during the daylight hours this weekend where signals would peak 
S6 down to almost nothing making QSO's very difficult.1296 libration was
minor this weekend for me.
 
Also just acquired a RF space SDR-IQ receiver and it was fun to look at
all the CW traces ( 12 at one time ) across the band on 
1296 while working 432 at the same time. I want to use this receiver to
pick out weaker CW stations with a sharper brickwall filter response.

Message-ID: <4AD637CF.803@wp.pl>

Hello,
I was very happy to be qrv on 3 bands on CW random unassisted. On 2m and 
70cm high degradation and fast Faraday changes made some qsos a little 
harder, but in the same time 23cm was like an HF.
The only bad point on 23cm was that I had very short window to VK in 
this declination due to some buildings and I did not managed to catch 
any VK friends.
During full weekend I was supported by my son Maciek SP7MC as a second 
operator. We did our best to make as much qso as it is possible with our 
station.
Final score for the weekend is 84 qsos (+1 dup) which consist of 33 qsos 
on 2m, 7 qsos on 70cm and 44qsos on 23cm (+1 dup). It is much more than 
I expected and it is the best score after first weekend ever.
Achiving such good score wouldn't be possible without improvement to the 
stations that were made recently. My dish mounted SSPA gives now 500W on 
23cm and new preamp improved my sun noise by 2dB - I really was feeling 
like I had a bigger dish hi hi. Great tool was also SDR by Rafal SQ4AVS 
monitoring 9MHz stage in my IC746. As result I was able to see about 
15kHz of selected band on Winrad screen - it really helps...

Equipment:
2m - 16x8el Hpol, gs35b
70cm - 4x25el Hpol, 400W SSPA
23cm - 3m dish, RA3AQ feed, 500W SSPA

I do hope that second weekend in December will be similar success and 
same good fun. See you then!

Qrl abroad permitting, I plan to do my 1st eme tests on 13cm on  
October 31st sometime in rise and set.

Could someone let me know which is the normal operating random  
frequency range (in contests and activity events) for EU/US/JA/VK on  
their respective allocations?
e.g. 2320.xxx to? 2304.xxx to? 2301.95 to 2302.00?? 2424.xxx to?

Since i like to make things more challenging for me, I use the  
traditional ''turn the dial and find'' method. Therefore, no visual  
aids and no wideband receiver spectrum at my end. Just wondering how  
much up/down to keep on with the manual search...hi

Thank you & 73

Hello Jimmy,

welcome to the 13cm world.

Usual traffic on 13cm (and above) is around the .100 frequencies, so
2304.100, 2320.100 and 2424.100.

Basis of operation is 2304, 2320 and 2424MHz. It is just for VK that they
are using a different basis on 2301.900MHz.

Special on 13cm is crossband - and it also seems to be the first band
where doppler correction is really essential because doppler will be as
much as +/-5kHz.

Crossband is quite easy: Remember for usual random operation, you always
put your echo onto the frequency that you hear your partner. (*1)
On 13cm you also do, in case of crossband in an "as if also heard in my TX
band" mode. So if you hear a 2304-only station on 2304.080, you put your
echos on 2320.080. In the same way, the partner has to listen on his echo
on 2304.xxx, parallel to that 2320.xxx and if possible on 2424.xxx.

With the VKs it is easy doing if we keep a little bit of discipline and
let them do as they did, so when VK3NX/VK4AFL says he transmits on
2301.950, you listen, chatch him for example on 2301.945, then you answer
with your own echo beeing on 2320.045.
AS HAPPEND IN PAST, PLEASE NON-VK STATIONS  (VK .NEQ. OK) DO NOT TX ON
2301.9XX, THAT ONLY MAKES CONFUSION BIGGER AND THE USAGE OF THE ANYWAY
SHORT VK WINDOW MORE DIFFICULTY.
Charlie recently also noted that he won't answer calls on 2301MHz any longer.

I have a personal wish to those capable of 2304: In the recent activity we
noted that there was so much traffic on 2304 (it seems that most stations
are allowed to use this allocation), that many did not check 2320 and we
were a little bit bored because we did not get answers. Even HB0/DF1SR
suffered from this problem!!! Would you please check 2320 in a random
matter, so probably leave one going on 2304 in favour for a 2320-only ham?
Thanks!

73, G?nter (dl4mea)

(*1) For those not able to hear your echo (really? In times of SDR and
waterfall nearly everyone should at least see his echo) Just take any
doppler calculation SW, even with error they will be close enougth. From
moonrise to zenith you have to RX higher by the given doppler than you TX,
from zenith to mooonset you have to RX lower than you TX. On 13cm/moonrise
you RX about 5kHz higher than you TX.

PS: Currently preparing, but dish is in a bad shape (never use cable wraps
that are not UV resistant) we got first snow and no chance for repairs.

Hello Jimmy
 
Along what  Guenter already posted, you will find your echo to be your best friend on 13cm.  I always heard them with 2.4m - 8' dish.  With new 3.1m dish they are +7dB.  Finding cross band is not difficult, and like you, the dial works fine, so I would find the station if with in 5 or so kHz on cross band frequency.  We use the same rig now for 2301 - 2304 - 2320 so alignment is ok, I use a HB converter output to 450 MHz on 2424.
 
As of right now, the only problems we find on 13cm is sometimes, when the moon here in the states is about 40 deg ele, we run into the path of one of the Sats (+20dB at times) , and on 2320 your EME signal is toast.  2304 is desenced, but not as much by the Sat as near 2330.  This is not often and it has NOT discourage me from operating, but 2320 would be off line until the noise goes back down.
 
I find the crossband action kind of fun, so I do not list it as a problem.  What is becoming a problem is crossband stations calling CQ on the same mirror frequency, I guess twice the return information.  Maybe one group above and the other group below the center line of .100, like soccer.
 
With so many positives (ie.. fantastic SS power 80W to 300W at about $1 a watt), good CP feed designs (most of them work - septums -square or round, rod polarizer), LNA's in the 0.3 to 0.5 dB n/f range and of course cheap 3m dishes, and great echoes, what's not to like.

  
Good Luck, CU on in a few weeks
 
Tommy  WD5AGO

	sheet
Message-ID: <20091020023053.jy8d5w8xvoc4sw4w@easymail-app.hol.gr>

In order to assist ARRL I noticed the following omission in the ARRL  
EME Competition 2009 rules and an error on the score summary sheet,  
which I would like to bring to the Contest Manager and fellow EME  
participating stations notice.

At  http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2009/eme.html Section 5,  
Scoring does not mention multi-band score calculation.

5. Scoring:
5.1. QSO points: Count 100 points for each complete EME contact.
5.2. Multiplier: Each US State and Canadian Province, plus each DXCC  
entity (excluding the US/Canada) worked via EME on each band.

Thus, missing is what existed in all previous years' rules. Therefore:
5.3. Final Score: Multiply QSO point total by the sum of multipliers  
worked from each band.
Shouldn't 5.3. be added and rules being corrected in ARRL webpage?

Moreover, at http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/eme.frm.html the  
summary sheet  is outdated, does not match the current rules entry  
categories (section 3). Therefore, the official ARRL EME Contest  
Summary Sheet must be corrected in its respective ARRL webpage.

Subject: [Moon] JA stations qrv on 3 cm ?
In-Reply-To: <F3C1A5B3A16F45FD9D6EDA7159367787@erice5fea1e11a>

Hello Eric, 

The only active 3cm op in JA is Shichiro, JA6CZD.  He worked 
OK1KIR and F2TU a month ago.   Shichiro had added 2.5mm 
square mesh over the 6mm hexagonal mesh of his 5m dish 
before these QSOs.   I wrote an article about this topic in JA 
CQ ham radio magazine of the latest issue.  

As I know, JA stations who intend to opereate 3cm are:
JA4BLC, JH3ERQ possibly, and JH1KRC are in the queue.  
JA7BMB took off his fine mesh dish a few years ago, SRI.  

Mike JH1KRC

Hi Jerry,

just a little note to let you know that the amplifier is running on 2320MHz.
As I could not get any information on the first two stages I just run the
driver and final stage and get >20dB gain.

BTW: there is a little ic that measures drain current via a resistor.
It's a smd ic marked 'ADIU' - can't find information about that.

Subject: [Moon] (DL) Looking for source of connectors
Message-ID: <1384.89.55.205.181.1256765288.squirrel@intern.netexpress.de>

Hello,

sounds strange, but is: I haven't bought parts for quite a few years, and
had lived from my stock, so I guess the the dealer situation in DL has
changed quite a lot. I also havn't visited any ham fair for more than 10
years now. Gigatech is not available in the moment, so I am asking the
list for a source of that.

I am looking for N connectors with a BNC size flange, and a 4mm dia, 4mm
long Teflon stub at the end. I am looking for 10 female and one male. In
the online catalogue of Gigatech such are noted. Price should be below EUR
5,- per piece. (That most probably excludes UKW-Berichte)

I really appreciate any help. Thanks a lot!

73, G?nter (dl4mea)
