Happy New Year to all

Following a PC crash on the shack PC, I have lost my archive of prgrams, as well as the operational ones - included in them was the HP utility I used to connect to the Z3801A - I think it was called HP Satconn or something like that?

Can anyone in the groups help by either forwarding me a copy, or pointing me to somewhere I can download it?  So far I haven't been able to identify a source using the usual search engines.

Thanks in advance

Message-ID: <1671.62.158.41.228.1262510665.squirrel@intern.netexpress.de>

Hello all,

happy new year, if not already told to you. Currently blocked from moving
the dish due to a ground short in one wire of the elevation motor (and,
unfortunately by the urgent need doing my tax declaration for 2008)

Related to their use on 23cm:

I need some information what is the difference between XRF286 and MRF286
devices? I know that XRF286 are pre-production samples and MRF286 the
final devices. Are there any other significant differences in the
performance?

For example, the very well known Ericsson amplifier which is using a
single MRFT21120, I got replacements SRFT21120. The only difference was
that the SRFT device had less saturation power, which was about 20-30W
less.

Might something else happen with the XRF286 in an MRF286 design or are the
two such similar that one does not recognize the difference?

Hello all

I was qrv again as I had the chance and the band was clear from the powe 
line noise  on 70cm.I did have the chance to work Lars SM4IVE at the 2nd 
leg.I also tried very hard with NC1I which he cannot take out my call 
from my weak signal but he was close Sorry I know you kept trying then I 
said to my self not to loose you time better stop txing maybe better 
luck another time.Signals here were very strong also heard stations for 
the first time like K0RZ and some others which I forget.On the 30th  Dec 
I worked DG1JKG and DL7APV cw sched from HB9Q logger.It is frustrating 
when you can hear that nice signals but you cant be heard due your qrp,I 
am looking for an sspa maybe 500w in future as the GS35 PA Project 
stoped it.Also thinking to upgrade for 8 times antenna maybe this year 
not sure but it is a bug in my mind for now.

 Hi Dom,

I tested it: I left the TWT ON during receive, using a WG switch, and could 
not measure any tube noise on RX. Nothing at all !
But my TWT is not a 200 W out, only 40 W...
Of course, correct sequencing is a must to avoid killing the LNA and maybe a 
TWT pushed to its limits.
Also, before transmitting any RF, the sequencer circuit should have a 
confirmation that the WG switch has fully moved the right position !

I have the following 13cm power amplifier for sale:

Kuhne Linear Power Amplifier. MKU PA 23400 A 2300 - 2400 MHz Solid State 400
W Output power, Input power 1.2 W.  Includes 24 volt dc power supply, heat
sink and fans.  Everything is included that is needed to operate this
amplifier on 13cm with one watt drive.  

This is a picture of the amplifier on Flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/barry10a/3354715512/in/set-72157606664072445/

I also have more information available in PDF format which I will send to
anyone interested.  I bought this new in February 2009 at the Kuhne factory
in Germany and it has very little use.

If you are seriously interested, you should recognize that this isn't
inexpensive but I would like to see it remain the amateur radio community.
If you understand that then send me an email. I will provide additional
information about this item in PDF format.  Beyond that we can discuss price
and shipment.

position of your antenna with giving only the grid square or approximated

Subject: [Moon] Type of teflon PCB raw material
Message-ID: <1188.62.158.17.106.1263023327.squirrel@intern.netexpress.de>

Hello all,

I got a bigger lot of teflon PCB material, unfortunately I do not know
which exact type it is. Seen from the side, it looks dark brown, I haven't
etched a piece yet, so cannot tell the color of the surface.

The only indication I have are numbers on the copper, some kind of serial
numbers or what ever these are. Maybe one of can identify the material by
these numbers, which are

0.8mm thick material:
"G 1 02160101"

1.6mm thick material
"9 0414A1 31"
"90414A1 26"
"9 0414A1 32"

Would be great to know what it really is...

73, G?nter (dl4mea)

Sorry - forgot to add:

the RW1127 is the tube that gives >25W output on 24GHz with small 
modifications. It is only
sold complete with psu and ONLY for 24GHz use. There are plenty of 
solutions for 10GHz
so it would be a waste to use it on 10GHz.

Subject: [Moon] 14th International EME Conference Announcement
Message-ID: <B26C28ED8C4C47168AB5AB68DBB4804D@Al1>

14th International EME Conference Announcement

 

It is with great pleasure that W5LUA, VE4MA, WA8RJF and the North Texas
Microwave Society officially announce the 14th International EME Conference.
We cordially invite you and your family to Dallas, Texas on the 12th,13th
and 14th  of August 2010 for the premier technical and social EME event of
the year.  Whether you are an experienced EMEer or new to the lunatic
fringe, the conference will offer a wide range of technical, social and
site-seeing activities for everyone.   

 

The Conference Hotel is The Westin at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport which is
just a short shuttle ride from DFW Airport and offers first class conference
amenities at an excellent conference price of $89 USD per night plus taxes.
Their address is 4545 West John Carpenter Freeway, Irving, TX 75063. We have
guest rooms booked for Wednesday night through Saturday night. The
conference rate is only good for Wednesday through Saturday for either a
single bed or double beds. Please book your room directly with this hotel as
it helps the conference organizers meet our hotel commitment and help offset
the price of conference meeting rooms and other amenities. We expect a large
turnout and strongly recommend that you book early to avoid disappointment.
The hotel block will be held until July 12, 2010. After July 12th, it will
be difficult to get the same conference rate. Hotel registration is now
available online at 

 

 <http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/res?id=0902108016&key=7BF3D>
http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/res?id=0902108016&key=7BF3D. 

If you have any difficulties in using the on-line Westin hotel registration,
please call reservations at 888-627-8617 and reference the "EME Conference"
to get the conference rate. If all else fails please drop Al a note at
<mailto:w5lua at sbcglobal.net> w5lua at sbcglobal.net. 

 

The Dallas-Fort Worth area offers a wide range of holiday/vacation
activities. Plan on arriving at the conference hotel Wednesday afternoon or
evening. We will have a hospitality suite and registration on Wednesday
evening so we can get acquainted and prepare for a full day of family
activities on Thursday. The Thursday family activities will include air
conditioned bus tours in the Dallas Ft.Worth area. Yes it will be hot in the
Texas in August but we do have well air conditioned buses, hotels and
buildings! We are working with two local tour companies at present to find
the best activities and best deal for our group. Once the details are known
(which should be within a few weeks) we will go forth with the conference
registration and fees. While the technical sessions are going on during the
day on both Friday and Saturday, we plan two full days of family activities.
On Friday evening we have planned a fun filled evening in Ft.Worth. We will
have a Saturday night banquet at the hotel with a special guest speaker
planned. We will have a short session on Sunday morning to wrap things up
and then you are free to continue your travels. We hope that you can make
the Dallas Ft.Worth area the center of your 2010 vacation or just a stopping
point as you tour other parts of North America. The Dallas Fort Worth area
is served by DFW International Airport making international travel easy
while still a convenient jumping off point to other destinations within the
U.S.A. or Canada.

 

The hallmark of past EME conferences has been the excellent technical
presentations and the 14th EME Conference promises to live up to everyone's
expectations with an outstanding technical program. To date presentations on
the following topics by an international cast of EMErs include: 

 

-         Low Noise Amplifiers

-         Tracking the Moon and other celestial bodies

-         SSPAs/Tube Power Amplifier/TWT Workshop

-         Receiving with Software Defined Radios

-         Big Dish EME

-         Highlights from several DXpeditions.   

-         Getting started with a small dish on 1296 EME

-         Feed design and construction

-         EME Propagation

-         Software 

-         Live EME demo on 1296 MHz by WA5WCP/5

 

Of course no technical portion of a Conference is complete without the
Technical Proceedings and the 14th EME Conference Proceedings will be second
to none. If you would like to present or submit a technical article for
inclusion in the Proceedings please contact a committee member as soon as
possible.

 

We also have several electronic vendors signed up to showcase their goodies.
The vendor rooms will be open all day Friday and Saturday. If you are
interested in obtaining a vendor table, please contact us as soon as
possible before the start of the conference. 

 

We will also have noise figure measurement equipment on hand to showcase
your newest low noise amplifier or to help you troubleshoot a troubled LNA. 

. 

A special request: Most EMErs would argue that EME is the most interesting,
challenging and rewarding aspect of Amateur Radio. The EME Conference
presents not only an opportunity to swap lies with old friends or make new
friends but it also presents each of us with an opportunity to share our
passion for that unique aspect of Amateur Radio called EME with others. We
encourage you to invite any and all who may have an interest in EME. Whether
you are a seasoned EMEer or just someone wishing to see what all the fun is
about on the higher frequencies, this conference is for you.       

 

Whether this will be your 1st EME Conference or your 14th we are looking
forward to seeing you in Dallas in August 2010.

 

73 and GUD DX (via the Moon)

I guess we have to be careful when sending our high energy beams to the
moon as they can puncture the thermosphere. For more details check out 

http://www.daily.pk/norway-time-hole-%E2%80%9Cleak%E2%80%9D-plunges-northern

Don't try beaming high energy into the sky in the southern hemisphere as
the thermosphere still seems to be untouched down there..

Now I know why it's been so cold here lately.

:-) Even the next "high energy beams" (beside HAARP project as well as
beside CW EME operators, who used useless at least 10 times higher ERP,
than needed for real stable WSJT communication), the similar "monster"
for ionosphere massage is time to time used as well as in the north

I guess we have to be careful when sending our high energy beams to the
moon as they can puncture the thermosphere. For more details check out

Don't try beaming high energy into the sky in the southern hemisphere as
the thermosphere still seems to be untouched down there..

Now I know why it's been so cold here lately.

Boys - it's still more than 2 month until April first!
Don't waste all your jokes now.

Hi All, only one eme station might not change the thermospherer. But,  how 
about 1000 high power stations all calling CQ at the same time on several  
frequencies? Or, in the case of an HF contest, maybe 10,000 stations at the 
same  time?
 
Have you ever noticed the propagation improvements during a contest?  
Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi Gerald,

HF contesters have been discussing this phenomenon a number of times over the
years. Especially during periods of low sunspot activity we see remarkable
openings on the higher bands during CQ WW weekends. Could it be that cooking
the ionosphere actually creates better conditions? 

However, we have not yet linked our contest activity to a punctured
thermosphere. 

But come to think of it, we always get colder weather after the CQ WW/ARRL EME
contests in Oct/Nov.. 

Come Christmas it is always bitterly cold... so heat is leaking out
somewhere..


:-)

Hi Al, Zdenek, Peter, and all:

I am very pleased to tell you that 8J1AXA would penetrate 
the thermosphere, the atmosphere and the possible ionosphere 
on 1296MHz next weekend, Jan. 23-24.  

8J1AXA passed the telecom. inspection for 1.2G and 5.7G 
transmission Jan. 15.  Unfortunately 5.7G transmission has 
not allowed yet by JAXA.  
During the inspection, the telecom. officials requested to make 
a real QSO on 1296 via the Moon.   Shichiro JA6CZD answered to it.  
Even though the Sun is within 1 degree from the Moon, they 
had a QSO with good signals.    

Watch and listen to YouTube videos uploaded by JM1GSH.   
The operator is JE1OYE.

This is excellent news, looking forward to hear your high energy beam
bounce off the moon on 1296 MHz next weekend.

Hi Al, Zdenek, Peter, and all:

I am very pleased to tell you that 8J1AXA would penetrate
the thermosphere, the atmosphere and the possible ionosphere
on 1296MHz next weekend, Jan. 23-24.

8J1AXA passed the telecom. inspection for 1.2G and 5.7G
transmission Jan. 15.  Unfortunately 5.7G transmission has
not allowed yet by JAXA.
During the inspection, the telecom. officials requested to make
a real QSO on 1296 via the Moon.   Shichiro JA6CZD answered to it.
Even though the Sun is within 1 degree from the Moon, they
had a QSO with good signals.

Watch and listen to YouTube videos uploaded by JM1GSH.
The operator is JE1OYE.

Message-ID: <4B54A7EF.9050602@izi.re>

Hello,

I have been given a third hand dish ; it is the Orbitron SX-12.


Characteristics are :
DIAMETER : 11.7 Feet / 3.6 meters
F/D RATIO : 0.36
FOCAL LENGTH : 50.12 in. / 127.3 cm
GAIN @ 4.2 GHz : 42.2 dBi
GAIN @ 12.2 GHZ : 49.5 dBi
FEEDHORN SUPPORT : Quad Leg
SHIPPING WEIGHT: 224 lb. /102 Kg
(Heavy Duty Polar-T Mount)
FINISH : Black Powder Coat
	

I don't know if it will perform as it should, but seems to be in good 
conditions.
I have some work to do on it.

I wonder where to go... and how...for future use on EME...

Any possible activities on 1296MHz from South America

8J1AXA would like to work WAC on this band.  Low antenna elevation 

from 5 degrees (the Moon elevation even below 5 deg. ) would be fine 

from our side.   

We have a good window to PY and LU, but only for 5-10 mininutes or so.  

 

Write me.  TNX.

Hi,

I am using a screw jack with a similar indicator, but on the main axis
(slowest motion) and not the motor axis in order to shift my feed forward
and backward from the focal point

For this, I have simply connected a standard industrial counter, like you
can find in eBay 190364165919 currently (even easier, a simple
up-down-counter)

For the counter, you have to provide up-down signal from the direction
switch of your motor, and the pulses from the indicator. For a direct
display of degrees you must make some scaling, electrically it would be
problem, it won't if you do counting via a small processor, but it could
be done mechanically, also.

Gentlmen, 

To promote the EME QSO between JA and South America, 
PY2BS and 8J1AXA plan to operate 1296MHz on January 23 and 24.  

8J1AXA will begin operation from 0120Z, 30 minutes before 
the Moon-rise (perhaps no one would expect the Moon echo), 
and the Moon elevation reaches to 5 deg. (the minimum 
elevation of our antenna) at 0150Z, then their antenna will 
start tracking the Moon.  
This trial would be continued until the Moon-set of PY2BS at 
0203Z.  

Transmission in ONE minute sequence from PY2BS fist in 
even minutes.  
QRG 1296.020MHz CW
When it becomes successful, QSY to SSB.  Be prepared with 
your MIC in good condx.   

If this trial is not successful, another trial might follow 
in the same manner on Jan. 24.  

Everyone will be welcome to join us.  
See you off the Moon from the opposite two points of the Globe. 

73es,

Mike JH1KRC 
(on behalf of 8J1AXA and Bruce, PY2BS)

Hello Gary and all,

Here in PA (Netherlands) we have occasionally the change to work via 
Aurora on 144Mhz.
As the heading of the reflection area changes in time from let's say 300 
to 60 degrees it is
very usefull to have the end stop not exactly on 360 degrees but 
extended with another 90 degrees.
I have once encountered an Aurora which was so southly that a QTF of 
almost 90 degrees
has been noticed.
So the 450 degrees gives me a rotation capability with a 'free north', 
so I do not have to rotate
all the way almost 360 degrees over the south when qtf changes from 
let's say 350 degrees
to 10 degrees.
A free south is a must because of moontracking.
I guess the stations in the southern hemisphere also have the advantage 
as they can track the
moon over 360.
But I assume most southern stations have the rotor reversed and the 
clock's 360 in the south
giving a free north for moon tracking.
Good weekend and GL

Hi,

Just a note that just released on web page the South Stop tracking software 
for the CT-1 controller,
this is for those that have need to track through the zero (0) to 360 cross

 Dear Garry!

450? azimuth capability is necessary not only at V/UHF but also on HF.
USA East-coast is at 290?, West coast at 330-340?, Alaska at 350? from Budapest (located in Middle-Europe). On the other hand Japan is at 25...40?. Therefore 90? overlapping (i.e. 450? capability) is an advantage for us, providing a fast change from JA to W and fro. Furthermore the Pacific Ocean offering a lot of luring rare DXCCs can be seen in the 300..60? range, e.g. KH6 is at 0?.  Many small pistols have a single tower with an HF yagi topped with a small V/UHF array. Thus we European small pistols, running both a HF and a V/UHF station need this feature day by day.

Hello Gary and all,

Here in PA (Netherlands) we have occasionally the change to work via 
Aurora on 144Mhz.
As the heading of the reflection area changes in time from let's say 300 
to 60 degrees it is
very usefull to have the end stop not exactly on 360 degrees but 
extended with another 90 degrees.
I have once encountered an Aurora which was so southly that a QTF of 
almost 90 degrees
has been noticed.
So the 450 degrees gives me a rotation capability with a 'free north', 
so I do not have to rotate
all the way almost 360 degrees over the south when qtf changes from 
let's say 350 degrees
to 10 degrees.
A free south is a must because of moontracking.
I guess the stations in the southern hemisphere also have the advantage 
as they can track the
moon over 360.
But I assume most southern stations have the rotor reversed and the 
clock's 360 in the south
giving a free north for moon tracking.
Good weekend and GL

Hello EME:rs

After looking back in my loogbook last year i realized i must do something 
about it.


I have today mounted a single 15 dBd antenna and will be looking over the 
band in the second timeslot.  I will also try to make some CQ around 
144045mhz now and then during the activity.

The amplifier  have been collecting dust last year but it seem to behave 
normal so far. (carefull start,,)


My thought was to rebuild a bigger144mhz system and also build up a 1296 
system but time have not been available to finish everything.  I now take a 
little step back and try instead to be QRV with small 144mhz system and put 
the freetime to be ready on 1296 with the 4M dish during this coming summer. 
(all parts almost ready)

Lesson learned,,,!!    It is much better to be QRV with a small 
antennasystem instead of sitting on the side and not be able to hear 
anything from the Moon.

PS: Most of the parts for big signal on 144mhz almost complete.

It was nice to work today 8J1AXA via Moon. I reached thanks to them #267CW
and #84JT on 1296 MHz. Signal was pretty good, -5dB JT, 599 CW and 55 SSB.
During Moonset I worked also Anders LA8LF 579 and Viggo LA9NEA 579. Both
produced great signal on CW. Next two weeks I will be traveling TA and UA3.
Looking forward for SSB EME contest 1296 MHz if WX permit operate my dish.

While i was lowering the array, the winch broke, and all array went down 
the tower.

Antennas broken, Hframe bent, coax and rotators cable cut, flexible low 
loss coax between divider and relay cut, etc......

Big loss for me. This is a very bad situation for me. I wonder if i will 
be able to put up something again for 70c...

Sorry for stations that i had skeds with....

Hello Peter,
many thanks for our contact, on 1st Dubus 2m CW EME Activity Event of 2010.
Unfortunately on this weekend, i was really very busy with two friendly
football
matches of my team and so i have been active only for about two hours on 1st
window.
Anyway it was just fun, as usual, on working you and the other friends.

Hello Phil!
I'm sorry to hear that you lost the antennas and the opportunity to work 
eme. I also lost a few times eme antennas and at the beginning I could 
not be reconciled. However after some time when I rested , I designed 
and built a new system even larger 16 x Yagis on the mast of the lift 
with a possibility of parking on the ground antennas. In addition, I ran 
the new band and I am now qrv eme on 2m , 70cm, 23cm and I still plan 13cm.
A brief history about this: http://www.sm2cew.com/aw_pres_dcs.html and 
http://sp7dcs.webpark.pl.
Do not give up, and already thought about the new antenna system even 
better, because the virus EME is incurable .

Keep fingers crossed and good luck!

Hello!


I had the pleasure to be QRV again but with small antennasystem. I could 
only be active during second timeslot.

I heard OK1MS with big signal and partial from DK3NG.  I also heard SM7GVF 
with both local signal and echo.

I worked OZ1HNE who had from time to time very big echo. I also managed to 
Work SM2CEW during my CQ .


I hope to be QRV also in second timeslot next activity event.

Hi Phil.
I am very sorry. I hope you will manage to repair this damage in the near 
future. You are the only station QRV on 70cm  from this part of the Earth.
And you had very good signals off the Moon!!

Hello,

First, thanks to all Friends who by their emails and kind words make me 
look ahead and think about new station...You all know how i feel!
It looks like a number of us had that bad and dangerous experience. Good 
thing is that no one was hurt ; this happens while i was turning the 
winch ; things gone so fast that i had no time to react...I will have to 
think about a security system on new array!

Here, I was currently using 8x21el F9FT abt 4.56m boom with 0.1db/m 
phasing lines, for 26.6dbi calculated gain on array, not including loss.

I wonder if i'd not better go for a 4 yagi array and better coax as 
phasing line. It would be less complicated for me in case of cyclone 
warning and less mechanical stress/weigh on the tower.

By playing with VK3UM performance calculator, i see that i may have 
almost same (or better) overall RX performance with 4x17dbd(+) yagi...

I see for example that with 4x27el DK7ZB (7.03m boom) given for 17.7dbd, 
i can reach (25.6dbi) on the total array, 1dbi less than with 8x21FT, 
but on the RX side, things could be better than the 8x21FT...

I first need to see what size of square aluminium i can find here.
Also see what i may find to use for the element to boom insulator.

I would like to come back on 70cms as i have equipment on that band. So 
any feedback on >17dbd yagi design in a 4 yagi array?

Considering >432Mhz, the only thing i have for the moment is the 3.6m 
dish, no rx, no tx, no pa, no lna etc. Still don't know which band to 
choose, but it seems that 23cms is the best candidate. The dish here 
should go quite high on qrg.

Now the amount of work is quite heavy, and i'm alone on that field of 
EME here.

Maybe should i consider moving higher on qrg, with just the dish in the 
garden, and concentrate on qrg above 432?

Thanks again to all of you who offered help. It's true that from here 
it's hard to become qrv on these extremes of Ham radio.

Fellow moonbouncers, 
	
A fair bit of rime frost on the yagis shot the SWR into the red zone. I
operated anyhow and I was actually quite pleased with performance despite
this detuning of my array. Conditions were strange (Aurora here), cross
polarization even within Europe, at least during the first pass. Managed to
work these fine stations on 2m CW:

OZ1HNE, F0CXO, IK2DDR, I3EVK, YO2AMU, IK1FJI, IT9CJC, F1FLA, VE1KG, OK1MS,
SM7WSJ, K9MRI (=1400 points).

Was only on for a brief moment during the 2nd pass due to family
committments. 

Next 2m CW EME activity event is scheduled February 20 at 09.00-12.00 GMT
and 17.00-20.00 GMT.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the remark that you did not hurt yourself in the accident with 
the antennas.

Ok that damaged antenna is about the worst that can happen to a ham but to 
be honest I was  also wondering if you managed to avoid getting wounded 
yourself.



Reading about your plan to rebuild antennas I can tell you that I used a 
little piece of plastic plug to fix the elements to the boom.

The plastic plug is in fact a detail used to plug the holes you drill into 
cavities of cars when rust-protecting.

The plug is a small cone that I cut of by the tip and then pressed into the 
boom and then drove the element through it.

It is ok for use on 70cm but on 2m the element is to heavy. Have tried 
that.....

I used 6mm solid elements as it is the smallest dimension that I found.

The best reason for using this little plug was the price as I got 1000pcs 
for ?37 and for almost any thing you use it takes two per element.



I know that you can also use shrink tubing for insulation and I tested also 
that method but liked this one better.



Finally I also would like to se you going for a dish and hopefully se you 
qrv also on 23 and maybe 13cm....



Anyway gl with what you decide



/Per SM3JQU

Hi Guys,

i am looking for a VHF push-pull power MOS Transistor BLF368 from Phillips.

Need it as a reserve part during my next EME activities as HS0ZIL in case of
killing the built in, HI!

Will be there during march and april and hope to work a lot more stations
than in October last year.

Looking forward your offers.

Phil, 

In my 2m array I use melt glue to fix the element to the boom. The xpol
array (216 elements) was built in 1994 and so far I have not lost one
single element. I use 4mm aluminium welding rods as elements and a piece of
heat shrink tubing in the center of the element to isolate it from the
boom. The hole through the boom is 4.7mm diameter, just enough to pass the
element + heat shrink tubing. Use a glue gun to apply melt glue on both
sides of the boom. Voil?.. done!

This must be the cheapest way to go..? Works for me in temperatures ranging
from +35C to -45C. I was a little skeptical when I built the array but 16
years later I think I have proven the point, it works. I have also built
other 2m and 70cm yagis using the same method. 

This might be food for thought. 

Take care, and hope to see you soon on the bands again!

Hello,

I'd like to say big thank for all support i have got from you!

So many replies that i really can not answer individually.
Lot of encouragements, lot of good ideas, ... lot of help!

A big thank to all of you and i now need to take some time to see the 
best way to go. Lot of directions and possibilities, but i still need to 
check more carefully the broken antennas, rotators etc...so far i had 
almost no time for that, and somewhere, i probably did not want to see 
that mess again...

More to come...

Hi Peter, 

I wonder whats more frequently the case in your area? 

+35c?? or?? -45c? ? 

Probably?? -45c?? ( know it was only -34c this year!)

Perhaps you like to bring up a story about your subperb array 
on your blog:

Looking forward for some pictures!

Phil, 

In my 2m array I use melt glue to fix the element to the boom. The xpol
array (216 elements) was built in 1994 and so far I have not lost one
single element. I use 4mm aluminium welding rods as elements and a piece of
heat shrink tubing in the center of the element to isolate it from the
boom. The hole through the boom is 4.7mm diameter, just enough to pass the
element + heat shrink tubing. Use a glue gun to apply melt glue on both
sides of the boom. Voil?.. done!

This must be the cheapest way to go..? Works for me in temperatures ranging
from +35C to -45C. I was a little skeptical when I built the array but 16
years later I think I have proven the point, it works. I have also built
other 2m and 70cm yagis using the same method. 

This might be food for thought. 

Take care, and hope to see you soon on the bands again!

Phil,

sorry to hear about your disaster. I can agree Peters method works fine, 
have several antennas built with this system just easy cheap and quick. 
If you will rebuild a system use DJ9BV design. Im using this at my 
16x13wl and works real good. Better G/T as the Tonnas, uncritical in 
tolerances bad wx proof and you can chosse the lenght you need. And 4 
longer antennas are much better than 8 short onces. Lower losses in feed 
lines are important.

73 from winterly germany,
-18 last night , now snow strom with 5cm + in 2 hours.

Hi Doug and all,  

   Hope you and Helen are fine and swell.  
Unfortunately, 8J1AXA nor JH1KRC does not have a 70cm feed 
now.   Instead, both are going to operate 23cm this weekend.  

8J1AXA invites high school student ops for Sat. windows both 
for NA and EU.   18m dish, HB9BBD LNA, 200 watts at TX.  
They are to stop operation at the end of March this year.  
Work them and stimulate for the future EME ops to become!! 

JH1KRC has succeeded to change his over-weekend duty to 
someone else and woud be able to try manual moon tracking 
with a CCD video camera for NA and EU windows on 23cm, 
next Satruday.   
4.4m TVRO dish, SM0PYP/WA6P feed, HB9BBD LNA and 0.8kW 
at TX. 

Recently DPDT vacuum relay in the plate DC HV power supply 
flashed over and had to be replaced.   Vacuum relays become 
not-vacuum state after years.   Another DPDT vacuum relays 
for HF ANT tuner have corrosion inside!!

Hello!


It looks like the numbers in moonsked say it is a big chance to make som 
good contacts this weekend.  If WX is good i will show up saturday evening 
after 2000z.

I received input from both OZ1HNE and SM2CEW,DK3NG who said i had a pretty 
good signal last weekend. Now with much lower degradation i expect to 
receive echoes on my single yagi.

I will try to put som info about activity on 
http://www.chris.org/cgi-bin/cw-eme   saturday evening if all looks OK.

Space Weather News for Jan. 28, 2010


FULL MOON AND MARS:  Friday night's full Moon is the biggest and  brightest 
full Moon of the year.  It's a "perigee Moon," as much as 14%  wider and 
30% brighter than other full Moons you'll see later in 2010.  But  that's not 
all.  Mars is having a close encounter with Earth, and on Friday  night, 
Jan. 29th, it will join the Moon for an all-night-long conjunction. Don't  miss 
it! Sky maps and images may be found at

I have new idea about this transverter. Can you give me your opinions ?

I saw on the website of Bo OZ2M some technical descriptions http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/lt23s.htm

Is there some of you who already used it  ?

Many thanks for your answer.

  I would like to have some helps for a 23 cm EME station.

  I project to be qrv on 23 cm for EME but I'm totally a novice on this band.

  My dish will be a 1,4m.

  What do you advice me for transverter 144 -> 1296, for preamp and amp ?

  What is the minimum power for a 1,4 m dish ?

I have one such unit. We used it in the EME experiment
at SK6OSO in july 2009.

It has a couple of serious flaws:

1. The XO is severly unstable. It needs to be replaced with something
   of better stability.

2. The unit has excesseive IF gain after the down converter mixer.
   This needs to be fixed. The IF noise is "disturbing".

3. It has no separate paths for RX and TX, but this can be
   easily modified.

Hello Moonbouncers!

Singleyagi activity report


I was on a couple of hours yesterday and had from time to time very good own 
echo.

I managed to work DK2PH and F0CXO who did a little while peak 529 in signal. 
I also heard DK3NG and had a couple of other callers who i just could not 
dig out of the noise. I got a little confused a while and started to believe 
very sure i heard one specific station but changed my thoughts after a 
little while HI!

I could see the echo and also hear them very week from IK2DDR who could not 
run any big power. (i hope all is OK with amp Francesco!)

I see that i for now have a big differense in how i am heard and how well i 
am able to copy. It is not all about my RX as i when i tried to work DK3NG 
had better own echo compared to the signal i could see in spectran when he 
was calling me. (Faraday was very good most of the evening)

I have started to think about making a try in N1BUG style and mount the 
preamplfier direct over the DE 
http://www.g1ogy.com/www.n1bug.net/station/neweme/432qrp.html

Compared to now when i have it in a box on the tower,  I would get away with 
7 meter shorter low loss cable. Maybe it is not worth the extra work to make 
such a small improvement but everey 1/10 of dB counts when you run a to 
small antenna i guess,,,

I will be doing this with small setup a couple of months before i add second 
antenna and polarityswitsh.

PS: Sri to the one i could not copy as i know i was heard loud in many 
places
