Hi all,

I am sorry about yesterday EME activity in 23cm from HK1H. I have had a lot of issues because this was just a test or experiment during a family trip. Next time I hope to do it better.

The Rx protection relay failed and I had to run to the antenna and change manually from preamp to dummy load in every period...

The setup was a horn antenna, Tommy WD5AGO design, around 2m long and 800cm wide, with square septum feed. 250w single transistor amplifier kit from Conrad G0RUZ, and Sam G4DDK´s VLNA fine preamp 0.3nf 37dB.

In some days I´ll write a small article to publish in Dubus, about this activation with a couple of pictures.

The target was to test the horn antenna and be able to set HK off the Moon in 1296 first time ever, so; mission accomplished.

So far I got just four contacts; Howard - G4CCH, Dan - HB9Q, Bruce - PY2BS and Jan - PI9CAM.
Please, QSL cards to M0HAO.

I am not sure if I can be active again, as the Moon window is very late and I got family requests.

Thank you very much

73, Maximo - EA1DDO & HK1H
