Hi Al, Peter, and all:

There will be held the JA-EME National Meeting 2016 in Sapporo, Hokkaido JA8, June 18-19.  
It is the best confortable and refreshing season in JA8, the 
most northern tip of Japanese Islands.  

There are several international flights directed to Sapporo, 
and it would be 1h 20m or so from Tokyo/Narita international 
airport. 

Fron last month the new Hokkaido Shinkansen Super Express 
train is running from Tokyo via Tohoku JA7 area.  If you are 
keen train rider, this would be the best choice. 

Join us for the All Japan EME meeting before Tokyo Olympic 2020.  

Contact a.s.a.p. JA8ERE, JA8IAD, or someone else in JA EME community!!

Are you bidding for EME2018 at Venice?
That might be of great interest.......
Venice already booked, so unlikely to do two events this year!

Hi All.

I plan to join the JA-stations on 6cm from 08Z on Saturday April 9 and
Sunday April 10. I will stay on 6cm my full Moon pass until 18Z on Saturday
and until 18Z on Sunday if activity on the band motivates being persistent,
that is :;-) I would be most delighted by a swell activity on 6cm from
Italy in the ARI contest.

I have upgraded my receiver with a lower loss protection relay and hope to
hear slightly better than before.

I will hopefully monitor the HB9Q chat. Anyone that would like a sked,
please drop me a line.

Good luck to all in the ARI contest and see you all there.

Hi Peter et all
I put the VE4MA 13 cm feed with the choke ring on the bore site & removed
the 23 cm feed. 4.9 meter / 16 foot dish. FD = .3
My dish is a conversion of an original 12 foot dish to 16 feet in diameter
by the manufacturer. I suspect the design is responsible for the fact I can
never quite see the sun noise I think I should see. It's always about 1 db
low on 23 or 13 cm. Focal point is that of the original 12 foot dish. They
just extended the diameter. Curvature errors??????
I am seeing about 14.5 db sun noise now which seems low but it's a whole lot
better than it was at 10-11 db.
I had the 13 cm feed nested in the 23 cm choke ring before. It worked but
not very well. Worked about 12 stations but never heard an echo.
130 watts or so at feed. I'll bet I can hear echoes now. I'll try today when
my moon clears the trees to my east. 
I can get on this weekend. I lost the ability to find the moon with the 23
cm beacon which helped a lot but I can still find it.
The focal point seems to have moved out abt an inch from where the 23 cm
feed peaked. Lots of variables. It may be the 23 cm was not optimum.. Anyone
know why it would move????
I'll be on the HB9Q from now through the weekend.
I am going to pick up the UHF TV transmitter which the famous K5SO converted
to 23 cm next Wednesday.
He no longer wants it so I made a deal with him to buy it.
K5SO offered me a free 15 foot dish but I don't need it or have room for it.

PS I am fired up again guys. At 77 years young I am just getting ready for
round two. :-)

Getting Started on EME with Focus on 432 and Up

Great Steve, The 13cm feed position will be " sharper" than the 23cm. Way to 
do it is to make sun noise measurements every 1" through the region of the 
focus and plot the curve. My dish has a fixed error on the surface ( when I 
cut the jig for the ribs I forgot to allow for the mesh thickness) plus 
there are still some residual alignment errors and the "focal point" moves 
quite smoothly with frequency from 23cm to 6cm by about 52mm ( ~2")
GL with the echoes... they will be there!

Hi Peter et all
I put the VE4MA 13 cm feed with the choke ring on the bore site & removed
the 23 cm feed. 4.9 meter / 16 foot dish. FD = .3
My dish is a conversion of an original 12 foot dish to 16 feet in diameter
by the manufacturer. I suspect the design is responsible for the fact I can
never quite see the sun noise I think I should see. It's always about 1 db
low on 23 or 13 cm. Focal point is that of the original 12 foot dish. They
just extended the diameter. Curvature errors??????
I am seeing about 14.5 db sun noise now which seems low but it's a whole lot
better than it was at 10-11 db.
I had the 13 cm feed nested in the 23 cm choke ring before. It worked but
not very well. Worked about 12 stations but never heard an echo.
130 watts or so at feed. I'll bet I can hear echoes now. I'll try today when
my moon clears the trees to my east.
I can get on this weekend. I lost the ability to find the moon with the 23
cm beacon which helped a lot but I can still find it.
The focal point seems to have moved out abt an inch from where the 23 cm
feed peaked. Lots of variables. It may be the 23 cm was not optimum.. Anyone
know why it would move????
I'll be on the HB9Q from now through the weekend.
I am going to pick up the UHF TV transmitter which the famous K5SO converted
to 23 cm next Wednesday.
He no longer wants it so I made a deal with him to buy it.
K5SO offered me a free 15 foot dish but I don't need it or have room for it.

Hi Gentlemen

I have improved my 13 cm feed and I am seeing 4 db more sun noise.

I will be QRV on 13 cm this weekend .  I can receive on 2304 and 2320 with
more bands soon.

Look for me on the HB9Q chat site.

Hi all

 

HB9Q will be QRV (all modes) on 3400 MHz (NOT participating in the Contest)
on April 16th from 13.00 until 16.00z and from about 20z until at least 22z
(depending on activity we may stay longer). Most probably we will NOT be QRV
on April 17th.

We'll be using our 10m solid dish and 100W at feed. We are very interested
to work QRP stations and new initials, please give-it a try!

As always we are stand-by on the HB9Q logger where we will announce our CQ
frequency. 

 

Good luck and lots of fun!

Vy 73, Dan HB9Q

Hi All.

Recently I ran across PA0EHG, Hans, web page hosting a table of 6cm EME
stations equipment and noise measures. Excellent initiative from Hans!

It can be of great help to other stations to get the most out of their own
station getting inspiration and hints on how others has solved it and the
results they got.

http://home.planet.nl/~alphe078/6cmemestations.htm

I am sure Hans will keep it up to date if *YOU *only submit your
information to him.

6cm is an very nice EME band and is becoming more and more accessible for
more stations as the new devices like GaN power transistors are available
at affordable prices and easy to copy designs are to be found on the
Internet.

http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cree-inc/CGH40035F/CGH40035F-ND/1944140

will give you ~50W at 6cm with about 10 dB of gain.

An 2.3 m dish, a good CP feed and 50W will put you on the band with good
success.

You should give it a try!

Lots of activity and, for once, calm weather. Even though the declination was fairly low I managed to work through the trees (no leaves yet) for some early QSOs. I worked 21,  HB9Q, VK3NX, DF3RU, OK1CA, SP6OPN, OK1DFC, OZ6OL, S59DCD, S57NML, ES5PC, S53MM, OK1KIR, PA3DZL, SM6PGP, G4CCH, OH1LRY, PA0BAT, VE4MA, OH2DG, 9A5AA, K2UYH. A very weak station called me at about 17.30 on Sunday but never responded to my QRZ. A pity as with a bit more time for tuning in the right filter width, they would have been readable. On 17th at 0920 I had 18.4dB sun noise (SF109) and 5.4dB Gnd / CS and at 1500 moon noise was 1.3dB. (400Kkm)
Thanks to all for the nice QSOs,

One of the problems for organisers is that of ensuring that people still attend the event. Where the event is 'free', such as our Microwave Round Tables,  there is not so much of a problem, although running a raffle or auction in order to raise some money, in order to pay some speaker's expenses, really requires attendees. Paying events have to get a real footfall or they will quickly disappear from the schedule.
I am in complete sympathy with those who wish to view on line video because they can't attend in person, but you need to realise that if there is need to raise money, it is not as straightforward as just arranging streaming. Even that can be expensive sometimes. 
Perhaps paid for (video on demand) might be a better way forward?

EME is even possible from an apartment balcony, from where it has been done many times.  The course will cover all aspects of EME including choice of band, operating modes and procedures, equipment requirements, antennas (inexpensive) and mounting, Moon tracking and polarization, Doppler considerations, system evaluation (Sun and Moon noise) and EME dxpeditions.  Ample time will be allocated for questions and answers.

Al K2UYH has asked me to post this for him. Please include his address in any response. see my comments at the end.

Would you  post this on Moon.  This is a new protocol - out for about a year.  It is supposed to provide extended distance at 433 MHz, but is wideband.  I wonder if any others have experience with these devices.  It seems they could be the cause of some of the new interference I and others are experiencing on 432.

SX1276 LoRa? based module with SPI interface
 Packet radio with ready-to-go Arduino libraries
 Uses the amateur or license-free ISM band (ITU "Europe" license-free ISM or ITU "American" amateur with limitations)
 +5 to +20 dBm up to 100 mW Power Output Capability (power output selectable in software)
 ~300uA during full sleep, ~120mA peak during +20dBm transmit, ~40mA during active radio listening.
 Simple wire antenna or spot for uFL connector
 Our initial tests with default library settings: over 1.2mi/2Km line-of-sight with wire quarter-wave antennas. (With setting   tweaking and directional antennas, 20Km is possible).73, Al ? K2UYH

G3LTF.... I googled SX1276 and found this  overview  My UK expert source says....  ?From looking at one of the docs it seems to default to 19k2 baud ....It looks like you can potentially set them up to breach the 10mw  ISM exemption limit depending on their software, duty cyle, antenna but thats where enforcement isnt very effective?

Hello Guys

Does anyone know how much power the HF-400 relay will handle on 1296 CW or
SSB?

I want to run my 1500 watt TH-327 amplifier on 1296 tropo.

I have put 600 watts through it but I am afraid to raise the power any
higher.
