[Moon] [Moon-Net] Getting Started on EME with Focus on 432 and Up

[Sam Jewell]

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?

This short course will show how you can get started will very small antennas and low power – 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.
