Thorrud) Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2016 14:12:25 +0200 Subject: [Moon] DUBUS 6CM and Mr. Murphy. Message-ID: <70B76E3B270042C9A812AA46F5BDBAAB@Torunn> Sri, yesterday morning Mr. Murphy struck. After qso with SM6FRZ (569-559) and G3LTF (559-559) with moon still covered 40-50% by trees on moonrise, the sequencer relay controlling the isolation antenna relay went bust and my Kuhne LNA was distroyed. At an age of 78 and on different drugs, I can no longer operate a soldering system (iron and hot air) so LNA has to go back to Kuhne for repair. In the future I will have a spare lna for each of the bands I am operating. There is no way you can be 100% safe from burning LNA. With 3.5dB of tree noise, I had no moon noise for tracking. However, my mechanical tracking system was accurate enough to see signals on the SDR-IQ waterfall screen and thereby adjust for best antenna position untill moon noise tracking could be achieved. Those that does not have SDR and SpectraVue, should consider this fantastic tool. Not only for detecting moon noise and locate activity, but as a tool in "Continuum" mode.to see if the transceivers, lna's and cables work to full satisfaction. Hope to work you all from my new location (new initial) next spring. 73, Anders, LA8LF www.la8lf.com From g3ltf at btinternet.com Mon Jul 4 19:21:20 2016 From: g3ltf at btinternet.com (Peter Blair) Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 18:21:20 +0100 Subject: [Moon] G3LTF- 6cm Dubus CW contest Message-ID: A great weekend of EME, I think it must be the highest level of activity that we have ever had on 6cm for any eme contest. The only problem I had was that the wind got too strong on Saturday afternoon to continue much after 1400 but Sunday was calm all day and the dish followed the moon well with occasional tweaks on moon noise. I worked on Saturday HB9Q, JA4BLC, JA1WQF, JA8IAD #57, LA8LF, UA4HTS, G4NNS, JA6CZD, UA3PTW, PA0BAT, DF3RU, OH2DG, F1PYR, OK1CA, SQ6OPG, OK1KIR, DL7YC, ES5PC, SM6FHZ, SM6PGP, UZ5DZ, VE4MA, OH1LRY #58, WA6PY, K2UYH and on Sunday VK3NX, JF3HUC #59, PA3DZL, IK2RTI, PA7JB, LX1DB, WA9FWD, VE6TA, and SP6GWN #60. IK3COJ was CWNR, otherwise I worked everyone I heard. Total of 34 stations. One rather strange thing, I noticed long slow QSB, about 5 seconds duration, on the JA signals on Saturday around 0400-0430. It must have been a libration null, I have experienced this on 23cm but never before on 6cm, quite weird. JA1WQF reported QSB to me in our QSO at 0435. I measured 1.3dB Moon noise (368,000 km) on Sunday and sun noise of 14.8dB. I was running 40W to my HB 6m dish. Thanks to all for the nice QSOs and thanks to Yoshiro, JA4BLC for organising the JAs and QRGs Dont forget logs must be in by July16th see http://www.marsport.org.uk/dubus/EMEContest2016.pdf ,lets have a record entry. 73 Peter G3LTF From g3ltf at btinternet.com Mon Jul 4 19:26:35 2016 From: g3ltf at btinternet.com (Peter Blair) Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 18:26:35 +0100 Subject: [Moon] Correction to my 6cm report Message-ID: Sorry, SP6GWN was not an initial, we worked in 2011. 73 Peter G3LTF From pa3dzl at ziggo.nl Mon Jul 4 21:58:02 2016 From: pa3dzl at ziggo.nl (Jac de Bruijn) Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 21:58:02 +0200 Subject: [Moon] TNX Yoshiro JA4BLC for organising the JA-activity - 6cm Dubus CW contest In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <001b01d1d62e$5f5a05f0$1e0e11d0$@nl> As Peter already wrote: JA4BLC Yoshiro many thanks for organising the JA-activity on 6cm.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <201607062053.u66KrWUJ008220@mail42c28.carrierzone.com> Lance, Good. Another chance. I copied some stations working you last year but not you*. That did permit me to determine peak ground gain was about 13-15 degrees elevation. My single yagi does not have elevation and is 1 WL high. *Note reception was with K3 plus PR6 preamp at the shack thru 7/8-inch line to 6-element yagi; I have a ARR preamp going into a box at tower-top so that might make a slight improvement in NF. Looking at the common windows they are near end of US or beginning of EU window when you are at high elevation. All depends on my getting the amplifier ready in time. 73, Ed - KL7UW I will not be installing the 2nd 6m yagi with elevation until next year (too much else in progress this summer). I may be off 2m-eme for a couple months (est Aug-Sep) if we build a new 26x18 foot ham shack onto the garage which requires moving the shack and re-cabling everything. I should be able to maintain cables to dish and 6m tower during most of that process.

While this is primarily an MS operation on 6m, 4m and 2m we also plan to operate 2m EME. We will have four by 9 ele LFAs, appropriately excited with full elevation. The site should be quiet and we should be able to hear much better than we could at a noisy site last year. We expect to be on the air on Tuesday 9th August and we will have to balance the EME operation with MS operation when EU is awake and busy and the meteor reflections are good so we do not have a timetable for the EME operation. We plan to be QRV from Tuesday 9th up until the night of Sunday 14th. We will be on 'KST while we are operating MS and we will likely use HB9Q or N0UK chats when we switch to EME. I know EI is not rare on EME but IO44 is! We will be try our best to work as many stations as we can. This is a fulltime operation although we will take meal breaks! 73 John EI2FG / EI9E From rein0zn at ix.netcom.com Mon Jul 18 18:59:11 2016 From: rein0zn at ix.netcom.com (rein0zn at ix.netcom.com) Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 09:59:11 -0700 (GMT-07:00) Subject: [Moon] 432 and Above EME Newsletter for July 2016 Message-ID: <12758258.1468861151324.JavaMail.wam@elwamui-karabash.atl.sa.earthlink.net> Hello All, The 432 MHz and Above EME Newsletter for July 2016 by K2UYH can be downloaded from: http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/em70cm.html -- Enjoy 73 Rein W6SZ From k6pf at sbcglobal.net Wed Jul 20 05:47:13 2016 From: k6pf at sbcglobal.net (Bob Kocisko) Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 20:47:13 -0700 Subject: [Moon] Many More items for Sale (mostly VHF / UHF) - Update Message-ID: Tnx to so many of you, I've sold a lot of the items recently posted.

I will be setting up on Thursday but the main audience will be on Friday and then Saturday. Internet will only be from the hotel room unless someone has a hot spot for me in the parking lot. I have been working on this set up for weeks and have not had the time to make a QSO yet with it but all the key parts are there. The system is a 1 m offset fed dish. Measured sun noise is 7.7 dB dB and 5.25 dB ground to cold sky. Power is supplied by a G3WDG GaN PA and driver. I have only pushed it to 40 watts at the feed but it seems to work nicely. I have both CW and JT-4F on one Win 7 laptop and a second XP laptop can do Doppler frequency correction with the K5GW program. At the moment I have a CW sked with K5GW on Saturday July 30th at 1300Z on 10368.050 MHz. I have tentative skeds with WA3LBI and G3WDG on JT-4F. Details forthcoming. If logger coordination is failing , I will always be transmitting on 10368.1 MHz from EN34sb. I guess if we wanted to get brave , I would transmit on 10368.1 MHz on the moon but that may be more confusing. So?if I am transmitting on 10368.1 MHz from EN34sb, you will then have to adjust your transmit frequency such that it falls on my echo frequency just like I was calling CQ on CW or JT-4F. Hope to work a few. Keep in mind this is purely a demo to try to get more people interested in 10 GHz EME in the US. I still want to get some sleep, hihi and attend the conference too so?operating time will be limited. I hope you understand. 73 Al W5LUA/0 EN34sb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Moon-Net posting and subscription instructions are at http://www.nlsa.com/nets/moon-net-help.html From g3ltf at btinternet.com Thu Jul 28 11:49:09 2016 From: g3ltf at btinternet.com (Peter Blair) Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:49:09 +0100 Subject: [Moon] 3cm activity Weekend 30-31 July Message-ID: <74A688E826AB48C7A3CBE55BF7869D58@PeterKBlairPC5> A reminder that July 30-31st is the 3cm Activity Weekend......for newcomers: The idea of activity weekends is to encourage activity on the higher microwave bands outside contest weekends.

Always enjoyable to listen to high end technical speeches, be in good company and .... being in Sweden of course ? Perhaps I could find something to speech about f.i. like the repair of Slaweks noisemeter. That was almost like a brainsurgery!

Today I worked DL6SH on JT he was very strong. I could ear him on the radio speaker.The 8M dish works well on 144Mhz for Slawek. Nice seeing you Slawek since EME 2014 in France.

Thanks to Peter G3LTF to make this happen. First i did have some problems with not finding the moon and later also the moon. But after playing with my dish i did see 15db sunnoise and 1,7 db moonnoise. Saturday i did work OZ1LPR , OH2AHX # , HB9Q # DB6NT # OH2DG , PA3DZL # DF1SR # and also Paul WA6PY # For me the weekend was more then complet It was nice to work Micheal DB6NT from the moon special because he is the man who helped us with all lunatics with the nice microwave parts TNX Micheal !! Then sunday it was for me only some hours to play and i did work SA6BUN # and G3WDG # So i did make 10 qso in CW and 8 are new . Again Peter 3LTF thank you for organize this weekend ..... 73 John PA7JB 2,4meter offset dish 50 watt ( RW1127) RA3AQ feed and an DL3BPC preamp From wa3lbi at me.com Sun Jul 31 22:42:13 2016 From: wa3lbi at me.com (James Malone) Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2016 16:42:13 -0400 Subject: [Moon] 3 cm EME ACTIVITY WEEKEND Message-ID: <0a6c01d1eb6c$051850d0$0f48f270$@me.com> Hello , I also want to thank Peter G3LTF for organizing this event. I certailnly need more practice with my station as I am a builder more than an operator! There were plenty of signals ! Doppler is still a challenge I need to study this more to make better use of random contacts calling CQ. I heard and visualized (with waterfall and spectrum monitors) many CW stations . Since my ears and CW skills are poor (plus Doppler) I have avoided trying CW for now. I worked W5LUA with a very small station . my main target . I hope to see more activity on 3cm as it is my main EME band. I have a new TWTA and hope to mount it on the antenna soon . 73 to all! Hope to see you again (maybe even CW and Circular POL!)

Still using a non optimised feed but a new one is under way. I will now start the process of converting the manually controlled ? lash up? into a fully usable system, including a PA.. I was only on for Sunday but in the short window that I have I heard HB9Q, OK1KIR, OZ1LPR, all big signals especially Peter, OZ1LPR. I could just copy SM6CKU and partially copy IZ1DJP and SA6BUN. Moon noise was 0.9dB . I know there are more improvements that I can make to feed and preamp NF. I?m glad everyone enjoyed it and the kind comments are appreciated, (but its not really a lot of work!) I was also delighted to work ZS6EME during the week on 13cm ssb and today on CW IK5QLO with an excellent signal.
