Hello all

 

HB9Q will be QRV May 7th and 8th, but we do not participate in the contest.
We will not be on all the moon-window. If you would like to work us drop us
an e-mail to dan at hb9q.ch with the date and time you will be QRV. We will be
happy to look for you. During our activity we will post our CQ frequency on
the 10 GHz logger.

Hi All
As there are five Japanese stations to plan QRV on 10G coming weekend,  
we wish to notice you our operating plan to avoid any confusion as less  
as possible. JAs should transmit on 10450MHz as legal restriction (no  
allocation on 10368 MHz).

information will be announced later this week.

Good Morning All,

I will be QRV on 3 cm for the DUBUS contest with 2.4m dish and 50 W at the LINEAR feed. ( I have CP but will not use it )

Yesterday my echoes were 10-12 dB/ N with low libration and sun noise was 16.1 dB & moon noise ~1.8 dB

My window is from ~80 to 165 degrees and I need 15 degrees elevation.

Sorry I will not be QRV on 24 GHz this time ( Have arcing HV connector to repair?)

Best 73 & GL

Hi All.

If someone, in spite of the 3 cm EME contest, would like to try a QSO via 6
cm EME this upcoming weekend (Saturday and/or Sunday) I can be QRV.

If so, please drop me a line and we can make a sked. I would love to some
new stations and we have a quite nice Perigee now and decent declination.

If no proposals, I will commence with other activities.

Hi all!

 

Hermann DL2NUD asked me to post this information for him.

 

Hermann is very sorry to announce that he will NOT be QRV 3cm. Due to
performance problems of the used antenna system (mainly lack of suited horn)
he had to make the decision not to take the 3cm equipment with him. 

 

Now the good news: Hermann plans to be QRV as follows

11. May               if all goes well he should become QRV before his MS,
he will be on 5760.100

12. May               5760.100 from MR to MS

13. May               2320.100 from MR to MS, 2304 on request (HB9Q
eme-logger)

14. / 15. May     1296.100 from MR to MS

16. May               2320.100 from MR to MS, 2304 on request (HB9Q
eme-logger)

17. May               5760.100 from MR to MS

18. to 23. May   he will decide during the activity what band what day,
depending on needs, he will announce on moon-net, mmmonVHF and on HB9Q
logger

Hermann was told that there is good WIFI at his QTH, so communication should
be no problem.

Stay tuned for more information!

Good luck to all working this NEW-ONE!

Dear Gulio,

 

Unfortunately I have to cancel my participation in the EME-conference due to QRL. My school is being doubled in size and as was to be expected, the building process is taking more time than expected?

I am very sorry, but that?s life, work comes before fun ;)

I hope it is possible to cancel without any fee, but if required please let me know.

 

Best 73, Dick PA2DW

hi
i am sorry.i have tried it,but it was to quick.the beacon has worked for 
about 2 hours.then i had to leave my home.when i came back tracking of 
azimut had stopped and the motor was  very hot and dead.it looks like a 
failure in the new homemade tracking software.before the next start of 
the beacon i need more time for testing.

Message-ID: <7C24F2F5B7EF4C3CBA1B13F0F362B975@PeterKBlairPC5>

I finally got my 3cm system working on receive, details below, and copied the following on CW OZ1LPR, SP6JLW, LA8LF, UA4HTS, HB9SV, OH2DG, PA0BAT, DB6NT, YO2BCT, OK1KIR, G4NNS. Dont ask for skeds, the Tx side is a long, long way off. Where the dish is currently located there is only about a 5 hour window
2.4m offset dish, 0.74f/D, on a polar mount so very easy to track, not yet automated but just needs a prod of the HA motor every 2 minutes or so. HB converter with ex- LNB preamp, ~1dB NF. Feed design from W1GHZ HDLANT programme, linear. 5dB Ground / CS feed alone, 4.3dB in the dish. sun noise only 9dB SF84  and moon noise only 0.6dB. Dish beamwidth measures the theoretical value but I believe I have not yet found the focus. ( This dish had no back frame and no feed arm so we started from scratch) 
So at least 3dB to find, more sun noise tests tomorrow but good to hear / see signals on 3cm.

Hi All
Dubus CW 3cm was over.
Despite of busy Murphy, we worked cross frequency operation.
JA8ERE got high wind both days, hard to track the moon.
JA1WQF lost his SSPA a week before and replaced to TWT-A.
JF3HUC was late to set up and he operated Sunday only.
JA4BLC suffered unstable LO synthesizer before a week.
JA6CZD lost the converter using for the moon-noise meter during the weekend.

Finally we made 43 QSOs.
JA8ERE (linear-H pol) worked  
JA4BLC,JA6CZD,IK2RTI,OZ1LPR,HB9SV,ES5PC,OK1CA,OK1KIR,JA1WQF.

Hello EME friends,

 

I had a very nice time on 3cm off the moon this weekend.

Made 25 QSOs, 13 initials and 6 new DXCCs

 

Very nice activity and very nice CW signals. Heard SP6JLW 57 in SSB.

Strongest signals over the weekend from SP6JLW, LA8LF, YO2BCT, 

UA4HTS, OZ1LPR, W7CJO and DB6NT

 

Nice X-band activity on 10450Mhz from JA. I heard all 5 JA stations but
could

only work 3 of them.

Yoshiro, JA4BLC many thanks for the JA operating plan.

 

The weather was very nice, although the was some wind which made it
difficult to

keep my dish to the moon. Very often i had to track by hand using moonnoise.

During the weekend i measured close to 17dB Sunnoise and 2.4dB Moonnoise

 

Wkd Saturday:

OK1KIR, VK3NX #20, SP6JLW,ES5PC, JA4BLC, JA6CZD #21, LA8LF #22, YO2BCT #23,

OK1CA, HB9SV #24, PA?BAT, HB9Q #25, OH2AXH, IK2RTI #26, UA4HTS, OZ1LPR,

OH2DG, G4NNS, DF1SR #27, VE4MA #28, W7CJO #29, IW2FZR #30 and F1PYR

Heard were: UA4AAV and JA8ERE

 

Wkd Sunday: was only QRV for a few hours because of Mothers Day

DB6NT #31 and JA1WQF #32 

Heard were: JF3HUC

 

Rig: 3.7m solid Andrew dish f/d 0.34 

        Pwr 65W @ feed and Preamp 0.65dB @ feed

        Pol. Vertical

 

 

73s de Jac, PA3DZL

 

QRV EME on 50, 1296, 2320, 3400, 5760 and 10368 Mhz

A Happy Birthday to Peter, SM2CEW!! 

I wonder if there is any special cereblation for the 60th 
anniversary year in the western world, but in Japan there is. 

It is a year of monkey, which comes in every 12 years. 

Certainly, Peter seems to be fond of climbing up the 
tower, and I am also happy to be born in the same year 
1956, and will be an old boy by the end of this year, too!!

Hi all

Hermann arrived in D4 this early morning 3 o'clock at his QTH (HK84) in D4.
The equipment arrived too and does look undamaged. He now is working on
building-up the station. He told me that he will not be able to be QRV this
moon-path. sorry. But so far all looks good for tomorrow. He plans to be QRV
12. May from about 13z (mr) until his moonset at about 00z . He will be
txing on 5760.100 and he rx on his own echo. He will be using JT65c. If
needed he would QSY to JT4F. He has no Doppler-Control. 

His equipment will be 1m mash (very narrow) dish and 55W at cp feed. He has
internet, so he should be on HB9Q logger, assuming it really works all the
time.

Good luck to all. I hope we all will have a lot of fun with Africa on 6cm!

  Hello all my friends.  Well it turned out that there was still a bug in
the latest release of the W2DRZ tracker software, so there is now a
replacement on the web site.



  Please visit: http://www.w2drz.ramcoinc.com for details.  The major fix
was to properly handle negative antenna elevations (again).



  Also, please note that I have a new email address, and a new web site
address as follows:



  Email: k2txb at comcast.net

  Web:  http://www.k2txb.net/HamRadio/



  Very 73, Russ K2TXB



   Hello all.  This is to inform you that new versions of the W2DRZ
controller tracking and controller firmware are available on the web page
at: http://www.w2drz.ramcoinc.com



  Look at the download page of the web site for links to get the update as
an install program or as a zip file.  Read the What's New page for details
on latest changes.  This is primarily of interest to those using US Digital
Absolute encoders, but there are fixes and improvements for other functions
as well.  Also the included Call3.txt file is the very latest from mmm, and
then updated with changes from my personal database.

Hi Mike.

Thanks for the information. I have been looking at it for some time. I also
think it looks very interesting as it seems to be very versatile. All from
a rudimentary monitor Rx via a HAM multi-band TRX to a 4-port Vector NWA or
Spectrum Analyzer up 3.8 GHz. All depending on the SDR SW used.

I will follow it closely.

Hermann  did work 9 stations on 13cm until now. now he is QRX due to too
high elevation, max he can do is 70dgr. he needs to wait until moon is back
below 70dgr again. That will happen at 21.15z May 13th. He will be on
HB9Q-logger. For US guys please let him know you hear him and call him, than
he will RX on 2304. He is using 2320.100 1st JT65c listening on his echo. so
make sure to put your echo on his!

Thanks guys!!

Just back from touring the beautiful Scottish Northern Highlands.

Climbing The Storr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Storr in 
torrential rain and gale force winds sure made me feel grown up. Did 
not unpack my FT-817 at the top to hand out a Summit On The 
Air  (GM/SI-028) due to the weather. Otherwise that would have been a 
nice place to operate from. Instead, I tried to hang on the rock to 
prevent me from being blown into the water called the Atlantic ocean  :-)

However, the Isle of Skye weather changes rapidly and the day after 
we had beautiful sunshine and summer temperatures. Good time to visit 
the Talisker whiskey distillery 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talisker_distillery to get some EEL 
(EME Enhancer Liquid).

And yes, bagpipes at the Edinburgh castle were full decode without 
Deep Search switched on.

It was a pleasure to work HB9Q, UA3PTW and IK3COJ on 2320MHz yesterday. I am now at EME #20.  Unfortunately I did not see any sign of a trace from Hermann on my 2.3m dish (0.25d nfLNA). While setting up I heard (decoded) PY2BS, OK1DFC, ES5PC and PA3DZL. I think most of these stations would have been workable on CW, although I have a marginal preference for digital because of my poor CW.
On 5.7GHz I am now suffering from not preparing the dish mount base  levelling properly. The pallet mount is now beginning to 'list' a bit and when I set up east there is a significant elevation error  to the west. I can get away with this on 23 and 13cm, but on 6cm it makes a significant difference. I can see about 0.4dB moon noise and 9.5dB sun noise (currently) on 6cm, so the system is working (2.3m dish).

Hi all

 

Hermann is running a little late with 23cm set-up. He expects to start
activity shortly after the moon comes across the hill, probably around
16.30z on 14. May.  He can operate up to 70 dgr of elevation. Then he is QRX
until moon is below 70 dgr again. He will be on HB9Q-logger. He is using
1296.100 1st JT65c listening on his echo. so make sure to put your echo on
his!

His QTH is HK85FA (not HK84!).

He still has strong wind, not easy to stay on moon.

 

Good luck all!

Vy 73, Dan HB9Q

Message-ID: <CAM0g6NdvoZTHzL4pGxm2XVWP5qhxxUEq-y-mHjdX_L2=r0r4Gw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All.

Once again I turn to the wealth of knowledge of the reflector.

What velocity factor should on use for a open ladder feed line? In my case
283 ohm on 432 MHz for getting two 200 ohm antennas connected to each other
and have 200 ohm at the feed point in the center between them.

My ladder consist of enameled copper wire, 2.5 mm diameter with plastic
tube supports at say every 80 to 100 mm.

Should one use 0.95, 0.97 or 1 as the velocity factor when calculating the
proper wl/4? I doubt is is 1, as there are some dielectric involved.

Would it be the enamel or the plastic tube supports the contribute most to
the velocity reduction?

What is your experience? Any rule of thumb that is good to use? It might
not be that critical as the band width of such a transformer will be quite
large.

Hi Ingolf

You could attach a length of open wire feeder a few wavelenths long to a
VNA or scalar analyser and look for the frequencies where it generates a
short or open circuit perhaps.  This would then give you the electrical
length and from that the velocity factor that it applicable for your
construction.

Hi Ingolf,
my first 432 array in 1977 was built with open wire lines. I never used
any coax within an array.
After some experimentation I ended up with a VF 0,985 which means 1710
mm for 5/2 WL for vertical & horiz spacing of 4 LY in my case.
I use 3mm CuL spaced 13mm c/c. Spacers are 10mm round PTFE installed at
the (possible) voltage nodes.
Forget about plastics other than PTFE. I had acrylic glas melting at the
2 kW leavel. Which, of course, is not as important for TX as for a low Tsys
for RX.
Charlies suggestion is a good one for finding your individual VF.

73, Jan DL9KR.

Hi all

 

Activity summary for 12./13./14. May

Hermann  did work 3 stations on 6cm. He RXed several more but QSOs were not
completed. On 13cm he worked 9 stations and RXed a few more. On 23cm he has
worked only 7 stations. It looks like he has a problem on 23cm, he is
missing 3-5dBs (RX and TX) compared to the tests from home. He will try to
find and fix the problem today before his coming moon-window.

He has at least 20dgr elevation at moonrise and a water-tank in the way
shortly after moonrise. He can't elevate the antenna more than 70dgr. So he
is QRX when moon goes higher and comes back when it is again 70 and less.

He has internet, which most of the time works. but some hours he had none.
If he can he is on the HB9Q loggers. 

His QTH is HK85FA (not HK84!). He has strong winds most of the time, makes
it difficult to "stay on the moon".

His QRGs are 1296.100 JT65c 1st, 2320.100 JT65c 1st (with RX 2304.100 on
request) and 5760.100 JT4F 1st. 

On 23 and 13cm he RX on his echo, so please make sure you call him +- his
echo. 

On 6cm during his next activity (18. May) he will TX 100 and RX 100 with no
Doppler-control. The callers are asked to do  Doppler-control if they can.

 

The coming activity days plans are as follows:

15. May 1296.100 1st JT65c

16. May 1296.100 1st JT65c (this is new)

17. May 2320.100 1st JT65c (this is new)

18. May 5760.100 1st JT4F (this is new)

19. to 23. May will be decided later and communicated on moon-net and
mmmonvhf.

 

Good luck all!

Any other EME ops going to the Friday evening VHF/UHF weak signal dinner in Miamisburg, Dayton?
I'll be there with WA5VJB.
I'll spend some of my time on fleamarket pitch 2766/9 with Kent and co.
and I will have some VLNA preamps for sale if anyone needs one or just wants to talk about using them.
Looking forward to next weekend!

Thanks to all who answered my call for advice.

The conclusion seems to be that the Vf for a open ladder transmission line,
like mine, would be in the order of 0.98 to 0.985. Some variations
depending on the actual design. For my dimensions is is most likely very
close to 0.985.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I will now proceed with the array of four
home designed 9 el yagis in an very compact constellation. It is mainly
intended for tropo and aurora work and maybe some MS trials using my newly
built and commissioned BLF184XR 70 cm power amplifier.

So far (18.5.2016) Hermann worked 12 stations on 23cm, 11 stations on 13cm
and 3 stations on 6cm.

Unfortunately he had RX and TX problems on 23cm (3-5dB less RX and TX signal
compared to the tests from home prior to DXpedition). He lost the SMA relay
(he now uses the one he also uses on 13cm). Fortunately he is using a
circulator on 23cm, so he did not burn the PA! On 16. May he RXed several
stations but could not work them. He hopes the faulty SMA relay was the
cause of the RX/TX problem. He is looking forward to try again 23cm 19./20.
May, hopefully with better results.

On 13cm the station seems to work well. He RXed several stations which he
could not yet work.

He will be QRV tonight (18. May) on 6cm. This time (on request of several
6cm stations) he will TX and RX on 100. So you need to do your and his
Doppler-correction if you can.

Reminder: He has at least 20dgr elevation at moonrise and a water-tank in
the way shortly after moonrise. He can't elevate the antenna more than
70dgr. So he is QRX when moon goes higher and comes back when it is again 70
and less.

He has internet, which most of the time works. but some hours he had none.
If he can he is on the HB9Q loggers. 

Last night he experienced another challenge. the electrical power went out.
he learned that after sunset the power goes out often and nobody knows if
and when it comes back. After sunrise it is always back. The reason for this
is, that a lot of the electricity is produced with sunlight. The moon is
rising later every day which really makes it very difficult for Hermann.
Sorry about that! Please try to work him as early as possible as he may run
out of power again. For the US-stations it is really difficult. Hermann will
do what is in his power, but he can't do magic, sorry.

The coming days activity plans are as follows:

18. May 5760.100 1st JT4F RX and TX on 100, you do full Doppler-correction

19. May 1296.100 1st JT65c he TX 100 and RX on his echo

20. May 1296.100 1st JT65c he TX 100 and RX on his echo 

21. May 2320.100 1st JT65c he TX 100 and RX on his echo

22. May 5760.100 1st JT4F RX and TX on 100, you do full Doppler-correction

 

Good luck to all!

Hi All
We Japanese are testing circular vs linear polarization on 3 cm.
JA6CZD (2.4m Offset dish) measured the sun/moon noise on both polarization;
MAY 17 Circular SUN 14.6dB, MOON 1.6dB
MAY 18 Linear H SUN 16dB, MOON 1.8dB

JA1WQF(2.4m Cassegrain) and JA4BLC (3m Cassegrain) feel same tendency  
(linear is better) as JA6CZD.
All three are using Septum made by PE1RKI.
We wish to know comparison data circular vs linear. If you have any

Hello Yoshiro,

I have both linear and circular feeds. I recall that I did not see a big difference but the linear was slightly better.  My numbers for my linear feed 2.4 m dish are identical to JA6CZD. There is an additional WG switch and waveguide used in the circular setup here, so the lower performance seemed reasonable.

Hi Yoshiro

I also see more moon and sun noise with linear feed.  I have two identical
feeds one with septum for CP and one without for linear, otherwise the
geometry is identical. The CP feed uses SMA launch whereas the linear is
WG.

I attributed the differences I saw, like Barry, to increased losses. On CP
there is  the loss of two SMA (one on the feed and one on the transition
to WG to interface with the preamp.

Hello Yoshiro

I feel that the additional loss associated with circular polarisation, unless you use waveguide launch for receive, makes circular polarisation not worth the effort for 10GHz and above.  I fear that the additional complexity of circular polarisation on the higher bands might put some people off from joining us.

I will be ready to test my 10450MHz RX / 10368MHz TX system soon !

Youshiro it is not reason of polarization. It is reason that one of the feed
has slightly low attenuation due to SWR and matching. Sun noise is not 
polarized lignal !

Hello All,

After several years, i'm back on 70cms EME. Tks to all who helped and 
gave me energy and support. They will recognize themselves here. Tks guys!!

The array (4x21) is low on the ground compared to before (about 3m 
instead of the 7m of the 8 yagis before).

I have some tvi troubles around now...

The digital tv qrg is 482Mhz here...

Neighbour's antennas are some 30m from array. I need a tv filter to be 
connected to the tv system.

I have tried several solutions from notch to highpass+notch, but i get 
too much attenuation on 482... and when ok on 482, not enough 
attenuation on 432.

If you have any simple effective design with standard components, i am 
taker! Or maybe some effective low cost commercial solution.

Reply offlist so not taking much bandwith pse.


Waiting to work you off the moon!

Hi All
Thanks fer the suggestions to my question on the net or personal mails,  
VE4MA, G3WDG,KL6M,G4NNS,OK1DFC,OZ1LPR,F2CT, WA3LBI and LX1DB.

They say between linear and circular,
* nature noise source has no polarity and no difference on noise  
measurements,
* additional complex mechanism of CP feed may cause some losses,
* squeeze type section will be less lossy than septum,
* septum feed loss can be measured by T-R isolation covering the horn  
mouse with a metal sheet. No loss feed will show very small isolation.

Above are my understandings. If misunderstood, let me see.
Thanks again. I wish to work you on 3cm 10368/10450 with CP.

Hi Yoshiro & all,
my point is, could be 3cm CP done with septum feed
and minimal RX losses in case that you could use
mechanical insertion of LNA's port inside septum
during RX period like it's done by RW3BP
for 23cm EME (at figure 5.11)?
->

capability-part-5

Probably it's crazy idea due to mechanical
problems but.. ?

Saw another pwr handling spec of 3KW at 500MHz but that's not on this data sheet.  Asking $125.

11. Stanford Solar Center "Super SID" VLF Rcvr (Solar Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance Monitor for space weather monitoring) - SOLD.  

All prices are OBO + packing materials (unless I hv on hand), shipping & insurance.  Prefer local pickup in Chino Valley, AZ.  Pictures of every item are available on request.  PayPal accepted.

Pse don't ask how much it will cost to ship antennas or tower.  They all are shipable but I will hv to disassemble, mark, find the right box, pack & weigh.  Will ship FedEx Gnd.  Price to ship a larger box is determined more by volume than weight.  I shipped another one of the GlenMartin 9 ft towers a few yrs ago so know it can be done.  Also hc successfully shipped six 432 yagis (25 elements each). If you can't pick up at my QTH but are interested, email me.

Tnx & 73,

Hi Phil, 
What solution did you find to the TVI? 
I am interested to know it.

A simple cavity filter of a quater-wl might be the best 
solution for the selectivity and low loss, but it is bulky.

Two stage of a helical cavity filter, a finger-tip size, may 
reduce 20dB of 432MHz.  Insertion loss would be 4-5dB. 

A coax stub notch may be the best for the second/third, or 
more, of the harmonics,  but a notch has a wide slope around 
the notch frequency, so it is not a propper choice for the 
filter for a near-by frequency.

Message-ID: <J42.2beV.371aMunzfsG.1NI0yW@seznam.cz>

Hi EME Gang, this year in summer is again held MW and EME seminar i Poland. 
I will try to activate and test my portable unit for 3,4 - 5,6 and 10 GHz.
More details http://www.ok1dfc.com/peditions/sp_2016_MW/sp_2016_mw.htm
I know, conditions in that time are not so good, but I need to make a test 
outside of my home QTH. Looking forward to work many of you.
Best regards

Does anyone have any experience with RF interference, or otherwise,  
emanating from the so-called smart meter type CERM1 manufactured  by  
ENEL. The product has significant market penetration in Italy and as  
of 2015 there are plans to deploy some  13 million of these devices in  
Spain. I am more than a little concerned.


The modulation scheme used in these meters is BPSK at 4800 bps.

Does anyone know what frequency they operate on?

Message-ID: <20160527125334.Horde.ytVVJvYFdVv2h9FDQV60_2m@webmail.ewe.net>


A 144 MHz power amplifier using an MRF6VP11KH is under construction.  
The rated supply voltage for this device is 50V. Unfortunately, I have  
  available only power supplies with a fixed output of 54.5 Volt.

Can anyone advise on whether or not it is safe to operate the device  
at this voltage? If yes, do special precautions have to be taken?

Grateful your feedback

Hi Jo,
very bad experience, the power lines are radiating strong RF field
starting from low frequencies and covering the whole HF spectrum inside 
the house.
I discovered with my radio controlled clock unable to synchronize when i 
moved to current place.
I partly solved the problem by inserting an RF filter at the output of 
the meter.
What is, somehow, encouraging is that by moving the HF antenna outside 
at few meter from home the natural band noise overcomes the problem.
Fortunately i never experienced any effect on VHF or UHF frequencies.

Hallo

BPSE DONT, use Voltage higher than 50 VDC - you will destroy the device.

ADD instead a series of HI- current diodes, until the voltage is less than 50,0 V at the ated current.
