[Moon] [Moon-Net] Microwave Activity Weekends 2017

[Daniel Gautschi, HB9Q]

Hi Peter

 

Many thanks for your initiative! I'm sure there will be nice activity as
last year! I will try to be on as many of them as possible. In March for the
13cm I will be definitely QRV.

For newcomers: The idea of activity weekends is to encourage activity on the
higher microwave bands outside contest weekends. There are no
restrictions... if you wish then use the logger, telephone, HF....and use
any mode. It is not  a contest. It enables everyone to make QSOs, test new
equipment, feeds, preamps etc. Hopefully some of the big guns get on and
provide signals for newcomers to look for.

 

We try to have these in the summer time ( N. hemisphere) when its easier to
throw stuff together for an initial try, the best weekends ( high dec/ low
loss) have already been selected for contests and there are other clashes as
well. Looking at the weekends between March and August inclusive, I suggest
the following 

 

March 4/5 13cm, May 6/7 3cm  June17/18 6cm, August 12/13 9cm  

 

Its really hard to find suitable dates this year so if others have better
suggestions then please make them. In past years these weekends have proved
useful but there is no pressure to participate, maybe on 3cm there is now
enough random activity to not need one?
