[Moon] VE4MA/ W7 DUBUS 2.3 GHz First Pass

GM Al, 

Sorry to hear of your problems. I hope you can get on tonite and will look for you. 

Weather here is the opposite...going to be 90F (33C) but it cools down after sunset so will be OK in the shack. Sure a lot more comfortable than at home !

Hi Barry, 

You can pass on if you want. I had a disaster yesterday. The mother board of my main computer died - moon tracking, CW, control, etc.. On top of that something went wrong with my TX. I have rebuilt computer using an older chassis. I have some of the functions back on and will work on the TX today. It is very cold here - Hi! It was snowing yesterday. With a little luck I might be on tonight.

I started operating with the moon only at 5 degrees, just over mountain and in between buildings...but signals were there ! However Murphy stopped in for a visit, something intermittent in my PA input SMA connector...only ~70 W out, but did work OK1KIR (559/0), ES5PC (559/0), called SP6OPN (569) but only QRZs, also heard VE6BGT (559), OK1CS (449) and N4PZ (339). I did not see any 2320 signals, but later put on a test signal to find frequency calibration out by 1 MHz ( oops !) 

I hope to fix the PA connector problem and be ready for the next pass by ~0200 and will be looking for 2320 signals especially
