 Does anybody know the exact QRG of these radar signals? Can they be heard
via the moon like the signals of the French GRAVES radar on 143,05 MHz?

Helli Stephen and Peter, 

Thank you for your kind explanations on Pave Paws, and AEGIS Ashore.  Now I
learnt there are two different radars. 

Further detail info's and the actual situations around, would be welcome.
TNX in advance!!

to The repeater coordinator (me at the time) and expressed interest in
operating to avoid issues w/amateurs.  The station can change frequency on a
pulse by pulse basis.  After 9/11 that all changed for no apparent reason
other than they could do it.  There is one station at Beale AFB (near
Sacramento Ca.) and one in Maine.  The prototype was built at Elgin AFB in
Florida and looks towards the south.

Message-ID: <78A104CFD8C74BFF92F639B6153DF4AA@PeterKBlairPC5>

Al, K2UYH, and Matej, OK1TEH, will be working on the 432 and above EME Newsletter in the coming week. Send all your news, together with any technical items, to them at alkatz at tcnj.edu  Previous NL can be found at http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/em70cm.html

PLUS The coming weekend is the 13cm Activity Weekend August 4/5th 
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.

I may be on 13cm on morning of 3rd. 6m 250W CW.

Hi all, I would like to help a HAM friend to modifiy his Amplifier
sold about 10years ago on fleamarkets


Does anyone still has a proper modification for this amplifier as the
original page is not available anymore, and many modifcations are not
available anymore or faulty



I want to obtain the following:

Need to operate the amplifier in linear mode class AB for SSB operation

Add PTT for bias (ptt to gnd)

Keep the original Transistors

No RX/TX switching circuit is needed

Looking forward

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the comments on the ON0EME moon beacon.

We have set up this moon beacon on March 2012 and the moon beacon has been on line ever since. 
At the moment we have some issues on the power amplifiers we are using but we probably have a solution soon, we will report on this issue soon.

ON0EME is not using any digital modes just because we designed the moon beacon to be received with minimal conditions. Even with single yagi antennas this beacon can be received off the moon on 1296.0000
We received reports from stations using very small antennas and sending us audio reports ! If ON0EME was used to be set up for digital modes,  we probably would go for 50 Watt and not 500 watt :-) This was not the design option. 

We want to encourage stations to go and look for the beacon and optimise noise figure and and antenna gain.
We like to receive audio files in analogue format, Audible  :-)

At that level I can't copy the CW though I may hear a character once in a while.

 Eddy,
ON0EME is a very valuable resource for the 23cm EME community.  You know this because even a small problem is immediately reported to you.  :)
Digital modes like JT65 are becoming more popular and are the primary way a small 1 x yagi station will operate EME.
The benefit of adding a JT65 signal to ON0EME would be to allow testing all the way to decodes.  Many new stations have setup problems after the preamp.
I know adding JT65 would add complexity because you'll need a SSB radio or direct generation of JT65 with frequency shifting - fancy stuff.
I'm happy with whatever you decide.  I wanted to explain how ON0EME could provide added benefits in a world moving quickly to digital modes.
BTW - Has anyone developed an moon tracking system for their dish using ON0EME as a beacon?   It would require a hunting algorithm.  Any cheap RTL-SDR could operate as a beacon receiver.

Subject: [Moon] Dish mesh
Message-ID: <1640141207.8950.1533340560669@wamui-boogie.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

Hi all,

I have an old 8' TVRO C-band dish I've been meaning to repurpose for EME use (at least listening for now), but unfortunately it was accidentally moved from its "safe" storage area and got stepped on in a few places by deer, thereby denting the aluminum mesh.  Maybe with some patience I can return it to "sorta close" but I'm concerned that wrinkles will throw off the pattern enough to be problematic.

I'm wondering if some of you DIY'ers out there might have an idea of a similar mesh that would be maybe a bit stiffer than window screen (in this case it just slides into channels in the aluminum extrusion), but yet maybe not as opaque/heavy as the original stuff.

I've been toying with the idea of instead simply replacing it with one of those cheapie dishes from Canada, or one of the old L-Band ones (assuming I can find one).  But would love to simply use what I've got if it's possible.

Thanks,

Patrick

It is not necessary to change the signal of ON0EME to digital mode. In 
JT65 you only need to tune to the beacon signal and you will get your 
signal report after one period.
Then it is easy to check for best signal when improving your rx 
components. I have done that often.

With this method you can receive ON0EME in CW AND JT65. Same method 
works works for tropo beacons as well.

Hi all,


After months off, I’m happy to see that my 3cm station still works.

No one available on the logger now to play with, I’m QRV for skeds on the upcoming days.

Didn’t test yet, but I suppose that the 6cm setup also still works.

Does anyone have a spreadsheet for plotting the profile of a parabolic dish? A set of x,y values is all I need versus f/D. I can do it myself but if something already exists it saves a little time.

Conrad, if you want to build a really accurate dish then dont forget to 
allow for the thickness of the covering in the Y dimension of Ingolf's SS. 
So if you use 1mm x 6mm mesh for example then the mesh thickness will be 2mm 
because the wires are  laid on each other. If you dont make this allowance 
you end up with a non-parabolic error which will affect the phase trajectory 
and hence the sidelobe level. If its just for 23 and 13cm then it doesnt 
really matter but above that it will be noticeable.

And one more thing.

Those calculations are always refereed to zero, the starting point located at focus. But depending on the mechanic solution used, that zero point is moved away from the actual focus point.

So, you need to remember to keep always the zero starting point at focus. If you move mechanical pieces away from focus, you need to keep the profile, or modify it.


For example, if your central support for the ribs is adding 20cm separation from one rib to his opposite, then you need to remove 10cm from profile calculation (zero to 10cm), and start the rib on 10cm point calculation.

You can´t just move the ribs away, that will change the focus point.


Am I correct?

Message-ID: <00cc01d42e7e$41fb6b20$c5f24160$@voo.be>

Dears,

 

 

 

To feed my BLF188XR 2m SSPA, I was using so far a couple of Powec Power-One
RM 1110 Rectifier units. This morning, for an unknown reason, one of the 2
failed. Since I don’t own the schematic (and even if I would have it), it
will be difficult to repair. I opened it and a PCB track is vaporized with
the surroundings being all black. I can jump the track and check the
components around (I’ll do it tomorrow) but the track didn’t vaporize by
action of God, there is a reason I ignore.

 

So, my question : could somebody indicate me a sourcing for a heavy duty
230V AC In – 50V/35A DC Out RF quiet ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

230V AC In – 50V/35A DC Out RF quiet ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

73,

Subject: [Moon] PI9CAM
Message-ID: <02a001d430b6$4560cd20$d0226760$@kpnmail.nl>

Hello all,

 

For those who are coming to EME2018 and still need a QSL of PI9CAM, I will
bring the log and a pile of cards. So I can write them out on the spot. 

Also for PA2DW if you still need one, but my card is a whole less fancier
than that glossy one of PI9CAM.

Just in case, I will bring some SM/PA2DW cards as well J

 

Coming Sunday we will activate PI9CAM again, from app 07:00 GMT till maximum
16:30 GMT. We will be on HB9Q in case you want to contact us.

As I will probably be the only operator, be prepared for some serious CW
brasspounding on 70/23 hihi!

 

 

Best to all,

 

Dick PA2DW

The latest 432&above NL reports the passing of Jano, OK3DQ. This is VERY 
SAD news!

Jano was a regular in the "old days" and provided many firsts with with 
the then OK-land. He was quite audible with 200w and 16x21el, listening 
with a BFT66 preamp.

His Dec '79 QSL states "first OK-DL via EME". Obviously he refers to 432 
MHz.

My sympathies to his family and friends.

RIP, dear Jano!

Jan DL9KR.

found at VHF.CZ and freely translated from Czech language:

The correct call of Jano was OM3DQ (ex. OK3CTP).

He was one of the first initiator of moonbounce in Slovak republic 
before separation of Czech and Slovakia.
He got his WAC for 432 MHz in 1980 already.

He passed away at 27.07.2018

RIP Jano!

SE/F9FT himself). The first 70cm EME QSO in OK was  done by OK1KIR with W6
LET at SRI dish in 1976, however at that time they used 7m Würzburg riese 
dish at Ondrejov radioastronomy  site and after this 1st QSO they stopped 
their EME activity for some time. Jano OK3CTP did the 2nd EME QSO in OK and 
he was the first regular EME station in former Czechoslovakia. During first 
year of his activity he worked 138 QSOs and he worked many  first QSOs from 
OK to abroad on 70cm including all continents. Jan was excellent technician 
and he was preparing to build up  some 7-8m dish even for 23cm EME. Then 
only after 2 years of EME activity he was totally ruined by Czechoslovak 
communist secret police [StB]  including some other well known OK VHF hams 
who envied his success... He lost his job, family, license, so he felt in 
big disillusion and he didn't want to get back to EME after the Velvet 
revolution in 1989. Shortly before his passing Jano was thinking about the 
possible return to 13cm EME. Jano was a good man, please remember to him..

Hi Zdenek,

maybe you know that my mother and big part of

my family come from Slovakia just some 40km far

from Jano's QTH, I spent lot of time of my childhood

there and I have been in close contact with the 


local ham guys and I heard many various stories..

I haven't met Jano personally but my father OK1VPZ

did it more times and I heard the whole story just 5min

after he left his house and I haven't any reason why

not to belive to my own father.. If you have any problem

you can ask him directly.




Related to what I wrote, Jano didn't want to roll out his story


on public while he was alive, but I found important to tell

the true after his passing, that's all. I don't want to name the

callsigns because It has no sense after the years but on the other

hand it's not ok to say that everything have always been ideal in

OK ham community, it would be hypocritical statement.





73, have a nice weekend


Matej, OK1TEH

Matej, you put to the public area information about "well known OK VHF Hams"
which were involved in devastating of Jano´s live etc., even you heard it 
from your father. So, now everybody on reflector can to think, that those OK
VHF ham can to be anybody from us, as me, Franta OK1CA, guys from OK1KIR 
etc., etc. So if you do not want to say who it was, than do not say 
something like you present in previous email. If you or your father has 
evidence about that, tell us calls, than situation will be clear and we will
know who is who!


Thank you!

Dear Zdenek, everybody has his own opinion,

you can agree, you can disagree but that's all

what you can do. Everybody in OK knows

how our "datached" judical system looks like

in case of "fight" with people from cummunist police


(for an example check out case of our prime minister)


and I don't want to be prosecuted for naming

the exact callsign, I'm not afraid but I don't want

to waste my money and time. Do you have a

problem with me? Fine so let's ask to DF6NA

to exclude me from the Moon list.

Dear Zdenek, everybody has his own opinion,

you can agree, you can disagree but that's all

what you can do. Everybody in OK knows

how our "datached" judical system looks like

in case of "fight" with people from cummunist police


(for an example check out case of our prime minister)


and I don't want to be prosecuted for naming

the exact callsign, I'm not afraid but I don't want

to waste my money and time. Do you have a

problem with me? Fine so let's ask to DF6NA

to exclude me from the Moon list.

Matej, you put to the public area information about "well known OK VHF Hams"
which were involved in devastating of Jano´s live etc., even you heard it 
from your father. So, now everybody on reflector can to think, that those OK
VHF ham can to be anybody from us, as me, Franta OK1CA, guys from OK1KIR 
etc., etc. So if you do not want to say who it was, than do not say 
something like you present in previous email. If you or your father has 
evidence about that, tell us calls, than situation will be clear and we will
know who is who!


Thank you!

Hi Zdenek,

maybe you know that my mother and big part of

my family come from Slovakia just some 40km far

from Jano's QTH, I spent lot of time of my childhood

there and I have been in close contact with the 


local ham guys and I heard many various stories..

I haven't met Jano personally but my father OK1VPZ

did it more times and I heard the whole story just 5min

after he left his house and I haven't any reason why

not to belive to my own father.. If you have any problem

you can ask him directly.




Related to what I wrote, Jano didn't want to roll out his story


on public while he was alive, but I found important to tell

the true after his passing, that's all. I don't want to name the

callsigns because It has no sense after the years but on the other

hand it's not ok to say that everything have always been ideal in

OK ham community, it would be hypocritical statement.





73, have a nice weekend


Matej, OK1TEH

who was my first OK EME QSO on 432MHz in May 1980 and a regular contact for 
some years after that.

Hi Vlada,

frankly I don't want to argue with you, I just wrote what

I heard from the most reliable person (after Jano)

which is my father for me. He visited Jano few years

ago when I was working on the article about EME

history. I heard that story little bit different than you

but never mind I don't want to continue in this topic

anymore.. I think that we can agree that such

a thing should be noted for the future as a strong

warning, that's 100% true, I wrote it just because

of it and as well as I wanted to explain what happened

to Jano, that he went QRT EME so early after his

truly amazingly successful start.

Matej,

must agree with Zdenek.

Why do you publicly disseminate personally modified info from second or even
third hand and accuse some OK hams to take part in that scaring case?

How old you were at 80-ties ? I was close to 40 and know a bit more. I 
talked with Jano face to face about loosing his licence. It is right, he was
initially in suspicition about some enviousness from others, but later on he
realized that OK hams have had nothing to do with the issue. It was a local 
politically initiated case from his neighbourhood. He was accused being not 
properly politically active to be allowed to held  ham-radio licence. It 
has, of course, some other bad  consequences related to that era ....... it 
should be rememberred as a strong warning from history we are obliged not to
allow to be repeated.

Vlada,

OK1DAK/OK1KIR

I will be on 3cm today. Sun-Moon offset yesterday was 2.5 deg. only but I
had excellent echoes with my 1.8m dish. Today offset is comfortably better
so I expect no relevant sun noise. Will call and listen around .120 in CW of

Message-ID: <1534068590.6350.69.camel@ping.net.au>

G'day,

As an admirer of EME for a very long time I have taken the first steps
to building up a 3cm band EME station.

Hardware acquired over the past couple of years include a 3.6m dish,
3cm PE1RKI septum, 0.6dB NF 21dB gain WR75 LNA, WR90 WG switch and SPID
BIG-RAS/HR antenna rotator. It is planned to have all microwave
equipment installed at the dish to minimise losses and improve system
performance.

There are still a few items required before finalising this project and
I'm now looking for a suitable 10GHz transverter, +30W solid state
amplifier, WR75/WR90 WG transition and sequencer. I'm happy to
entertain offers on second hand equipment.

I believe that the greatest challenge will be in sourcing a suitable
solid state amplifier. High prices categorically rule out new
commercial amplifiers. Hence, building a 3cm PA using surplus
transistors such as TIM0910, TIM1011 and various Qorvo types that
become available from time to time may be the best option. A long time
ago, I purchased a lot of Rogers RO5880 PCBs that could be used to
fabricate printed circuit boards for a 3cm amplifier.

I would be grateful for any information on 3cm band solid state
amplifier kits and designs based on commonly available surplus
transistors.

Hi LarsI admit, fully random does not need any information.During contests we do "random" Qso, do we?We know the contest period, the band (obviously between 000 and 300, and we know who usually pops up.Frankly, i prefer those QSOs which just happen outside contests.There is some valuable argument by "G D" whom I dont know. PURIST random is best!!73 DominiqueHB9BBD

On 29 July we had a big lightning  it came via the telline i think  and 
the 220 V  i saw flashes coming from the wall outlets we dont have any 
lines in the area so dont know how this happend but it did smel Ozon in 
the schack  the only lines are the 20Kv to transformer some 300m away

all my radioas are killed TS2000X it works on rx  but PTT and CAT are 
dead   Flex5000A could be only FW interface( if lucky.)    SDR IQ,the 
FT245RL  (hot)new ordered   f1EHN tracking, shortcircuit after 5V ic  , 
My Magnetometer, 2 Yaseu G-1000DXc   3 computers, 3 powersupplyes  3 
ethernet switches, and the ADSL modem sounded like it was full of stones 
when shaking it :-)

and the charge station for my robomower, the wire around my garden acts 
like abig loop so it killed that card. in the mean time thats fixed with 
a new card.

I dont know the status of the US digitals in the dish as the interface 
are dead, not sure about the LNA s in dish.

I just managed to get my main copmputer working buy buying a new 
motherboard.

There are probably more stuff damaged, i will probably see more when 
starting to repair, right now i dont know where to start.

well its still summer and my interest are almost Zero so  we see what 
happens!!!!

That was a pure mistake Graham i was to fast clicking on answer button 
instead of answer to list  pardon!


I did not attack  i just sad in my perspective i dont belive its 
possible to do a QSO with that setup. you can put in the values in VK3UM 
calc and see what comes out.

I know that Jac hear DL9KR for sure 16 yagis and plenty of power.KW++++  
but with 55 w and 10 elem i really dont belive that KR could copy that 
weak signal, but i know the QSO technik. I have been listning many times.

If they are happy fine, Not that kind of QSOs i do.

Message-ID: <2SK.2KW0.2aP9qXwbSBl.1RS8kX@seznam.cz>


Today I put my new 24 GHz TRV in the focus point of 180cm PF dish with new 
tracking system. Same unit will be use in 4U1ITU. I was able after many 
moves up down etc. find this result.

Moon noise 1,8dB

Ground noise 2,8dB

Sun I will measure tomorrow, because setup is too close of house my neighbor
and before I finish all things, Sun was behind. But on beginning when I 
start play with all optimize, I had 8dB Sun. That time ground noise was only
1dB.

So looks RX works. Both SSPAs TGA4915CP are giving 8W RF each in lab. Now I 
need to combine them. Mirek OK2AQ is kindly working on matching my magic T, 
because as original product MT doesn’t works perfect. In worse case I will 
have 8W RF in 4U1ITU, but I am sure Mirek find way how to win https://email.

Dear Users,

It is with pleasure to communicate some important changes to the FREE TALK MOON REFLECTOR.

In the past Rainer DF6NA has done the complete work and financing to keep the reflector alive. 
While Rainer still in charge for maintenance of the reflector, the financing of the IT server will be taken care off by ON7UN and HB9BBD.
One of the reasons is that the bill of the IT company in Germany ( IP-Projects ) will be sent to Switzerland in the Future, so we avoid the 19% German VAT charge Rainer was paying .

The bill for 01/09/2018 to 31/08/2019 was 588 Euro but will be reduced due to the HB9 invoicing to 494,21 Euro. This bill has been paid.

For obvious reasons we are looking for sponsoring by the users of this reflector. In the past Rainer was helped by sponsors in 2014 and 2017. 
You can see the list here :  http://www.moonbounce.info/mailman/listinfo/moon <http://www.moonbounce.info/mailman/listinfo/moon>

If you want to contribute to the financing of this FREE TALK MOON REFLECTOR you are invited to send your contribution via Paypal to ejespers at telenet.be <mailto:ejespers at telenet.be> 
A list of contributors will be published on the reflector each year.

If the funds sponsored exceed the aprox 500 Euro we need, the amount will be forwarded to coming cost of the following year(s) and this will be communicated . 

Thank you for your much appreciated support!

Message-ID: <DA808EB1CDE44E4F8E4C2648BCEABF14@BrianPC>

Hello Folks

A team including G8GTZ, G8GKQ, G4NNS and G4LDR expect to activate the 32m antenna GHY6 at Goonhilly Down on the Lizard Peninsular Cornwall IO70jb UK on 1st and 2nd September as GB6GHY. We will be on the HB9Q logger whilst operational which will be between about 08:00z and 12:00z earlier if possible. We will have 3.4GHz and 5.7GHz with immediate band change. We will however concentrate on 3.4GHz on the 1st and 5.7GHz on the 2nd.

73 from the team.

Message-ID: <05c801d43d87$a595e350$f0c1a9f0$@kpnmail.nl>

Hi all,

 

I am still working on a way to integrate my 3cm station into my 23cm system.
First attempts have shown that this is not that easy, because tracking the
2.4 m dish that I have on 3cm is hard given the narrow beam-width. 

I am therefore thinking to move the 3cm feedhorn closer to the dish, so that
I under-illuminate the dish and optimize the beam-width untill I can handle
the tracking. Wonder if anyone has done this and can tell me the pros/cons?

Hello Dick

Al Ward W5LUA suggested I illuminate part of my 4.9 meter dish as an offset dish. This will reduce the gain and allow me to select a part of the dish that is more accurate on 10 Ghz.

I think that is a brilliant idea.

Dick

you should  make a different feedhorn that dont illuminate the complete 
dish,

you still have to bee in focus.

Message-ID: <061601d43e51$84e15520$8ea3ff60$@kpnmail.nl>

Hi friends

 

I got an overwhelming amount of good advices!

The best solution, which  was suggested by quite a few, is to illuminate the
dish with a high gain hornfeed. It has a narrow beam of itself so it will
just illuminate a part of the dish.

I will mount it in the dish focal point but with an offset, so that the 23cm
and 3cm system can stay mounted..

I happen to have such feedhorn available, so will try this out very soon!

 

Thanks again to all who reflected!

Message-ID: <4445C26DB7EA474EB92FEEE0DA522BD4@muijlwijkPC>

To all who attended EME 2018.

The conference is history now.
Many thanks to all participants!

I hope you all had a safe and smooth journey home.

Some final remarks:
Pictures of the conference are appearing on several websites. That’s nice!
The EME 2018 website will be online for a while but not very long.
So we will try to gather as much pictures and videos as possible and put them on the CAMRAS website in future.
It will take a while but I will announce it here when it’s ready.

You may have noticed our two video guys running 4 cameras during the presentations.
They were with us on Friday too during the visit to Westerbork and Dwingeloo.
They shot an awfull lot of video, so they will need some time to do the editing.
When it’s all ready we will put it as a free download on the CAMRAS website.

Some might have heard that a wallet was lost (maybe even stolen). The good news is the wallet was found by hotel personnel after the conference!
Some might have heard that luggage was missing at the end of the conference. It appeared that the video crew took it home by accident...
In the meantime it’s back at it’s rightfull owner. 
So two stories with a happy end!

Finally you know we went over budget a bit.
A spontaneous fundraising action was organised to cover the costs.
I really was overwhelmed by this action.
I often refer to the EME community as the EME family.
This action is the best proof of this being true!
What an extraordinary group of people this EME family is!
Many, many thanks!

Next week the project manager of the hotel will be back from holiday and she will do the final calculations.
But as it looks to me now there should be enough money to close the gap!!

My wife and I loved organising EME 2018 and we loved every minute of it.
It took some time and we had not too much sleep during the conference but it was worth it.

For me, showing you all the big dish in Dwingeloo was a great moment.
We run this old lady now for already more than 10 years and it almost becomes normal to us.
But I realise very well that we are incredibly lucky to have the possibillity to use an instrument like this.
It’s and honour and a privilege to us Dutch guys to have this dish at our disposal.

So now we are looking forward to Prague 2020 already!
I can’t wait to see you all again......

73!

Message-ID: <002e01d43f14$ea20a210$be61e630$@kpnmail.nl>

Hello all,

 

Together with my elmer PA3ACJ I made some further calculations on the 3cm
feedhorn I will use and concluded that it has an angle of operation of 15
degrees. 

Mounting the system with this feed in the focal point at app. 93 cm, or with
a slight offset as I intend to do, it will illuminate my 2.4 meter dish only
for 69cm and results in an angle of operation of app. 3 degrees. And less
gain of course, about 11 dB.

This is ok to start with and I think it will be possible to control the
tracking with my 'mr inaccurate' SpidRas.

 

I also found a waveguideswitch, tnx Peter OZ1LPR and Martin PA0MJK for your
help! I will not have it here by coming weekend, but soon will be able to TX
with about 12W at the feed.

 

Next project is to improve my SpidRas and then I can increase
illumination/gain J

news is the wallet was found by hotel personnel after the conference!
Some might have heard that luggage was missing at the end of the conference.
It appeared that the video crew took it home by accident...
In the meantime it’s back at it’s rightfull owner. 
So two stories with a happy end!

Finally you know we went over budget a bit.
A spontaneous fundraising action was organised to cover the costs.
I really was overwhelmed by this action.
I often refer to the EME community as the EME family.
This action is the best proof of this being true!
What an extraordinary group of people this EME family is!
Many, many thanks!

Next week the project manager of the hotel will be back from holiday and she
will do the final calculations.
But as it looks to me now there should be enough money to close the gap!!

My wife and I loved organising EME 2018 and we loved every minute of it.
It took some time and we had not too much sleep during the conference but it
was worth it.

For me, showing you all the big dish in Dwingeloo was a great moment.
We run this old lady now for already more than 10 years and it almost 
becomes normal to us.
But I realise very well that we are incredibly lucky to have the 
possibillity to use an instrument like this.
It’s and honour and a privilege to us Dutch guys to have this dish at our 
disposal.

So now we are looking forward to Prague 2020 already!
I can’t wait to see you all again......

73!

Hello,

I have been working last few weeks to repair a Ku-band VSAT terminal and see 
if it could be used as setup for 10 GHz EME.
At first the antenna system was not working and after repair of a stepper 
motor it now seems to work like I expect it should.

Is anyone using a similar setup and build an interface to let the VSAT 
terminal follow the moon and or the sun. I just do not like to reinvent the 
wheel if someone already has.
The VSAT system consists of a 1 meter dish and a stabilised antenna 
platform, steerable within 0.1 degrees. I can aim the antenna to any 
elevation and azimuth position but cannot steer it (yet) automatically to 
the moon. Perhaps I can use an interface to communicate the position azimuth 
and elevation of the moon and steer the antenna.
Just curious if someone has done similar modifications or using something 
else with a VSAT terminal.

Hi all,
just for an info, Vladimir OK1VPZ wrote an article about
his experience with construction of 70cm SSPA
from popular Telefunken SV5379 which was
used by many 70cm EME hams like Peter PA2V,
PA2CHR, PA3CMC, PY2BS, etc

Check out:

Maybe somebody will find it helpful..

Hi Matej ,


I am also using this Telefunken amplifier , output is abt 900w. We have 
worked on eme together with it

Hans

I recommend looking first at the 14GHz devices in the TX chain.  I had
some experience professionally with some of these a few years back.  I
looked then at whether the driver/PA devices would be useable at 10.4GHz.

Unfortunately most of the devices has little or no gain at 10.4GHz, and
being multistage MMICs there as no way to tune them down.

	To all who attended EME 2018.
	
	The conference is history now.
	Many thanks to all participants!
	
	I hope you all had a safe and smooth journey home.
	
	Some final remarks:
	Pictures of the conference are appearing on several websites. That’s nice!
	The EME 2018 website will be online for a while but not very long.
	So we will try to gather as much pictures and videos as possible and put them on the CAMRAS website in future.
	It will take a while but I will announce it here when it’s ready.
