CW: Although it is on the limit, we will work CW on all bands. However only
with big-guns and after the pile-up on JT/QRA is worked.
Equipment:
1.5m dish 1x2mm mesh, homemade automatic azimuth and elevation control
1296: 100W at feed, circular, preamp at horn
23xx: 90W at feed, circular, preamp at horn
3400: 80W at feed, circular, preamp at horn
5760: 80W at feed, circular, preamp at horn
10xxx: 50W at feed, v-pol, preamp at horn
We will be using WSJT-X 2.1.2. On 23, 13 and 9cm we use JT65C with Doppler
Control (Own Echo, in other words we listen on our own echo). On 6 and 3cm
we will be using QRA64D (if necessary JT4F) including Doppler Control
(Constant Frequency On Moon and if necessary Full Doppler to DX Grid).
Hopefully more people take advantage of automated Doppler control.
Especially on 6 and 3cm it is a MUST for successful QRP operations.
We will have internet access and during our activities we will be stand-by
on the HB9Q band loggers. We also will check our e-mails several times a
day.
How big needs your station to be to work us?
On 23cm 2m dish and 150W at the feed
On 13cm 2m dish and 100W at the feed
On 9cm 2m dish and 50W at the feed
