[Moon] [Moon-Net] Dubus/REF CW contest result G3LTF

[Dale Parfitt]

I tried my best to  get the new dish finished up for  DUBUS but just too
much to do. I was able to listen Sunday morning and copy  great signals.
Still some fine tuning to do and get the TX hardline up to the feed.

C U  all on activity weekends and ARRL in the Fall.

On Friday evening I managed to blow up the PA PSU and so had to operate the
contest with the driver which meant 30W at the feed rather than 350W. (
think 3m dish with 120W)

I worked 31 with some interesting results. I got 4 replies to my CQs and I
worked 5 stations with 3.6-3.5m dishes. I got no response from calling 3m /
2.4m stations. 

Worked were UA3PTW, OK1KIR, OK1CA, OZ4MM, OK2DL, I1NDP, DL3EBJ, SM6FHZ,
SM2CEW, SP6JLW, DG5CST, OH2DG, ES5PC, DF3RU, G4CCH, OK1CS, WB2BYP, IK3MAC #
, K2UYH, WA6PY, SP2HMR, SP7DCS, VE6TA, KL6M, FR5DN, ON5GS, 9A5AA, LZ2US,
F6CGJ, SM5DGX, WA9FWD. 

Called but unfortunately could not get my callsign OH1LRY, OK1KKD, F5KUG,
UA4AAD, VA7MM. Thanks for trying.

Heard CT1BYM, UA9FAD, SM6PGP, IK3GHY, DJ3JJ, IK3COJ, OK1YK, ES3RF, G4RGK,
G4YTL, OK2ULQ, DF2GB, N4PZ, PA2DW, N5BF, SM4GGC, NQ7B, DL7UDA, AA4MD,
OK1DFC, IK5VLS, JA6AHB, F5IGK, UA3TCF, K8ZR and+ RA4HL.

I tried a few times the technique of sending callsign as GGGG 3333 LLLL TTTT
FFFF and on two occasions I think that worked and enabled the callsign to be
copied. 

Activity seemed pretty high especially in the Eu-NA window.  Thanks to all
for the QSOs and the fun.
