[Moon] [Moon-Net] PA3DZL activity report 13cm DUBUS/REF CW EME Contest

[Paul]

Hello Jac,

 

Congratulations to very good results in the contest. Sorry to mist you.
Unfortunately due to the injury of my left shoulder I was unable to change
feed and system for 13 cm.

I might be QRV next week on 1296.

Hello EME friends,

 

Last weekend i was QRV during the contest.

Activity was not as good as last year.

 

A number of countries do not have an allocation for 13cm anymore, perhaps
that may be one of the reasons?

Despite that it was nice to be active in CW again and had great fun.

 

Stongest signal on the band was from: HB9Q.

Many stations had big signals also, very easy copy!!

 

Made 22 QSOs and 3 initials during the contest:

UA3PTW, OK1CA, OK1KIR, OH2DG, OH1LRY, OK1KKD, G4CCH, DF3RU, HB9Q, SP7DCS,
DB6NT, 

ES5PC, SP3XBO, DG5CST #134, DL4DTU #135, WA9FWD X-band, W5LUA X-band,
PAØPLY, 

JJ1NNJ #136 X-band, KL6M during my moonrise also X-band, OK2ULQ and IZ2DJP

 

Saturday I heard JA6AHB but unfortunately Thosio his LNA went QRT on Sunday.

 

Outside the contest I wkd 4X1AJ in JT65C for a new DXCC #52 and Initial,
signals were marginal but we made it.

 

A nice surprise was the beacon of Boris, VE3IKU on 2304.020Mhz, great
signals peaking 569 with me.

Big congrats to Boris for building a very nice high power EME station.

 

My 13cm feed is still in the dish so anybody who wants to try with me please
email me direct.

 

TX: 2320Mhz only

RX: 2301, 2304, 2320 and 2400Mhz

Rig: 3.7m Solid Andrew dish, VE4MA feed, 0.5dB NF and >300W @ feed
