Hi Serge,
Daniel has recently published a very fine sequencer.
It's not filling all your requirements but looks pretty good:

The weather has been very bad, some 100mm of rain since Thursday - and windy. SV5/HB9COG on 6cm did not happen because of a broken PSU, that gave good echoes the day before. Saturday we made it on 3cm. KB7Q in NE, with a very consistent signal was worked on 23cm. Sunday SV5/HB9COG was worked on 23cm despite problems with both power and drift, so was W1QA.
Three other initials were worked on 3cm DF2GB, G4RFR and G4YTL.

Hello Dan & Team, 

You & the Team did a very nice job activating Rhodos SV5 on so many different bands.
A big big CNGRTS!!! 

Many thanks for the nice QSOs on 23, 13, 9, 6 and 3cm. Very nice signals considering your 1.5m dish !! CNGRTS on the UFB engineering 
On all bands a new DXCC for me and 4 fists ever between PA-SV5.

Hi All

 

We finished our 432 MHz activity with only 2 initials. Conditions were very difficult, Europe to Europe was most of the time 90° off. So with our QRPP equipment of 1x11el and 60W we were very much limited. We are sorry for those trying to work us with no success.

 

Yesterday in the morning we packed all equipment. And in the afternoon we stated our sightseeing of Rhode Island. Now we enjoy a few days of relaxation and sightseeing before flying back home on 11. October.

 

Many thanks to all who have worked us and our apologizes to those trying to work us with no luck. A big THANK YOU to all our supporters, your contribution is very welcome!

 

We hope to work you all in 2022 from an other nice DXCC… Covid-19 permitting!

Hi All

We are back home! All equipment arrived well. It was very nice to finally be on DXpedition again, we enjoyed it very much!
Many thanks to all sponsors, we appreciate very much your support. 
We already got several QSLs. We hope to get our special color QSL printed by the end of November. If you like a QSL for your QSO, please send your QSL with SAE to: HB9Q, P.O.Box 39, CH-5737 Menziken
We will publish a summary of the results of the DXpedition, including pictures, on our web-page, www.hb9q.ch. Once it is ready we will let you know here. It probably will take until December. 
We hope to do our next DXpedition in spring 2022, Covid permitting. Stay tuned!

Vy 73, Dan and Team

we are grateful to you Erwin trying to accommodate everyone when possible. The European Union should have a system like the USA .When KB7Q goes from grid square to grid square he keeps the same call & only the grid square is different. I look at the European Union as a country with 27 states. The same as the USA with 50 states so that would be a solution for the future to work on. In the meantime have fun.

Subject: Re: [Moon-Net] SV9/DK5EW important update

Dear gentlemen, dear OM and YL,

my topic has unfortunately developped into an intense discussion which I did not want. However I want to give you my "non-technical point of view".

When you travel thousands of miles with all your equipment and find that your QSO partners can't decode you, you try to find a solution. My QSO partnerss always had problems to decode me or I did not decode. No matter if in JT65 or in Q65.

I tried to change the call sign from SV9/DK5EW in both modes to: 
SV9DK5EW - SVDK5EW which was not successful. Only with DK5EW the decodes were without problems in all modes. The only correct decode in Q65 was HB9Q.

I understand that the main problem is the different software status of the OMs. Neither Joe and the development team nor I can do anything about it. The SV5 activity had probably no problems that may be due to the fact that the GHz people keep their software up to date.

Joe, I really appreciate what the team is doing but you can say 100 times there are no problems with xxx thousand people. When you are on DXped and see the problems then you know what is reality and what is theory.

Generally in Q65 mode all the necessary settings should be preset and not have to set this and that.

If it helps I am happy to do trials with SV9/DK5EW for the development team as my time here on Creta allows.

With my best regards from Creta

 Serge,
such behaviour  using  only  DK5EW  instead  SV9/DK5EW  are invalid contacts. 

But I know many people just dont care about that. Also ARRL doesnt prove  ....

Europe has many different countries ,  if KB7Q  goes out somewhere from one US state to another then its still USA (not 
valid for Hawaii and Alaska DXCC wise, of course). 

Finally I am surprised (it seems) that  after 20 years developement  the  digi-programs   still cant handle  callsigns ...
gl and good health , vy 73 de DL5MAE Wolfgang

I look at the European Union as a country with 27 states. The same as the USA with 50 states so that would be a solution for the future to work on. In the meantime have fun.

Dear gentlemen, dear OM and YL,

my topic has unfortunately developped into an intense discussion which I did not want. However I want to give you my "non-technical point of view".

When you travel thousands of miles with all your equipment and find that your QSO partners can't decode you, you try to find a solution. My QSO partnerss always had problems to decode me or I did not decode. No matter if in JT65 or in Q65.

I tried to change the call sign from SV9/DK5EW in both modes to: 
SV9DK5EW - SVDK5EW which was not successful. Only with DK5EW the decodes were without problems in all modes. The only correct decode in Q65 was HB9Q.

I understand that the main problem is the different software status of the OMs. Neither Joe and the development team nor I can do anything about it. The SV5 activity had probably no problems that may be due to the fact that the GHz people keep their software up to date.

Joe, I really appreciate what the team is doing but you can say 100 times there are no problems with xxx thousand people. When you are on DXped and see the problems then you know what is reality and what is theory.

Generally in Q65 mode all the necessary settings should be preset and not have to set this and that.

If it helps I am happy to do trials with SV9/DK5EW for the development team as my time here on Creta allows.

With my best regards from Creta

Erwin SV9/DK5EW

Hi EME gang,

after Thursday's wind storm, which hit OK and broke some trees around in the
surroundings at 100km/h, my new offset dish survived without any problems. 
If I can get the new offset dish at least a little bit operational, I'll be 
full orbit from Saturday to Sunday for a QRV on the 13cm band. I can be on 3
-6-9cm in parallel, it takes about 15 minutes to change equipment in the 2.6
m offset dish. I wish everyone good QSOs, lot of fun and look forward to 
hearing from you.

As usual, I am collecting feedback on the activity and any special situations or QSOs for the 1st weekend of the ARRL EME Contest. I followed a lot of the comments on the HB9Q Logger and got one report so far on the 10GHz activity from W3SZ. Q65 appears to be used quite a bit. I would be pleased to hear more from others as I gather information for the QST on-line contest results which will be published in the spring. Pictures welcome also. Thanks, Rick K1DS

Subject: [Moon] G3LTF microwave contest results
Message-ID: <65C18ECA21DD4FF295BE2D930FC84A5A@PeterKBlairPC5>

For me this was the most dissapointing microwave contest yet, even including those with bad weather. Partly my fault as I didnt get on until 0100 Z at the start on 13cm and then miss-set the alarm so by the time I got on again at 05.00 any US stations had, very reasonably, gone to bed. However, the main reason is that, with the increased activity on 3cm, fitting 4 bands into 30 hours of moon time just does not work. The strategy for a good score has been to be to be active on as many bands as possible so that the multipliers add up (I always try to use all the 3 bands I have,13,9 and 6cm, 3cm is still WIP) but that doesnt work now that a lot of the activity seems to be on one band.
After F2TU’s terrible accident no-one wants to change feeds in the middle of the night anymore, however easy you make that. Multi-band feeds and transmitters at a prime focus is really hard except on pretty rugged dishes (and which bands would you choose and yes, I know a 4m offset would be the ideal answer) 

This isnt a gripe, just an observation and a suggestion. Splitting one of the traditional 50-1296MHz weekends is not at all popular (and it wont happen)  but why not take two adjacent weekends for the microwave section, 6 and 13cm one weekend for example and 3 /1.25 and 9cm the other?
We could have done that this year by using the two consecutive weekends in October 23/24 and 30/31, their characteristics, declination and loss and sun spacing are very similar.
Next year is a really difficult year for finding good contest weekends but we could use October 15/16 and 22/23. October 22/23 has declination 8 deg dropping to –1deg, but with 2 bands per weekend, not 4, at least there is a higher chance of making more contacts.
I know there was a lot of activity on 3cm but thats not the point, we really want to encourage activity on all the bands and people with just one or two bands want to know, ahead of time, not on Friday afternoon, when there will be activity. 
For the record I worked 7 !! on 13cm (normally 20-30) 9 on 6cm ( +1 heard) and 1 on 9cm (+1 heard) and with all the effort of changing 3 feeds and taking the gear up and down to the dish this is pretty close to a waste of time and effort, but of course, thanks to all for the QSOs.

hi

the 10ghz eme beacon will be switched down for two reasons.first,the 
backlash of the last year changed az drive is to high,so it must be 
changed again,second,the 40w transistor pa will,after repare by charlie, 
be reinstalled.i can not say how much time it will take because the 
situation with the az gear might be complicated ( high weight,spezial 
parts,bad weather) 24ghz beacon is no working normal.

Thanks Per!

The difference a single letter can make!  To a Scotsman, " No working"
means "NOT Working

Hello again Peter.. I agree with you that last weekend's contest is
pathetic.. But I was surprised how many were on 13cm even on the second
pass..
I did manage to work 10 stations if I recall, a few first ones also for
me.. I wanted to put the 9 cm feed on for the second pass here but the
weather was just awful, raining like crazy.. I didn't want to put the amp
up there in case the moisture snuck into it.. Still having the 13CM feed on
the second go around was good.. Still not that busy though..  Peter, here
is something for you to look at.. You might find it interesting, my first
attempt..  Skip
