[Moon-net] 13cm ARRL by DL4MEA

[Koellner, Guenter]

Hello,

because I will be out for vacation in Italy (Marche) for the next two weeks and only return at the weekend of the contest, I would like to tell you my status:

- My driver broke, so I replaced it with a XRF21120. Power is present
- Finally during the tests a tantal capacitor in my transverter exploded, at the moment I don't know what else failed in consequence. I am not sure if I can repair it until the contest.

I recently heard a couple of stations on 23cm and 13cm, but am not ready to TX.

Somehow repairing and keeping the things alive is the actual thrill of EME, isn't it?

73, Günter
