Dear 432 EME JT65 Big Guns,

I have been a busy ham lately and just completed my latest, improved 432 eme
system. I am still very small. 100W, 2 x 12 wavelength yagis with manually
rotatable polarity.

A couple weekends ago I did receive echoes at -31.6 db Q=2. Today I
significantly improved my SWR and should be getting about 1db more out (full
100w). Unfortunately I finished just at moonset and was unable to repeat my
echo tests.

I realize that conditions are not the greatest, close to the sun, and
declination is terrible, but I would like to try some scheds tomorrow, 17
December. I completed with N9AB when I had just a single yagi so I think the
system should be capable of completing with other big guns.

Please propose sched if you think you can hear me. I must have at least 15
degrees elevation here in Maryland, FM19lg.

I promise to get on 432 CW when I get a few jt65 successes under my belt.

Thanks,

73,
Bob
