[Moon-net] FW: QRV 70cm EME during last leg of contest

[Cowles Andrus]

Hi 70 cm EME'er,
 
I am planning to be on the 70 cm band  with 8 X FO-33 and 1.5 KW and HEMT
Cavity preamp for the second leg of the EME contest this weekend.
I had several issues that cropped up very early on the first leg that keep
me from working a lot of you.
I had the flexible jumper on top of the tower at the array to fail during a
QSO. 
In the process of troubleshooting, I removed and replaced the preamp,
antenna switch and jumper.
By the time I had everything operational again, the first day was over!
 
I tried to operate without a preamp at the array, which did not prove
satisfactory.
Due to this, I did not CQ very much on the first evening.
 
Everything is operational again at this time!
I hope to work many of you this weekend.
 
Thanks and 73,
Cowles_K4EME
