[Moon-net] 6m DXCC #109 :-)

[Lance Collister]

Hello!

What a day!  The ice and snow melted off my array just in time for my 
moonrise, and I was lucky enough to have a ground gain lobe at this 
azimuth as the moon was a much lower declination (-24 degrees) than I 
usually am active.  Normally, my moonrise is up over the mountains but 
when the moon is this far south, it rises out over the 20 mile long 
Missoula valley, which is 500' below me.  It was Peter's third ground 
gain lobe as the moon rose into my first ground gain lobe at3 degrees 
:-) I was able to work EA8/G8BCG for my 6m country #109, and DXCC #57 
via 6m EME.   and VY 73, Lance
