[Moon-net] Dubus CW night events 3rd window ?

[SV3AAF Petros]

Hello All,

>From my side I endorse Oene's proposal for an additional window also for the higher bands as long as it does not disperse activity, I think the planners of the event can make a judgement on this.

Hakan, very interesting check with the reflections on ISS; I would like to give it a try as well.

 I think the times for first month are printed but we shall see  what  Joe,Chris,Jimmy,Peter and also other interested thinks about it. It  is very difficult to set the right times.
  
 It is sure so that the times are set to EU times as it tends  to be more CW activity here but it is not sure it is the best solution. We hope  for some more inputs and thoughts around this.  I think it is very  important to keep 144mhz CW alive as it will give some more EME:r also to the  higher bands in the future  (as we  already have seen).
  
  
 I will be running this years last Dubus with one 15dBd single  yagi and full power and i am realley hoping to be able to work or hear many of  the EME:r in the final 2007. (hope to have all 4 X yagis running spring  2008)
  
  
  
 BTW!   real big fun on 144mhz CW yesterday when i  tried to work  SM2CEW with reflection on the International space station  when it was passing over EU. Amazing big doppler and we came to  RO  received and R sent but not completed.

   Hello All,
    
   In a few weeks time we will have the last Dubus    event of this
   year and I have already seen that the dates for    2008 are also
   available yet. http://www.sm2cew.com/dubus-aw.html
    
   Yesterday I had email contact with Paul WA6PY and    I mentioned
   the Dubus CW activity nights and hope to meet    him.
   Paul reacted on this that the Dubus events are    not a succes for him
   because Paul is too far west and most stations    are gone by the time
   moon rises at his place.
    
   It is indeed true that the Dubus CW activity    nights are favouring EU
   and is there a possiblity to add a 3rd timeslot    which favours both
   USA and Japan (VK ZL) to have equal changes for    us all ?
    
   In this case there would also for US/JA stations    a good change to work
   CW in more,  than only the 2nd window we    have here in EU.
   This 3rd timeslot would also cover the far    northern regions of EU
   during high moonpasses at the nothern hemisphere,    so the US and JA
   stations even have a change working SM2 ,    northern OH, northern LA.
   We all have read the report from Peter SM2CEW and    know how severe
   WX can be at these places and during wintertime    lots of times they
   are unable to work eme because of frozen    systems.    This extra
   advantage of a 3rd windw for them, would be    cancelled out because
   of this bad WX and fallout.
    
   In my opinion the Dubus events become even more    attractive for USA
   and JA stations and we all like to see  more    CW activity from there, so
   this is a good way to do so !!!
    
   Hopefully this can be implemented already in the    2008 events !!!
    
   I hope to work a lot of you next event and also    participate again in
   2008 :-)
    
   To All GL and best 73
