[Moon-net] [Moon] The World, The Moon, and JT65

[Richard Beerman]

Dear Euros who wish to dominate everything. Back in the OSCAR 13  
days, we had to contend with some Euro stations who had ridicules  
operating practices. After we got mad, we just laughed at them  
because they looked so silly. It's the same today on 2 Meter EME.  
EXCEPT, I am on my way to VR2 land for an extended stay where big  
antennas are pretty much impossible and big amps will QRM the entire  
building. Therefore, when I finally get there, get licensed, get the  
station set up  or hook up with local Hams to find a suitable  
location, if you want to work and confirm VR2, you will have to do it  
on JT-65B or whatever Joe comes up with next. Otherwise, no VR2 for  
you. It will be a challenging path anyway for almost everyone. No  
operating dates will be available until I arrive and see what is  
possible - sometime after May, or even much later. In the mean  
time.... will you all please get real and stop the old QRM on here.   
I love CW  on EME but I just can not do it from my small yard....  
it's kind of like living in VR2 land only the acreage is bigger here.  
Thank you from 99.9 per cent of us.   Dick  W5AK
