[Moon-net] Dubus CW Event results

[Edward R. Cole]

I operated (I should say listened, mostly) on 3Feb2007 from 0400-0600 utc.

Only heard stations calling on 144.045 and 144.049.  From reports on
MoonNet the former was IK3MAC.  I found Faraday had shifted signals from EU
to H-pol for the weekend.  Normally I receive EU & US signals best in V-pol
(my latitude is 151W).  I was not impressed with signal levels and had
difficulty copying any full calls.  Therefore, I did not transmit.
Previous attempts at QRP CQing were for naught.  My Tx is 185w with 125w
reaching antenna.

I switched to JT65 sub-band and worked DK5EN 0538 utc (-21), and
unsuccessful attempt with EA3DXU.  QRT about 0615.
