[Moon-net] 8N1EME QRV Information on 24th Feb

[S.Umezawa]

Hi All,

We worked 8stations on 432MHz yesterday.

JA6AHB,VK4AFL,PA3CSG,OK1TEH(JT),G4RGK(JT),
OH3KLJ(JT),S54T(JT),S53T(JT),UA3PTW,G3LTF,SM3AKW

Our 32m antenna is V-pol fixed no H-pol.
PA out is only 500W and 50m cable(loss:approx 3dB).
Antenna gain is about 34dBi.It is same as 16yagis.
I think the antenna gain at 32m Dish will has more
gain. But The dish will use for other purpose after
operating of 8N1EME so we cannot feed at best focus.
So the efficiency will be 13%.
That is the reason that our signal is weak.
However the efficiency on 1296MHz is more.
The feed is 2.4m dish with septum feed.

We have to setup 1296MHz first today.
So our qrv will be late and qrv at approx 0400UTC
today.
We have a plan to be qrv on 432Mhz and 1296MHz
today.
