[Moon-net] First 1296 EME QSO from EA3DXU

[J.M.Prat]

Hi All

I am glad to completed my first EME QSO on 1296 Mhz , running my call EA3DXU and from my home QTH  JN11CM

this mornning completed my small 1296 set up  ( 2 x 35 el M2 + HB9BBD preamplifier / Tx is a 2C39 = 70 W )

very eassy see Howard G4CCH calling CQ on 1296.065   ( 100000  2  -22  2.3 -124 10 *      CQ G4CCH IO93             1  10  )
then started sked with Howard and we completed after some periods  ( big drift in my Tx signal , make very difficult to decode at G4CCH side )

100600  0  -23  2.4 -261 18 *      EA3DXU G4CCH IO93         1  10 
102000  1  -25  2.4 -899  8 #      EA3DXU G4CCH IO93   OOO   0  10 
102400  0  -27      -331 13  RRR
102600  2  -26      -491  2   73 

I see a long job to stabilize my Tx signal , for make posible a better decode , but I am sure I can do some QSOs with medium / big stations on JT65C
and sure I will be abble to hear on CW the real big guns on 1296 , and ...... do not know if CW QSO will be also posible ( my power is still quite low )

I am really happy for this QSO now QRV on EME on 3 bands 144 / 432 / 1296
