[Moon-net] EME CW Contest

[Don Richards]

This was quite an EME CW contest this past weekend.  I have never heard 
so many signals on 1296....they were covering each other.  With my 3 
meter dish and only 200 watts output power I had a hard time making 
contacts but I did confirm a few:

OZ4MM, OK1CA, G4CCH, RW1AW, VE6TA, LA8LF, G3LTF, W4QI

My "waterfall" display was showing many signals and I copied lots of 
calls and called them but they were quickly "covered" by several at the 
same time....it was fierce competition.  One surprise was that I did not 
see/hear a BIG signal from AD6IW (the Jamesburg Earth Station); it was 
much weaker at my station than in their past efforts.  Regardless, I 
enjoyed the contest.
