[Moon-net] 3.4 GHz from VK3NX

[Charlie Kahwagi]

Hello everyone,
                        On 22nd May 2007  @ 1100 -1115 utc, I completed my first QSO on 3.4 GHz EME  with Willi LX1DB.  Sigs: 529 /559 (and a very FB and quick QSO!)  Rx  needs work!!

(Can someone tell me what the 3.4 GHz EME world record is?)


I think this is the first VK contact on 3.4 GHz  EME and  I am very pleased to be on a new band.   I have a lot of work still to do, to optimise the system as I am only just hearing echoes,  (and they should be quite loud).  Hopefully improvememts will come quickly and I can work similar sized stations as mine soon.    All things being well,  I hope to be QRV for the activity weekend.

.....Looking forward to working others on 9cm.  Please contact me for skeds.
