[Moon-net] 3X5A status - 28 November

[aa7a at cox.net]

Last night was a fairly good night for EME from 3X. We made a handful of CW 
qso's and we battled and vanquished the elements once again. We had below
average conditions, intermittent GPS signals and intermittent high QRN but 
managed to log 34 more contacts.

Email service is hard here so I will not post calls worked at this time but will 
produce a report once I return home.

We will be QRV again tonight starting at 2245Z on JT65b on 144.084. We will 
remain QRV in the JA window until 0145Z where will QSY to 144.149. We will stay 

on JY65b until 0500Z where we will QSY to CW mode on 144.045. At 0700Z we will return to JT65b and operate until moonset at 1130Z.

We are changing our operating plan for Friday. In order to leave more time to 
lower the EME array safely, we will shut down EME operation at 0700Z on 30 
November. We will use local help to lower this setup so that it will live to 
serve another operation in the future.

Look for everyone again tonight.

Good luck!
