[Moon-net] [Moon] 13cm at G3LTF...or,The usual frustrations!

[peter blair]

 I'm too old for a "face lift" Guenter!
 I think there are two maybe three reasons.
1) Several people are operating multiple bands, 6,3,13cm so time per band is limited and so possibly searching is a bit quick. I suspect that more SDR systems like yours would help
2)There is more QRM in the US in the 2320 segment from the satellite radio system and from cordless radio stuff, we can probably never run enough power to overcome that. 
3) In Europe all our tropo operation is on 2320 and so systems are tried out more, and many EU countires can operate both2320 and 2304 so they can check echoes on both bands and so on.

  Hello,

  I was waiting for Peter's comment, and now I can totally agree. It was frustrating to see only one trace on my 12kHz wide waterfall on 2320 which was him, and at the same time 5 traces on 2304.

  Peter, what else must we do in order to become more attractive?

  From 0000 to 0326 I worked 14 stations. DF3RU #, F2TU, RW1AW, OH2DG, OK1KIR, ES5PC, IK2RTI #, SM3AKW, OE9ERC, HB9SV, ( Xband)  F5JWF #,SP6GWN #, K1JT (Xband) DL4MEA. CWNR were  W5LUA,WD5AGO, NA4N 
   I then had a short  nap and in the next three hours to 0915  I worked only PA0BAT. But as usual I did hear a lot of others on 2304 ... and called them, mostly many times,  WD5AGO, WA6PY,KL6M, NA4N, K7XQ,  IW2FZR,and OK1CA.
   I would be interested to hear of anyone who called me X band and didnt get a reply, when the RIT runs out its easy to make an setting error on split operation.
    Hope some of you US guys will be on tomorrow.
