I am very pleased to congratulate HL4GHT for the first 6m EME contact from South
Korea! I completed with Kim today on his moonrise during his first ground gain lobe
between 5 and 8 degrees elevation. His JT65A signal peaked at -23 dB here. Kim's 6m
station is a 4CX1000A amp (currently only running 500w) and a 10 element YU7EF yagi
on the horizon. He also has a fully steerable array of four 4 element yagis to use
when the moon is above his second ground gain lobe.
MM0AMW also copied him very well (-24 dB), as did W1JJ (-21 dB)on Kim's lower ground
gain lobe. His second lobe seemed to be up around 18-20 degrees elevation. After his
moon was above 20 degrees, Kim QSY'ed to 2m and I was fortunate enough to get him
there for another new country ;-)
HL4GHT was my 6m DXCC #127 (DXCC #77 via EME on 6m). Best wishes for DX and VY 73,
Lance
