[Moon-net] 2 mtr EME report de PE1BTX

[Gerard van den Berg]

Dear All,

Worked the following on 2 mtr EME last week

On sunday had difficult copy of DX0EME but when my moon came higher signals improved.
Unfortunatly my actuator for elevation stopped (brooke down) at 15 degrees and I rappitly lost moon and the signal of DX0EME  :-(((

Monday evening 4 hours of repair to get ready for the upcoming JD1 expedition.
At 2130Z al was working again, pointing at the moon and great echos.

2008-02-18    wrkd PA3CWN    new CW initial #9    EME initial # 231
Oene is my shortest EME QSO, distance between us only 42 km but with the DSP seperation of the EME and Tropo signals was no problem
We keyed letter by letter, waiting for each echo, conditions were FB, signals up to 529 from both of us.

2008-02-20    wrkd JD1BMP    new DXCC #98    EME initial # 232 
2008-02-20    wrkd F1FLA       new CW initial #10  (no new EME, already wrkd b4 in JT65)
Jean was very strong up to 539, fb EU-EU conditions

If you are interested to run a CW sked with me, than pse mail me for a proposal.
