[Moon-net] Recent EME Acitivy for Saturday June 28

[LANCE COLLISTER]

TO5E in FK878ov (*) - W7XU, N0JQM and W0SD are QRV in FJ, and I ran with them on 
their moonset today.  They put out a great signal (-21 dB on JT65A) but have local 
noise to the west on their moonset.  They may have better success on moonrise, but 
have not tried that with anyone yet.  Their terrestrial shot to NA and EU is over 
water.  http://www.w0sd.com/stbart/bart.htm

ZF2ZD in EK88gi (*).  I completed with Mario on JT65A mode today during his moonset. 
  He was -26 dB with ZB2BI's 6M5X yagi.  He hopes to have his 6M7JHV up as soon as 
the local guys bring the tower over (was supposed to be today)...hopefully he will be 
QRV soon with the larger antenna.  Mario is very anxious for EME skeds on both 
moonrise and moonset.

CY0X in FN39xv (*).  They do not have JT65A and cannot run their amplifier while 
aiming to the west, so they are not at all functional on EME during their moonset. 
If somebody has a huge array they might be able to work them on CW during their 
moonrise if the sked time did not coincide with an Es opening, which is their highest 
priority.  Since arriving there, they have been very busy on 6m Es.  They are 
reporting having difficulty operating 2m EME due to high local noise level and RFI, 
but will continue to accept skeds (CW only) during moonrise.  http://cy0x.com/cy0x/

5J0M in EK92dm.  Dennis is now on HK0, and hopes to have the antenna up by mid-day on 
Sunday. His 6M7JHV yagi looks right out over the water on moonrise, and he does have 
JT65A (he made some successful EME contacts from V36M), manual elevation and an ACOM 
1000. Contact is via W1JJ or W5OZI.  http://www.qth.com/k7bv/caribe2008/

KL7/W6JKV in BP65ha (*).  Jimmy has JT65A and his amplifier working and is fully QRV 
now.  Saturday he was working JA on Es, and has completed some.  He is looking for 
additional skeds for his moonrise and moonset, and does have some manual elevation 
capability for those who are horizon-only.  http://www.mt-aurora.com/
