[Moon-net] 70cm EME contest

[Krzysztof SP7DCS]

Hi,

Very disappointing results here.
Begining was quite nice when I worked VK3UM and KL6M. After some time I 
found out that my TX is not working. I found that my 7/8inch TX line got 
broken while system was getting elevated. Last winds must have change TX 
line aligment on a mast and H frame and there was no cable enought to 
rotate antenna safely. I wonder if cable was not broken partly during 
first qsos.
I spent a few hours to repair it and just to make something temporary.
I was ready agn in the evening and even with less power due to more swr 
I worked OZ4MM. After that my preamp went dead and decided it is enough 
for that weekend...
 From December I had a lot of Murphy visits and I spent more time 
repering something then being on the band.
Soon I will take down 70cm array for maintanance and move it to better 
place in eme qth. I will use lower mast that will allow me to do repair 
and maintanance work without taking antenna down.

Setup: 4 x 25el + 250W (actually about 200W this weekend)

WKD: VK3UM, KL6M, OZ4MM

HRD: DL7APV, DL1YMK, SV1BTR, SM3JQU, OK1DFC, DF3RU, G3LTF, I1NDP, 
SM2CEW, JA6AHB, NC1I, UA3PTW

Effectively time of operation was only about 3h.
