[Moon-net] 432 condx

[k3mf at aol.com]

 Signals were way down at my QTH...NC1I and K2UYH were barely audible, I called both but only QRZ reply. Tried to work K7XQ on JT but not even a trace.  Worked KL6M but Mike's signal was also very weak. Very deep QSB on all the signals I copied.

Hello All,
Got on during 1st pass Saturday to try out new built 4 X 9 W.L. XPOL and found 
very poor condx. On for abt 5.5 hrs including 2 hrs VK/JA window.
Echoes abt 6- 10 dB down then normal and signals very choppy to the point where 
you couldn’t 
even copy single characters. Wondering if anyone else experienced this yesterday 
?

Interesting was ALL signals ( EU/and NA ) were horizontally polarized and found 
my echoes on both polarities.

Will be on for the last hours on 432 moonrise to 0000 Z to try for some last 
minute QSO’s.

Will keep adding more yagis in the months ahead. 4 yagis on 432 does not cut it.
