[Moon-net] 70cm Dubus contest '08

[SV3AAF Petros]

It was nice to see really good participation in 70cm Dubus ‘08 EME contest.

Conditions were poor to average at their very best. They employed quite a few negative effects ranging from faraday spread and 90 deg polarity shift to choppy libration and unusually high path loss for a perigee. This, at times, made it near forbidding to operate with a smaller station like mine.

Stations worked: VK3UM, SV1BTR, DL7APV, I1NDP, UA3PTW, DF3RU, OZ4MM, G3LTF, SM2CEW, HB9Q, OK1DFC, KL6M, NC1I.

Stations heard: SP6JLW, RW3PX, F3VS, K2UYH for a moment, JA6AHB sorry Toshio impossible to complete the QSO.

WX was good and did not cause any problems. Big bang in the shack at 19z/Sunday knocked me off the air for a 15min repair break.

See you in 144 and 1296 European ww contests next months.
