[Moon-net] EV5M 23cm EME

[Dmitry Dmitriev]

Hello, moon-net.

here is an information about upcoming 23cm EME expedition to Belorussia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

We would announce our plans for 23 cm EME dxpedition for 10/11 May to
Byelorussia (KO54nj) – EV5M – for operating during DUBUS Contest.
Expedition team members are: UA3DJG, UA3ATS, RA3WND, EW1EW, EU1AB,
EW1DU. The following equipment will be used: 3,6-m portable stressed
dish with RA3AQ-optimized septum feed and W2DRZ trekker, HB LNA with 0.4
dB NF, HB LD-MOSFET PA with Pout of 350W and PC-controlled TS-790.

Unfortunately, expedition schedule is extremely tight and we cannot
guarantee 100% that and we will plenty of time before the contest,
indeed. So, now, we wouldn’t arrange the skeds in advance, but we will
try to be in the air as much as possible. If we get the Internet
connection at the “point” we’ll try to coordinate our work on-line and
pay maximum attention not only QRO but also QRP stations. We are
planning to operate from ~ 07:00 UTC, May, 9th till ~ 21:00 UTC, May,
11th. Before DUBUS EME contest we will stay on 1296.055 (plus/minus
possible QRM). Some photos from previous expeditions are avaliable in:
