[Moon-net] 144MHz CW DUBUS Activity Event report de SV2KBS

[Panagiotou Victoria SV2KBS]

Greetings gentlemen !

I unfortunately missed almost the half 1st leg of the event because I was
travelling - however since I got home I switched everything on at once and
stayed QRV full time.
This time I found things much more difficult compared to the European EME
Contest - It was hard for me to find the signals and I managed to establish
only two QSOs

03/05  0622  OZ1HNE   RO/O
03/05  1203  LA8YB     RO/O

Throughout the Activity Event I was using Jurgen's OZ1HNE signals as a
beacon - FB Jurgen for your booming signal !
I also easily copied Finn at the 2nd leg. Beautiful signal, fast QSO - Mange
takk skal du ha for en hyggelig QSO !
Apart from this I had the chance to partially copy a couple of french
stations as well as IK2DDR -I believe- however they faded away before I had
the chance to fully acknowledge them and call them back.
Now I am looking forward for more activity and get the most of what I can
from my EME setup !

Apart from the Activity Event I was lucky enough to complete two skeds one
day after the Activity Event and one yesterday (10/05/08), one with Joe
CT1HZE and another one with Stan OK1MS respectively. Thank you guys !
I was also about to complete another one yesterday midnight with Marius F8DO
-and just when I got our callsigns and I was about to send O-  Mr. Murphy
visited me and I was shocked to see the needle of my SWR meter jumping high
- showing 4:1. I will do my very best to locate and fix the problem during
this week and soon as soon as everything is operational I would love to
arrange skeds with anybody that is interested !

My compliments to all of the participants !!
See you off the Moon !
