[Moon-net] SV1BTR results ARRL 2009 EME Contest

[Dimitris Vitorakis]

Aloha to all

In last leg I operated only on 2m & 70cm. Thanks to all for the excellent
fun & QSOs.
Being away from the eme qth for a month, it is highly likely to come up with
problems when one shows up. This time the motor of azimuth rotor was dead
prior to contest, and thus dish could not move. As such I could not be qrv
on 23cm where i missed a lot of fun, action and a big number of friends.
2m V pol. had moisture-water, no time to fix. 70cm rx was degraded by 2db
since it had been raining non-stop for 2 days.
Sunday night wx was at last good and signals were much better.
To warm up the shack Murphy decided to assist! Thus, Saturday afternoon
onwards I had 40+C fever, which made operation quite challenging.
I lost big part of my moonrise session on Saturday as my body could not
cooperate. The ears were working in the red, to copy callsigns & reports :-)

Total QSO count on CW is 208 + 6 dups. All QSOs on random (no logger
chats-no spots), except 2 which were skeds * with vy fast and ufb signals.
QSO breakdown: 2m:60 (including several single yagi and qrp stations with
great signals - congrats!), 70cm:48 , 23cm (qrv 1st leg only):57 , 13cm:43
