14.345, 10 AM ET SATURDAYS, AFTER VARO NET SUNDAYS:
CONDITIONS
This month activity was spread over 2 weekends. I
found conditions not to be especially good on either 70 or
23 cm. 1296 activity was up during the pre-contest SW and
during the contest. On the other hand 432 SW operation
seemed light. This was probably due to prep for the contest
on 1296. The shoe will be on the other foot in April with
the DUBUS/REF Contest focusing on 432 and 2300 up.
DUBUS/REF CONTEST HIGH SCORES
It appears that ZS6AXT has
the top 23 cm score with 38x23, but the reports received
thus far are far from complete. The next highest reports
were that of N2IQU with 33x?, K2UYH with 27x19 and W2UHI
with 24x16. I have also heard rumors that OE5JFL, whose
signal was much weaker that normal, made about 10 QSOs using
only an extended horn feed!
GREENLAND DXPEDITION
A dxpedition to Greenland is planned
for 29 May to 5 June on 1296, 432 and 144 MHz using the call
OX2K. The group plans to use an available 32 m dish on 23 cm
- GP46MX, 4 x 28 el 9 wl yagis on 70 cm - GP47TA, and 4 x 5
wl yagis on 2 m - GP47TA. They will also be QRV 24 hours on
6 m and HF - GP47TA. In 1988 Claus, OZ1FDH, and Bo,
OZ1DJJ/OX3LX made the 1st contact from Greenland via EME on
2 m. The idea of making a bigger VHF dxpedition was born
after contacts with W5UN and KB8RQ. After visiting the 32 m
dish in Sondrestrom the idea of an EME dxpedition seemed
very possible. After talking to Holger, OX3HI, who lives
near the dish in Sondrestrom, it was evident that permission
to use the dish could be obtained, but not on all bands.
After Michael, OZ2ELA/OX3LG, a well know HF/VHF/UHF/SHF DXer
in 1998 began working at TELE Greenland, the idea of a EME
dxpedition took a very fast turn. Credit must be given to
Michael for his enthusiasm in this project. Without him and
Holger, an EME dxpedition on this scale would not be taking
place. The objective of the dxpedition is to make as many
contacts via the moon on 2 m, 70 cm and 23 cm as possible.
They will also be active round the clock on 6 m and
shortwave. Another intention is to put Greenland on the
world map and show how friendly and beautiful this country
is, and to try to make it easy for other radio amateurs to
go on a dxpedition to Sondrestrom in Greenland. Six
different stations will be on air at the same time on all
bands, and a crew of about 25 operators is involved. More
information about the dxpedition can be found at the
dxpedition WEB page:
OX2K DX EXPEDITION
CT1DMK
Luis reports on his recent moon activity -- I was
QRV on the SSB Contest weekend, but did not actively operate
the contest. I did make several SSB QSOs. I worked on 12
Feb KB2AH (53/55), K2UYH (34/54) and K5JL (52/54), and on 13
Feb HB9BBD (53/55), OE9ERC (44/55) and ZS6AXT (33/549) SSB
to CW. I spent all winter with the 70 cm feed on the dish
and tried to be on during the SWs. On 70 cm I added 8
initials and one new country. QSOs were made with F5FLN,
F5FEN, DL7APV, K4AR, VE6TA, RW1AW, WB0GGM and WE2Y. Only
minimal progress was made on my 24 GHz EME project. I now
have a good waveguide switch with very little loss at 24
GHz. I'm playing with all sorts of TWTs that can give a
little bit of power at 24 GHz. Rx is working fine, and I
will report on my moon noise experiments very soon. The 23
cm feed will remain on the dish until the 2nd part of the
DUBUS/REF contest. I will then concentrate my activity on
5.7 and 10 GHz. Please let's coordinate which is the
preferably band on Saturday and Sunday. I hate the "wrong
band" syndrome - Hi. See you in RIO.
EA8/LA8LF
Anders attempted to be QRV on 23 cm for the 1st
REF/DUBUS contest weekend -- The station is 3.7 m, f/d 0.51,
homemade dish brought to Lanzarote as air baggage in kit
form, including the mast sections. The feed is a VE4MA horn
w/screws for circular pol. I have VK3UM auto-trak for
pointing. This has all been a 3 year project. Power to feed
is 150 W. I listened on 12 March between 2030 and 2200 and
heard several stations although I was using linear pol. In
the contest I planned to be circular. It is tough trying to
set up a 23 cm EME station from a small island like
Lanzarote. Especially when one visits for only short stays
twice a year. This weekend Murphy did not cooperate. He
struck 1st when I was testing the TX chain on Friday before
the contest weekend. My HF rig IC-735 blew up. I am using it
to drive my transverter. The final amplifier in the IC-735
went bust and took with it the PSU. I have been using this
rig for 22 years and have not had a single problem until
now. I spent most Friday night and Saturday repairing the
IC-735 and it's PSU. I was then ready to test the TX chain
again, but Murphy returned. All worked fine with 200 W out
into my dummy load for 1 hour. Then I decided as planned to
install the cavity (2x7289s) at the back of the dish. Return
loss at the TX port of the feed was more than 30 dB using a
"line stretcher" (double stub tuner). When turning on my
1450 V PSU, after having installed the cavity at the
antenna, bang... and the cavity was gone. The anode Teflon
sheet capacitor was punched-thru by the flash-over. I had no
Teflon nor Kapton at hand. I have been using this cavity for
many years driving my TH-338 cavity at home with no problem.
WX and health conditions were fine. The dish and the RX
chain worked extremely well. I heard many small stations. It
was fun to be back listening on 23 cm EME after more than 2
years. At least I finished the dish/tower and confirmed that
the RX is OK. Next is to improve on the TX to make sure
nothing goes wrong next time. I will most probably bring my
30 Kg TH-338 cavity and build a 1 tube driver with 1000 V
plate voltage to be safe from flash-over. I still plan to
put all this at the back of the dish with only 4 m of 1/2"
hardline up to the feed. I plan to return to Norway this
week and I might be back in May for 2 weeks if return
flights are offered at US$110-130 as was the case last May
(low season). Thanks to all that sent e-mails wishing me
luck and requesting skeds. I am not giving up!
G3LTF
Peter's March operation was a bit restricted on both
the skeds and contest weekends - I concentrated on 23 cm
operation and worked on 12 March OK1KIR,
W2UHI and OZ6OL.
There was very little activity about. I did hear and called
several times SV1OE, but he never responded. I was sorry to
miss him. On 18th March I worked OE9XXI, ZS6AXT, JH5LUZ,
S59DCD, F1ANH, HB9BBD and HA5SHF. I had to QRT at 1930. On
19th March I couldn't start at moonrise due to tree
blockage. I QSO'd SM3AKW, F5PAU, G3LQR, OZ6OL, F5AQC on SSB,
CT1DMK, F6CGJ, DH9FAG, LX1DB on SSB and OE9ERC. CWNR were
DC6UW, JF3HUC, JA8IAD and DK5MV. Heard were F5PL, OZ4MM,
DJ5MN and EA3UM. It is still frustrating to hear weak but
workable stations call and work the loud stations and then
either not call CQ or call CQ on 1296.0100 with about 4
others! The answer is to believe that most of us medium
power stations can tune carefully and have good ears! Just
find a spot in the clear and we will find you!
GM4PLM
Simon and his xyl have just purchased a new QTH with
22 acres of land in West-Central Scotland. He is planning to
build a big EME station for 23 cm and up. As a result he is
looking for a 6 m dish with a surface accuracy good enough
for 10 GHz; an az/el control system and a Mount. Simon's e-
mail is at:
Simon, GM4PLM
IK2MMB
Sergio's Feb report -- During Feb new initials were
added with W1ZX #34 and OK1KIR #35. Basically my whole Feb
activity was concentrated only on days 12 and 13, the SSB
contest days. On SSB I worked K2UYH,
OE9ERC and HB9SV just
by chance. The conditions during the weekend appeared medium
to poor, and participation in the SSB Contest and in general
throughout the weekend seemed low. Still it was a very nice
weekend. Station-wise, I now have fully automated AZ moon
tracking, but only manual EL control. Moreover I have no EL
readout yet, HI! EL adjustment is obtained by the nose
method first, and then by looking for the best echoes. If
you hear someone checking his echoes a thousand times, its
probably me. The winter season is near end, so soon I'll fix
the EL stuff. Thanks to I0UGB, K4QI, HB9SV, GW3XYW, W5LUA,
DJ9YW, K3HZO, OZ4MM, DJ5MN, F5PAU, DF3RU, OZ6OL and ZS6AXT
for their QSL cards.
K6JEY
Doug (DM03wt) writes -- I have been agonizing about
each detail of my station to make sure that it was up to
par. I think that the only thing I could add would be
mechanical polarization rotation to my four antennas. Has
anyone been successful at it? Is it realistic to do? Or are
there other answers? Is it better to have 8 antennas or
rotate the four I have? I thought that I could rotate each
antenna's boom mechanically with a pulley, and slave them to
a motor at the elevation rotor. I haven't solved the problem
of having the coax twist while doing so. Otherwise I will be
content being a relatively QRP station (4 x 25 el K1FO yagis
and 500 W) and enjoy the challenge of EME. [A number of
stations have been successful at rotating individual yagis.
Among them were KB3PD and K3LFO. Regarding the question of
bigger vs. rotating, DL9KR's success argues strongly for the
bigger. You Jan leads the pack on 70 cm, but has only fixed
horz pol yagis!] During the March SW I did fairly good. All
my gear worked fine. Nil was heard from DK3WG and DL9NDD, I
then QSO'd K2UYH (O/O), nil from DL1YMK, QSO with KD4LT
(O/O), nil AL7OB, nil WE2Y, partial 7M2PDT (M/M) - no R's
and partial JA4BLC (M/M) - no R's. I am interested in more
skeds.
K9ZZH
Dick is QRV on 1296 and worked a number of stations
during the contest with only 100 W out. Among those worked
were K5JL, N2IQU, OZ4MM
and a partial with K2UYH.
KJ7F
Terry is a new station on 70 cm EME. Before the March
SW he had already worked DL9KR, N9AB, K5GW, N2IQU, DF3RU,
K1FO, DL4MEA, DL9NDD, G3SEK, G4ERG, N4GJV and DK3WG. He is
interested in skeds and can be reached at:
Terry, KJ7F
KL7HFQ
Roger did a lot of listening on 432 during the March
SW. He heard on 11 March HP3XUG calling Al7OB, but Mike
couldn't hear him at all. His echoes were strong all
weekend. Roger says he probably could have worked some
stations had it not been that the stations he heard were
involved in schedules.
LX1DB
Willie is sharing his station with his son, LX2DB.
LX2DB did much of the 23 cm operation during the DUBUS/REF
Contest. Willie QSO'd on 23 cm during the SW LU8EDR, W7SZ,
W7QX, DF3RU, SM2CEW and IK2MMB. Willie is working on his 10
GHz equipment and will be QRV for next leg of the contest on
all UHF bands.
N2IQU
Mark has his 23 cm power back to normal (500 W). He
is now using a horn on both 23 and 70 cm. The 70 cm horn is
linearly polarized with vertical and horizontal switching.
Mark reports that he is now hearing and xmitting very well
on 70 cm. During the contest he worked 33x? on 23 cm,
including WA9FWD, EA3UM and W1QC,
but no new ones.
NU7Z
Rick has not been on for a couple of months, but is
still QRV on 5760 and available for skeds. He is putting up
8 yagis for 903 with elevation control and has 600 W.
ON4QQ
Danny ON4AOD writes that he and Luc, ON6JY have been
working on become active for a while now. Luc has the 4 m
dish up and is received the 1st signals off the moon on 23
cm. No transmission yet. Danny is working on the 10 GHz
part. The plan is to be active with 30 W on 3 cm. They hope
to be QRV before the summer.
OK1KIR
Antonin reports on his group Feb SW activity. They
worked on 432 on 12 Feb at 1104 VK4AFL (O/O) for initial
#343 and QG field (44), 1912 UA3PTW (O/O) #344, 2101 VE6TA
(O/O) #345, 2131 WB0GGM (O/O) #346 and 2201 W7SZ (O/O) #
347, and on Feb 13 at 2302 AL7OB (M/M) #348. Heard were
DF3RU, DJ6MB, G3LTF, K1FO, KB1EYB(?), N2IQU, NC1I, SM3AKW
and W7CNK. On 1296 they QSO'd on 13 Feb at 1233 JA8IAD
(449/O) for initial #165, 1303 JF3HUC (549/559) #166, 1328
ZS6AXT (559/559), 1333 I0UGB (549/539) #167, 1403 IK2MMB
(549/539) #168, 1435 OE9ERC (56/44) JN79/JN47 on SSB, 1555
HB9SV (579/559), 2011 W1ZX (O/O) #169 and state of MD (26)
and 2104 W1QC (549/449) #170 and state of NH (27).
Heard
were DD1XF, DF3RU, DJ5MN, G3LQR, G4DZU, GW3XYW, IK6EIW,
HA5SHF, HB9BBD, K5JL, N2IQU, OH2DG, OZ6OL, PA3CSG and W2UHI.
VE6TA
Grant's (DO33gs) 1296 March results -- I found good
conditions on 1296 for the DUBUS/REF Contest. I just wish
there were a bit more activity. Weather may again have
played a part in keeping some stations off the air. I
managed to work the following (all on random): OZ4MM, OZ6OL,
SM3AKW, K5JL, F1ANH, OE9XXI, OE9ERC, F6CGJ, W2UHI, K2UYH,
N2IQU, W1QC for initial #43, W5LUA, HB9BBD, ZS6AXT, F5PAU,
K4QI, W7SZ and W3XS #44. Heard but not worked were W4AD,
VE6NA, DJ5MN and JF3HUC. My total was 19x13. I am presently
using a 5 m dish with 300 W in the shack. I hope to be on
432 for the next leg of the contest.
VK4AFL
Trevor writes -- I am looking forward to warmer WX
in the Northern Hemisphere and with it thawed out antenna
systems, etc. The activity in recent months has been very
enjoyable, and has provided some new initials: KB0VUK, W7SZ,
DL7APV, OK1KIR, JJ1NNJ, SM3AKW, HB9SU and DJ6MB. As cycle 23
approaches its peak, nearly every contact over the last
several months has required a lot of polarity correction -
usually in the 45 to 60 deg region with just the very odd
station workable without Faraday effects. I have yet to work
anyone south of the equator! I have noted that a few EME
stations are also active on 6 m including myself and I think
this year is very likely to be the best one for the cycle.
W5LUA
Al 24' stressed dish was destroyed by a bad storm
after nearly 20 years of use. He has move his IMU feed over
to a 5 m dish and is QRV again on 23 cm. During the March SW
he worked about 17 stations including 3 JAs - JF3HUC, JA8IAD
and JH5LUZ. Al says he seems to hear pretty well on the
smaller dish.
W7QX
Jerry had a great time on 1296 during the contest. The
first night he worked 9 stations, but overslept the Asian
window. Stations QSO'd were CT1DMK, F6CGJ, OE9ERC, OE9XXI,
OZ4MM, ZS6AXT, F1ANH, K5JL, F5PAU, K2UYH and OE5EYM. Jerry
ended with a score of 11x7 and #32 initial on 23 cm.
W7SZ
Larry was QRV in the REF/DUBUS contest on 23 cm and
worked 15x11 in the contest and 19 for the week including 6
initials with OK1KIR, LU8EDR, W3XS, F1ANH,
F5PAU and W1QC.
He heard W5LUA very loud and JF3HUC. Larry notes that he
needs VK for WAC.
WA9FWD
John was active on 1296 during the DUBUS/REF Contest
and worked 9 stations the 1st night. QSOs were made with
K5JL, W2UHI, SM3AKW for an initial (#), F6CGJ, F5PAU, F1ANH,
OZ4MM, OE9XXI and N2IQU. John ended with a score of 10x8 for
the contest. After the contest he heard nil from DJ5MN on
sked and worked VE6TA He now has a new VE4MA feed for 23 cm
ready to mount and is working on GI7B amp for 23cm. John
hopes to be able to listen on 13 cm during the UHF leg of
the DUBUS/REF Contest.
ZS6AXT
Ivo reports - On 18 March, my 1st pass of the Moon,
on 23 cm I worked W2UHI, K5JL, OZ4MM, SM3AKW, F5PAU, F1ANH,
N2IQU, F6CGJ, OE9ERC and W7QX. Missed were OE5EYM, VE6TA and
OE9XXI. On 19 March I added OZ6OL, JH5LUZ, HB9BBD, G3LTF,
S59DCD, OE9XXI, IK2MMB, DH9FAG, OE5EYM, G3LQR, F5AQC,
CT1DMK, W1QC, KB2AH, W3XS, K2UYH, VE6TA, OE5JFL/QRP, K4QI,
W4AD for initial #154 and W5LUA on the horizon. CWNR were
OK1DFC, JF3HUC, DL6YDH, HA5SHF and WA5FWD. And on 19 March,
my last pass, QSO'd were JF3HUC, JA8IAD,
EA3UM, LX2DB, [Does
he count as new initial? - Not according to the rules
decided some years ago.] DJ5MN, DK5MV and F5PL. CWNR was
HA5SHF (many times) and DC6UW. Also heard was ON5JNS(?). My
total was 38x23. This is lower than last year. Signals were
generally good with some periods of poor echoes. We had here
heavy rain for both days, which soaked my protective plastic
over the dish and also water got into my AZ potentiometer,
causing the display to be a bit out. I am looking forward to
the 2nd part of the contest, on 13 cm. Due to the day time I
will be not able to use my CCTV camera, and thus will not be
on 6 cm. My AZ-EL indications are not good enough for 6 cm.
K2UYH
I was active only on 70 cm during the March SW. On 11
March at 0130 nil JH0WJF - Noriyuki missed the sked, and
QSO'd at 2047 DF3RU (569/559), 2100 K4AR (O/O) for initial
#623 and 2130 K6JEY (O/O) #624. This last QSO was a real
cliffhanger with no signals heard either way until 2157! We
were then able to complete by 2205. The follow weekend I
operated the DUBUS/REF Contest on 1296. The 1st night my TV
camera went bad. This delayed operation and caused problems
later as the new camera was not correctly boresighted.
Despite the tracking problems I QSO'd on 18 March at 0128
F6CGJ (559/559), 0202 OZ6OL (559/559), 0207 K5L (559/549),
0220 OZ4MM (559/449), 0229 SM3AKW (559/559), 0243 OE9ERC
(579/569), 0250 VE6TA (559/559), 0303 VE6NA (O/339) for
initial #173, 0308 OE9XXI (579/569), 0314 F1ANH (569/579),
0326 W7SZ (549/549), 0341 EA3UM (569/569), 0412 W1QC
(559/559) and 0437 W5LUA (559/569). I had my tracking and
camera problems corrected the 2nd day and worked on 19 March
at 0043 HB9BBD (589/589), 0050 CT1DMK (559/559), 0057 ZS6AXT
(559/579), 0104 F5PAU (559/559), 0111 OE5JFL (559/559), 0114
W2UHI (569/579), 0119 N2IQU (579/579), 0124 DH9FAG (559/559)
#174, 0128 K4QI (579/559), 0133 S59DCD (559/579), 0136 W3XS
(559/569), 0200 K9ZZH?(QRZ), 0237 W7QX (449/549) #175 and
0250 OE5EFM (559/559) for a contest total of 27x19. We were
back on the moon between 0800-0900 looking for JAs, but
heard nil except my own echoes - where was everyone? At 0900
I switched to 70 cm for an extra sked at 0915 with JH0WJF.
This time I copied Noriyuki FB (559), but he did not hear
me.

TECHNICAL
I recently discovered some unpublished technical
notes written by Dick, W2IMU in response to a discussion on
using part of my 28'dish as a reflector for 10 GHz
operation. The whole 28' reflector is too big to be easily
pointed and does not yield gain proportional to its. In
addition the surface accuracy would be better for a portion
of the reflector relative to the whole, and could be easily
illuminated in a fashion similar to an offset reflector. I
believe his notes will be of general interest and are shown
at the end of this NL.
A letter from W2IMU to K2UYH.
Second part.
The details.
FINAL
-- Time is running out to get your reservation and material in
for the RIO 2000 Conference. This is an event you don't want
to miss! Please help by getting your material to Don ASAP.
-- There are not too many skeds this month because of the
contest. Many stations do not want skeds on a contest
weekend. In addition there is a penalty in the DUBUS/REF
Contest for QSOs that were the result of skeds.
-- Although the print distribution of this NL appears to have
stabilized at little below 100, there is no doubt that the
majority of you receive the NL by electronic form, either by
e-mail or by down load from the WEB. It is now possible for
me to include more of the graphics in the e-mail addition.
Many e-mail subscribers do not want the additional graphics
because of the added down load time. Another possibility
would be for me to supply the NL in PDF format. I would
appreciate hearing your comments on the desirability of
adding graphics to the e-mail version, and general
suggestion for how the NL can be improved.
-- The EME calendar is starting to fill with many interesting
events. Don't forget F1ANH's 1296 EME Tests on 1 and 2 April
at the French VHF-UHF-SHF meeting. Activity will start at
0700. The 2nd leg (432 and 13 cm up) of the DUBUS/REF
Contest of course follows this, which also coincides with
this month's SW. Then we have the OX2K Greenland dxpedition
to look forward to on 29 May to 5 June. I also know that
many EMEers are planning to attend the Dayton Hamvention,
19-21 May.
-- That's the news for this 29. Please keep the reports
coming in. We need more technical material! I hope to CU off
the moon during the contest on 70 cm.
