Dear Joe,
         I plan to be active on EME from Oct. on. I have had no technical 
difficulties, only schedule conflicts. It has been a crazy few months. 
Hoever, things are looking better this fall. I am still running about 1200 
watts output to four 25el K1FO antennas and about a .3db nf. I have 
received my own echoes on good nights easily. If anyone would like to 
schedule a QSO with me, I would like them to contact me personally first. 
Starting with Oct 5, I should be ok. My only limitation is that I try to 
save the Saturday of the dark the moon weekends for Astronomy. Looking 
forward to lots of QSO's.

Thanks Joe,

Sorry, I spaced that...my old address was 

[email protected]        @@@@@@@@@

It has not worked for a couple of months, so likely has been bouncing.

Tnx agn and 73, Donzil   WS0F

Subject: My first EME QSO
X-Commtouch-Loop: 5


Hello Clyde,

I would like to inform you that on 15 september I made my first EME QSO
on 10 GHz with W6DH. We made a fine QSO with an M report from me to W6DH
and a 559 report back for me.
My working conditions are: using a 3 meter Andrew dish with 50 Watt
output and a nF of about 0.9 dB. I am receiving 1 dB moon noise and
about 13 dB solar noise. My own echo's look quite good and sometimes I
could even copy my own SSB echo.
Now I still have to work on my station because I can't be QRV when it is
raining because the TWT with high voltage supply must be outdoors. I
must work on the TWT and get it installed in a waterproof box.
Furthermore I need to change my antenna tracking so that its working
automaticaly. Now I must read the computer calculations and set it on
the azimuth and elevation readout myself. 
I still need a lot of work to be done before I can be realy QRV but I
could make skeds. 
I heard also several other stations but due to my lack of CW knowledge I
do not know who these where. I identified WA7CJO with a strong signal
calling CW but was not able to come on because of the heavy rainfall.

Will keep you informed about my progress and must learn CW in this
coming winter period.

Subj:    23cm-EME: QSLs missing
Date:   9/24/01 3:00:27 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From:   [email protected]
To:     [email protected]

Dear EMEers,
still I, DJ5MN, am waiting for QSLs from the following stations
worked on 23cm EME:
SM6CKU
F2TU
OE9XXI
KB2AH (now K2AH ?)
N2IQU (now N2IQ)
KD5IUV
K5JL
JF3HUC
HB9BHU
DL6LAU
WA9FWD
K5GW
W4AD
WA4NJP

I have worked most of these stations more than a year ago and sent QSL
direct with self addressed envelope and enough return postage. Additionally
I have sent QSL via the bureau. In some cases I also sent a second time direct.
In some cases I also sent a reminder via email. In 2 cases I got QSL
strongly promised by SSB-QSO via the moon. Still I am waiting for
QSLs of the above mentioned stations. I already asked via the EME-
net on 20m or via the netnotes, if these stations have ever received
my QSLs direct or via the bureau WITHOUT ANY REPLY at all.
Gentlemen, how can I get a card for our EME-QSO? Is there
any chance to get one at all. Please let me and other EME-
enthusiasts know if you are interested in QSLs and if you at
least QSL in return.
So far I was able and happy to work 99 initials on 23cm-EME in all
continents with my small 2,95m-dish. Please help me to get all of these
stations confirmed. Can anyone help??

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards and good luck in the ARRL-contest!

Joe, I will be QRV on 1296  for Stanford test during Microwave Update 
2001 on 1296 on Friday mornig. Still 2.4 m dish, 400 W hear echoes M copy. 
I am slowly working on radar pedestal for my big dish.
