From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Dear Joe,
I am absolutely unsure but I also worked DL4DTU and I personally
assume that Norbert, DL4DTU, was operating DK0ZAB in year 2000
ARRL-eme-contest and now he is QRV from the same station (10m dish, 100W)
using his own call. Perhaps he is preparing for next weekends contest.
BUT this is just my idea...I do not know exactly....
Worked WA6PY, DL4DTU, JA6AHB and some others this WE. Very happy to
work other little pistols like WA6PY (2.4m, 500W), JA6AHB (7m, 100w).
I heard lots of others and also worked quite some of the regulars.
I heard some new ones for me like IK3COJ and F/G8MBI, but could not
QSO with them due to several reasons.....hmmm
Also worked DL4MUP (3m + QRO)
Cu in the contest!

For anyone who worked DL4DTU on 23cm last weekend

Subj: [Moon-Net] 432 Mhz
Date: 11/10/01 11:25:59 AM Eastern Standard Time
From: [email protected] (Mark EA8FF)
To: [email protected] (moon-net)
To all who called me without reply,it seems that everybody wants to stick below
432.020,where I have a lot of computer interference in the daytime,a 3db preamp
would probably work as good in the lower segment.
I am QRV 11 nov,anybody who wants the multiplier,pse contact me at [email protected]

Hi Barry!
Thanks for the sked details. Our European window opens at 1345Z Sat. and
1415Z Sun - we'll be listening from the start. We have a 2.5m dish and
0.5 dB NF, > about 2dB moon noise. X-band EME has been a long time in works.
Steve and I have complete rebuilt two SCR-584 pedestals with steppers,
digital encoders, custom embedded computers, and custom PC tracking software.
We've got about 0.02 degree pointing accuracy. Been strip charting received
noise from sun and moon - tracking error looks very good. No problem with
frequency error either. (Transmit will be a 50W TWTA when we get time to hook
it up, and we're rack mounting an 800W Klystron...yowza(!)...some fun).
It's funny, with the contest weekend coming up, Steve actually suggested I
e-mail a few of the regulars ("seasoned folks") to find out what they've
got cookin'. Glad we connected! Steve's doing well. Got married for a
second time a few years back. He's in the process of moving the heck out
of the Silicon Valley zoo. Also seems like he's shifting to more of an
elmer role, going from doer to advisor. (I guess it helps with me being a
few years younger and more energetic to do the grunt work). Wow 1972! Guess
Steve's always been one to encourage others with his pioneer spirit.
Anyway, we'll be listening on 10. I'll let Steve know you we're also
thinking about him!
Best Regards,
Rich

Today I had a little more luck.
The PA kept going and I worked the following
G4CCH, HB9BBD, OZ4MM and K5JL up to 6 initials now HI
I think these are all firsts of 23cm EME from GM
copied OE9XXI, several others heard before I had to go QRT.
More time to operate tomorrow between 08:00 and 12:00
Skeds welcome.
It seems that I can be copied OK on a 5m Dish or larger.
Several improvements will be made to the system in due course, more power, better
nF and extension to the dish details at www.dc2light.co.uk
Equipment is 125W to 2.4m dish 0.75dB nf Loc IO85AR
