Hi Joe,
I made some progress last week on 1296 EME. I setup skeds with G4CCH
and OE9ERC. I think I may have as little as 30 watts at the feed since I
was only seeing about 60 watts in the shack since I run 70 feet of 1/2
inch hardline before it reaches the feedhorn. They both heard me with
"M" copy and full calls. The biggest problem I have is frequency drift
on the transverter and not knowing where I am frequency wise. I think
both stations had to hunt around to find me.
The strange thing is I couldn't hardly copy them !! They both
run very large stations so if anything, I should have at least copied
them. I only got bits and pieces of letters. I will be getting a
IC-1271A in the next few weeks. This will cure the frequency drift and
frequency accuracy issue. The fact the signals were down may have
something to do with the fact I was running a single probe in the feed (
linear polarization ) and that I need to setup it back up for circular
that should at least give me the 3 dB extra I need to hear better.
I just received a 5 foot equipment rack today, so I am tearing
things down and rebuilding the amplifiers into the rack. I may not be
QRV this weekend at least on 1296 but maybe on 144 or 432 Sunday.

Subj: [Moon-Net] My 1st EME QSO on 13cm de PA3DZL

Hello friends,
I'm very happy to tell that I made my first 13cm EME QSO this evening with
Erich, OE9ERC. His outstanding station made it possible because I have
only a QRP rig for this band (2.50m dish, 30W and 0.6dB NF at the feed).
I heard Erich already from the beginning doing some echo-testing.
Heard him all the time 449 to 549 signals. I received "O" + 339 report and
sent "r O".
I'm looking for more QSO's in the near future.
