Subj: For the net
Date: 11/18/02 7:48:58 AM Eastern Standard Time

To all on the net:
I was saddened to hear of the death of Tay Howard, W6HD. We had worked on
10 GHz EME several years ago and maintained an email dialog on
TWTs. Although I never had an eyeball QSO with him, he was very much a
learned gentlemen and had my utmost respect. He will be missed.
Tried several different preamps on the 10 GHz system here over the
weekend. Having issues with low level out of band oscillations when
connecting the preamps to the waveguide transition, I think. Holding at
12 dB sun noise and 1 dB moon noise with my original configuration. Plan
to be on some next weekend although the apogee/perigee loss is over 1 dB.

Subj: Report EA8/LA8LF 23CM EME.

Hi All,
Well, what a disappointing week-end. I thought everybody QRV on 23CM EME
and which was not worked when I was QRV for 4 days back in Oct. 2000,
would be very anxious to work me this week-end. Maybe you all count on
working me in the last leg of the contest. Is that safe?? What if I got ill, or WX
not cooperating, or had equipment failure that would prevent my operation or
something else?
As reported 2 weeks ago, I will not be QRV again on 23CM EME after the
contest for some years, maybe never. I will bring my 40KG HPA with me
back to Norway on the 29th. of this month plus all the other 23CM gear.
Left will be the dish taken off the mast, the feed stored inside the house
as well as the tower.
Maybe I will try 13CM EME in the European EME contest next Spring, but
not for sure. It is a lot of work to install my dish, my tower and set up
the equipment only for 3 weeks stay and one Week-end of operation.
I would also like to enjoy the nice WX when it comes on! And, pay
attention to my wife who up to now, has been very cooperative and patient.
She do everything in this large house and in the large garden. It is time I
join in on that work. Besides my "pump" gives me problems every day
and night. When GOD created me, he put in some extra wires that
should not be there shortcircuiting the wireing making all 3 chambers pump
simultainiously. And you all know the result of that.
Only 2 new initials were worked last week-end, WA6PY and SM2CEW.
I understand that a few others heard me, but I had not a trace of them. I worked
all stations I could hear. Worked Saturday was G3CCH, G3LTF, ZS6AXT and OZ6OL.
On Sunday I worked G3LTF, SM2CEW, OZ6OL, K5GW, K0YW, K5GW, K5JL, N2IQ
and WA6PY.
OK, let us be optimistic and hope that Mr. Murphy stays away this coming
week-end and that all conditions will be favourable. Good luck to you all
in the contest.
Og yes, almost forgot to mention that my Internet providers both in Norway and
here on the Island gave up on me a week ago. I was able this morning to set up a new
Provider in Madrid, Spain. Therefore this e-mail report and some e-mails sent
induviduals today and a few sent from a friend during the week..
And, saw in a Net-news by Joe that somebody thought I was some way connected
to EA8FF. NO, I am not. He recides on the Island of Tenerife, I am on Lanzarote
and have had my place here since 1987 when I built it. Thanks to Peter, G3LTF
for clarifying that.

Subj: [Moon-Net] 1296mHz moon noise
Date: 11/19/02 10:31:58 AM Eastern Standard Time
From: [email protected]
Sender: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Does anyone in our fine group have data relating to the noise temperature of
the moon at 1296 mHz? I have found 11gHz data showing 195 to 235 degrees k,
varying with the phase of the moon but no idea how or if that relates to 1.3
gHz.
Thanks/73 de K5GW
