PA3FXO's Ham Radio information

Welcome to the website of amateur radio station PA3FXO. Topics on this site are just put on the internet for people who want to know more about this fascinating hobby. My name is Cees J. Spierenburg and I live in Leiderdorp The Netherlands grid locator JO22GD. The site will be updated with some information about the build of my station for 144 MHz EME (Earth-Moon-Earth). This is the latest challenge in my hobby to make contacts via the moon. I am also active on 50 MHz and have recently replaced my simple dipole for a 4 element home made Yagi. See the "Yagi 50 Mhz" at the left side. QSO's (contacts) on 144 MHz are made with a 15 element Cue Dee up to QSO #24, then I made a 10 element DK7ZB design for the folowing QSO's. See "EME setup" and "Yagi 144 MHz" at the left for more info. Contacts made with 200 / 250 Watts are: PA3FXO EME 144 MHz contacts: QSO: Date: Station: Received Transmitted: Locator: Setup: Azimut: Elevation: Dgrd: 001 29-06-2008 KB8RQ -17 -21 EM79 24x13 x 195° 58° -3.3 002 29-06-2008 AO6VQ -15 -25 JM19 8x19 / QRO 234° 49° -3.4 003 01-07-2008 W5UN -24 000 EM23 32x32 x 274° 31° -4.2 004 06-07-2008 RK3FG -21 -22 KO86 4x15 / 1500 250° 24° -1.5 005 07-07-2008 RA6AX -10 000 KN95 unknown 236° 25° -2.2 006 28-08-2008 K5QE -20 -24 EM31 8x18 / 1500 251° 37° -1.3 007 30-08-2008 RX1AS -22 -28 KO59 4x20 / QRO 162° 45° -1.6 008 30-08-2008 RU1AA -20 -27 KP40 16x5 / QRO 166° 45° -1.4 009 21-09-2008 K9MRI -20 -24 EN70 8x28XP / 1500 215° 61° -4.0 010 10-10-2008 S52LM -27 -25 JN65 4x17 / 1500 156° 22° -3.9 011 16-10-2008 DL9MS -26 -25 JO54 4x14 / QRO 89° 28° -3.0 012 08-11-2008 ES6RQ -25 -22 KO28 8XP32 / QRO 172° 34° -2.8 013 08-11-2008 YU7AA -25 000 JN95 8x4WL / 1000 201° 33° -2.7 014 08-11-2008 OK1UGA -22 -23 JO80 4x17 / 1500 221° 27° -2.6 015 15-11-2008 RA6DA -24 -18 KN96 8x12 / 1000 82° 27° -3.3 016 08-12-2008 SM7GVF -27 -24 JO77 8x8 / 1000 176° 50° -2.6 017 08-12-2008 UA9YLU -27 -23 MO92 4x4WL / 1000 206° 48° -2.7 018 09-12-2008 EA2AGZ -24 -27 IN91 4x17 / QRO 142° 51° -3.2 019 10-12-2008 IT9CJC -23 -28 JM76 4x10 / 1500 118° 47° -2.8 - 13-12-2008 EA6VQ -22 -25 JM19 8x19 / QRO 86° 30° -2.8 020 04-01-2009 SP2OFW -23 -24 JO93 4x4WL / QRO 207° 46° -2.7 021 04-01-2009 W7GJ -22 -22 DN27 16x17 / QRO 243° 33° -3.2 022 10-01-2009 JM1WBB -26 -26 QM05 4XP32 / QRO 107° 43° -2.4 023 03-03-2009 DK3EE -23 -25 JO41 4x24H/ QRO 226° 58° -3.1 024 06-03-2009 ZS2GK -28 -27 KF47 4x9H/ QRO 181° 61° -2.5 - 25-04-2009 new - - - antenna - - - 025 02-05-2009 RU1AC -27 -26 KP50 4x16/ 800 214° 44° -1.4 026 03-05-2009 HB9Q -22 -29 JN47 4x19/ 1000 196° 41° -1.7 027 29-05-2009 OK1CU -27 -26 JO80 4x17/ 1500 145° 46° -0.9 028 29-05-2009 AA7A -25 -26 DM43 6x13/ 1500 248° 30° -1.2 029 29-05-2009 K6MYC -24 -22 DM07 4XP32/ 1000 253° 27° -1.2 030 20-06-2009 F6HVK -27 -26 JN27 4x17H/ 800 188° 61° -2.9 031 23-06-2009 IY1GMN -22 -26 JN33 4x14H/ 1000 226° 55° -2.8 032 23-06-2009 UA3PTW -26 -27 KO93 6x15/ 1000 243° 48° -2.8 033 26-07-2009 RU1AA* -22 -26 KO48* 16x5/ QRO 148° 25° -2.9 034 26-07-2009 IK1UWL -23 -24 JN33 4x14 / 1kW 160° 28° -3.0 035 21-08-2009 EB5EEO -24 -28 IM98 4x32 / QRO 160° 39° -1.2 036 21-08-2009 OH7PI -29 -26 KP42 4x16 / 1kW 165° 39° -1.2 037 22-08-2009 I2RV -23 -23 JN45 4x16 / 800 204° 30° -1.6 038 22-08-2009 DH3YAK -24 -26 JO31 4x12 / 800 209° 29° -1.6 039 18-09-2009 PA0JMV -23 -25 JO21 4x10 / 400 225° 26° -1.8 040 19-09-2009 DK3BU -25 -25 JO33 4x Xpol / 750 184° 30° -2.6 041 03-11-2009 SM5CFS -25 -27 JO99 4x19H / 1 kW 107° 42° -3.3 042 04-11-2009 ES5PC -26 -24 KO38 4x17 / QRO 84° 27° -3.4 mpeg of my 15 CueDee antenna in the storm on 21-11-2008 at force 10 about 120 km/hour.
