Hi Joe,

thanks for prompt reply. So my station is composed by a 3.5 meters (about 12
feet) 0.50 f/d dish, a full size W2IMU feed, the tx'ing line is equipped
with a final stage TH308 tube; all is HB HM. For the sake of information I
can tell you that the PA can put out 600W but I operate it at around 520W to
keep grid current to a decent level; around 400w at feed.  Due to ridicolous
power limitations in Italy on this band (50w ERP Hi!) I'd ask you to put on
any public list only 'TH308' as out power or final stage. All hams will know
what's all about it. Just to avoid some headache. The rtx I normally use is
a FT847 but I am also looking into receiving with a good old R4C when I'll
find the 125Hz Cw filter.  So my name is Sergio last name Bergonti my grid
square is JN45PQ which is in very north Italy close to Milan. My home phone#
is +39 039 920 2938 good till 2000z  (young kids, mad wife...usual stuff) or
also cellphone at +39 335 617 4188.  Ok for skeds request, I'll do it thru
EBY as suggested.
Thank you very much,                                   ########

Dear Klaus,
You was right. We got nice SW in February with 6 new call signs on 432 and the
same amount on 1296 as well.
Great achievement having in mind we lost 4 skeds on 432 MHz on Saturday due to a
fatal error beaming 5..6 degrees off the moon for a few hours.
Besides some 3..4 dB of loss VK4AFL was there with O/O, hi.
We would like to continue in March SW. So we ask for a sked with :

OK1KIR

1296 MHz :    9H1ES, RW3BP, RW1AW, LU6DW, LU8EDR, WA9OUU, W7QX , W7SZ and W4AD.


Thank You very much !

Joe - Hi & hope all is well with you. Have had some good
recent contacts including new initials OK1KIR, DL7APU.
W7SZ,SM3AKW, DJ6MB, HB9SU & EA3DXU. In almost
every case the polarity rotator had a good workout in order
to complete the contact - I have found that down here the
Faraday shift has been almost a constant 45 - 60deg over
the last several weeks.
Will be on this w/end [Feb 19/20] during both the EU & US
windows.

 Regards & 73`s, Trevor, VK4AFL.

Hi Bert:

Disaster just struck!  We had several inches of wet snow, but I was over

confident and did not consider the weight of the snow in my dish.  The
weld holding the elevation control just snapped.

Fortunately I do not think anything else was damaged, but I can not
elevate my dish and thus can not be on for our sked.  I hope to be able
to fix the mount soon and will let you know when I can operate again.

Sorry for causing this problem.

Greetings Joe... Good conditions thru the week. On 70cm,
worked VK4AFL ( new continent) and KB8RQ for initials.
W1ZX was lone initial on 23cm but also worked W7QX,
N2IQU, K5JL (ssb/ssb) and OE9ERC (ssb/ssb). Plan to
reposition the 23cm dish this summer for earlier look at
the Euro window. Keep up the good work... CU in 2 weeks.
Aloha.... Larry  W7SZ

Hi Joe,

I'm listening to JA6AHB (439) on 432.014 at 2/19 1120z as I write this.  He
isn't hearing me.  W7CI wasn't hearing me earlier this evening, although he
was weak here.  I worked OK1KIR and LX1DB last weekend for two new ones.  I
plan to try to check into net, but with the solar flare, odds are against me.

Joe,

Ironic that I finally hear the net when you don't have a beam!  Its been
months since I have heard anything at all.  For anyone who hasn't seen it,
again, my webpage is:

        <http://www.customcpu.com/al7ob>

I am working on the foundation design, and also the feed support design.  I
will put updates on my page soon.  I may work on a diagonal feed for 1296
this week (unless somebody has an extra 1296 feed for a .45 that they would
part with reasonably).
