I was not asble to run the net on Saturday 10/28/00. We now have a large hole for

Hi joe,
FOR ALL:
The contest was due to badly circumstances a run against the time.
The new mechanic parts were not ready so I put up so old 8x11wl 9BV with coax.
Klaus DL4EBY joint the contest and helped on Friday to put up all stuff. We were
ready 1 hour after contest start. The new PA gave us 750W at feed and the new
preamp with 0.28dB seemed to work. Most of the time we could copy the echoes
good, on sunday morning at the US window most of the stations copied better on
the 4x21el vertical (extra rx array!).
The secound night we found conditions better, but activity was very low for some
hours, especially on Saturday. (maybe all on 23?!?!)
We missed some stations, but with an improved system we hope to catch you all
next month.
We ended up with 37x20 in the first leg , not bad and room for more ...

Joe, Worked DL9KR, OZ4MM, OH2PO. Sunday morning started well (0230Z) with many stations heard but much QRM with many stations on top of each other, over a narrow area. Made it difficult for Ron (GM4ILS) and myself with such a QRP station. however, we both had a good weekend with much learned and repaired. Eventually all worked well with normal O/P power, but from 0630Z the band went very quiet. Faraday perhaps????? We tested my system with my beacon but all well...... No sign of many of the big guns we were looking out for, OE9ERC, OE5JFL etc. Will report later on but expect to be QRV in Nov on 23cm from home.
Plans going well, look out for Large multi Op station from GM next Oct / Nov. Myself GM0ONN, GM4ILS Ron, GM4TXX Jim, GM4ISM Mark and GM3WOJ Chris. It's a long way off but we have much renewed interest all around. 70cm planned, but 23cm also a possibility.
Catch you guys later, Iain.

I am now QRV from EA8 on 1296 MHz. EME. Unfortunately I could not make it for the ARRL contest. Worked 10 stations on Tuesday, 12 stations on Wednesday and 2 stations on Thursday before the sun got up and gave me problems. Too close moon to sun. Smallest station reported to hear me was PA3DZL with his tiny 2.5M dish. I will be QRV again on Sunday from 09:30 to 17:30Z. No skeds! Will be on 1296.015 MHz. Log and details at www.qsl.net/la8lf
Dish goes down for storage on Monday and will not be up untill DUBUS contest in the Spring.
