Hi Joe,
I just wanted to send you a little update on my progress .
In the International EME contest I worked 28 different stations with 17
multipliers giving me a claimed score of 47,600. This is an improvement
over my 1998 score so I am pleased. (I was not able to take part in the
1999 contest due to my move.) 13 of the stations worked were initial
contacts bringing my initials to score to 63. I am beginning to receive
QSL's from the contest and I wanted to let everyone know that I do try
to QSL 100% however it may be after the first of the year before I get
new cards with my new call and address on them.
I have been asked by a couple of EME'er about my Grid square, it is
FM08kf. My old Grid square was FM08jf. I only moved about 3 air miles
east so FM08 is still the same.
I have also been working on putting up my HF tower. Due to winter
weather I stopped after getting 63 feet of Rohn 55G up. At this time I
am planning to go up 103 feet of tower in the spring and summer of next
year. After Christmas I am planning to get a temporary 20 meter dipole
up so I can take part in the EME net.

Hi Joe,
I am behind schedule as usual. I hoped to have everything ready for this
evening's moonrise, but I am still fabricating. It is possible I might get
on for next moonrise (Sunday 0200 UTC). I am doing three things: (1)
Fabricating a new azimuth drive. (2) Fixing my elevation brake system
(solenoid burned out last time I tried to raise the dish). (3) Focus with
the jackscrew. If I finish getting everything fabricated tonight I should
be able to do all of the above in about 4-5 hours which is just what we now
have for daylight. Winds are predicted for later tonight, so it is
probably good that I am not ready. I plan to put a picure of my new AZ
drive on the web page tonight.
Tnx & 73

HI Joe,
So far so good although my small dish. I QSOd: W2UHI K2UYH KA0Y K0YW K5JL G4CCH. All on random. I will be QRV tomorow hoping for activity from Europe. I think I stay on random this weekend.
If there is interest I can put my 70 cm dual polarisation feed on this dish, I might be able to QSO few big guns. Then I can also put my 13 cm and 10 GHz rig.
I had virus atack on my PC. Just recovered without loosing to many data files. Norton Security did not protected me

Hi Joe,
Somewhat frustrating last night. I immediately had good results with
UA3PTW (549/559), but nil on all the other skeds. DL5LF had contacted
me by e-mail so I am reasonably sure he was on. Sometime after DL5LF's
sked I noticed that my echoes were very weak and could not be heard at
times. This is very unusual for my station. Everything seemed ok TX
wise. G3SEK, who I had worked on random earlier, and others were coming
through FB. I tried rotating my polarization to see if G3SEK would null
out, but observed no change. I went out to the dish and found that the
pol rotator was frozen in the horizontal position. This may explain my
poor results. I suspect it stuck at the worst possible position. I
will try to fix it later today after things warm up. I wonder if others
observed similar phenomena?
KJ7F emailed me. He could not make the sked time and we have moved our
sked to 0500 tonight (10 Dec).
Paul, N6TX was in the area to give a lecture on SETI at Princeton and
came by to visit. I wish I could have given him a better show.
I am available for reskeds after 0400 tonight and will check my e-mail.
I hope all is well at your end.
73, Al - K2UYH
