Hi Joe,
Will be tonight again on 23 cm, hope activity will be better,
otherwise going rather to sleep , again, hi.
Looking especially for new initials, sure we can make it without skeds
!
F1PYR I suppose has no preamp ? Even stronger stations cannot get hold
of him. He should not excite us, hi.
Heavy rain here, over 50mm in last 24 hours. Fortunately no wind.
CU, 73, Ivo

F1PYR /JN19
TH347 (1KW+) /3m dish/DB6NT preamp.
Dish feed with 3db coupler for circular polarisation , feed is not yet
optimised to the dish F/D.....
André knows something is really wrong on the receiver and is working on it

Dear Joe,
yesterday during the sked with WA1JOF a completely unexpected
thunderstorm hit my location and I hardly could keep my dish
directed to the moon. I heard my echo weak but could not hear
JOF at all. Due to black thick dangerous clouds my own echos
were down at least by 6 dB, sometimes I even could not hear my echos
at all. I would like to re-sked with JOF next weekend. I will send a proposal
to you as I do not have JOF's email.
I will be available next weekend only in the night between
16th and 17th December (UTC date).
I also have to send my excuses to KA0Y. At the time I had sked with
him the storm was up to more than 70 mph and I could not move it out of the
survive position of 90 degrees elevation. I am happy that my dish survived
at all. I need to resked with him as well which I will try in direct email.
Several people were hurt in my area during the storm, trees were broken and
my 70cm-EME-antennas were completely destroyed !!!
I will re-build it next year in spring.
Seasons greetings,
Bernhard DJ5MN

Hi Joe, hi moonbouncers,
I have just worked F1PYR on 23cm-EME-random with good signals.
Now I wonder if anybody has info on this on.
Additionally I am still looking for QSL cards from some of the
big guns on 23cm waiting now for more than a year. Perhaps there can
be some time found at Christmas to fill the cards and drop them into
the mail to me? Many thanks in advance!

Hi Terry,
Tnx for the QSO. I read your frequency about 2 KHz low. You were on
about the same frequency as last time.
I believe I heard you respond to my echoes test on what I believe to be
040 just before the sked.
At the start of the sked, I heard you immediately and responded such
that my echoes feel approx. on the the same frequency as I heard you.
This time my pol rotator was working, but I did not need it. I
responded initially at the same pol (my initial Horz. setting) as I
heard you, and did not start playing with pol until I knew we had a
QSO. You peaked about +45 deg from Horz. When I sent you reports (559)
I was rotating +/- 90 degs.
I shall be looking for you on random.

HI Joe.
I have not been able in the last to be at the EME net, but if possible listen to the net. Reason, I make TVI around here, so I keep low profile, hi. I was on 1296 this morning and found only few stations. Worked WA6PY as initial #179 with fb signal, W7GBI(nice to work ´Charlie agn) and G3LTF on SSB. I listen also on 432 and heard only HB9Q calling CQ. I have in last minute tried to set up 2 skeds for 2304 for tommorow morning with DF9QX and OK1UWA, but it is not confirmed yet. I expect to be on 1296 too again sunday morning.
If any interested, I am open for skeds at 432, 1296 and 2304MHz.
Thanks in advance, best wishes

Dear Joe,
thank you so much for all your help with arranging skeds with WA1JOF.
I heard JOF in 2 skeds and sent "O" but QSO did not complete!
What kind of equipment is he using? 3m dish and 100 W, I think?
Please arange another sked with him during the January 2001 SW.
Many thanks in advance!
See you in the net on 14345 !
