To: [email protected]
Do to very little time to operate and changes in direction in my amateur
radio activities, I have decided to sell my 70 cm eme set up.
The equipment consists of 16 X 14 element 3.6 wave length rear mount
antenna's with open wire feed, Ham-M for polarity rotation mounted in a
Rohn 25 tower section, power divider and phasing lines, prop pitch motor
for azimuth rotation, 8938 amplifier built by W8YIO that has Eimac tube
socket and is operational with Variac Power supply on both high voltage and
filaments. Sell as package for $2000.
Will be at Dayton in a couple weeks, flea market spot 318, if some one
would like to get more information.

Subj: 3cm EME - European contest
Date: 5/6/01 6:56:59 AM Eastern Daylight Time

To: [email protected] (K1RQG Joe), [email protected] (K2UYH Allen KATZ)
Hi,
F6KSX was active during the second WE of the European contest on 3 cm EME. We worked :
The 28th of April : DL0EF 449 559 #25,OK1UWA M O #26, OK1KIR M O, W5LUA 549 539,
SM4DHN 549 539, WA7CJO 559 559, CT1DMK O O, (Heard DL2LAC O / (no answer) )
The 29th of April : HB9BHU O O #27, OH2AXH M O, LX1DB O O #28, (and DL2LAC with no answer)
The operators were : Roger F6ECX , Christian F6DLO, William F6DLA, Hervé F5HRY, Michel F4UPG,
David F1SXC, J-Jacques F1EHN.
Station : output power 50 W, loss < 1dB, dish 3.3m diam., 47.5 dBi, 0.8 dB NF, F1EHN Tracking System
Locator : JN18AR
All QSO are made on random activity (no sked).
The random activity was very poor during the Asian and European window and increased during the US
window in spite of the large number of European stations.
We regret the rules don't reward the random QSO on the microwave bands. This possibility should probably
improve the activity.
F6KSX is also QRV 23 cm but not active because we selected the 3cm activity.
So, we think it will be necessary to have 2 WE for the 23 cm bands and the upper bands (2.3 GHz and
above) to improve the activity in each band.

OK1KIR April 2001 EME report:
In the second part of the REF/DUBUS EME Contest:
1296 MHz : On 28 April at 0950 OE9XXI 569/559, 1554 DH9FAG 449/449,
1636 F2TU 549/559, 1641 G4CCH 559/559, 1717 DK0ZAB 449/449 for
initial # 186, 1935 HB9SV 569/559, 1941 SM3AKW 549/549, 1950 OZ4MM 569/559,
1954 K0YW 559/549, 2015 VE6TA O/O, 2021 F6CGJ 559/559, 2040 W2UHI 559/449,
2044 OZ6OL 549/559, 2050 DL1YMK 439/559 for initial # 187, 2101 W7BBM O/O
in sked for initial # 188, 2117 W7QK 439/439, 2128 LX1DB 579/569 and 2134
KA0Y 579/559. That's all. A while later our main H.T. three phases
transformer did throw a towel in the ring. We closed the job as we gonna
out of any transmitting from 70 cm up to 13 cm till we do repair a short
circuit discovered inside one of the transformer's windings. Bloody work
on that 80kg honey! We'll try to fix it asap but anyhow it will take
some time for sure.
On 1296 MHz hrd DH0AOH (CWNR), G3LQR, HA5SHF, HB9BBD, I0UGB, JA8IAD,
JF3HUC, K2DH, K2UYH, K4QI, OH2AXH, S59DCD and W7SZ. Nil hrd in skeds
with F1OAT, F1PYR and 9H1ES.
10368 MHz : Wkd on 28 April at 1255 DL0EF 449/439 for initial #15, 1330
OK1UWA O/O for initial #16 and DXCC 13 and 1410 F6KSX O/M. We heard HB9BHU,
SM4DHN and WA7CJO. We suffered from a problem in our transvertor during
Sunday, April 29 due to loosing gradually G/CS ratio and Moon noise as
well. The first RX stage PHEMT went slowly down to the total short circuit.
A new one was placed for it but too much time spent on the repair in total
and we lost all the skeds. When we recovered there was already nobody to
respond.
So, in the next SW on May 26/27 we limited to a full activity on 3 or
6 cm and we are looking for skeds. Wanted are OH2AXH, I5PPE, IK5WDJ,
DL2LAC, VE4MA, W6HD and WA6PY.
