Dear friends
Due to heavy QRL schedule we could not be active all the time with 2
stations.
Unfortunately we did not finish tuning of the new 432 feed. We obviously had
problems (only 300W output) and the result is disappointing. On 1296 the
result is okay, but we located more potential. 144 was the band with the
least activity-time. The result is okay.
  144: 84 QSOs 35 multis
  432: 49 QSOs 26 multis
1296: 48 QSOs 22 multis
All the stations worked are listed on our homepage (see below).
We will advice about our activity during the second leg a few days before
the contest! We hope to work as many of you as possible!
We still need South America on 432 and 1296! Any help is very welcome!

Hi Joe,

I started do dig the hole for the dish mount yesterday. I am supposed not 
to do this , as XYL told me priority is to work on the new house , but 
when she's away I can't resist! This is quite a hard work as we had no 
rain at all for a while here , so the ground is very hard!
I got a strong wind storm last month , I was working in the house when I 
saw my 3m dish ( 80kg) , flying about 1meter above the ground for a 
100meter distance ,and then crashed on the ground , apparently with no 
serious damages.
 So I had to drive big poles in the ground and to tie the dish , otherwise 
it could be damaged , as I get these wind storms quite often here.

Hello Joe,

this is to inform you, that DL0EF will be qrv on the weekend 10th and
11th of November from JO30IN on 10 GHz with 10m dish and around 20W.

On Saturday the 10th we will only catch the end of the moon window for
us from aprox. 10h00 UTC until 13h45 UTC due to logistic reasons and
travelling to the station.

On Sunday the 11th we will be surely qrv as from 7h00 UTC until the end
of the moon window around 14h00 UTC.

We have made so far one sked with PA3CSG on Sunday, 11th, 07h00 - 07h30
UTC on 10368.200.

This time we will try to work mostly random but any sked is of course
welcome.

Hi Joe,
Thanks e-mail.
I am only QRV from EA8/LA8LF on 23CM EME. I will be QRV on
13CM EME next spring with 100W at feed, maybe in the DUBUS
contest. I do have a complete 70CM EME station there as well with
4x38M2 antennas and my old N7ART AudreyII HPA at 1500W out.
However, I need to extend the fold over mast with another 6 feet
section to be able to elevate the 4 yagies. (We have as much as 86 deg.
of moon elevation at EA8). Therefore they are still stored fully 
assembled together with the H-frame inside the house.
Congratulations on your 23CM EME results.
