Hello Al, Joe
Sorry to hear about your dish, Joe - very bad luck, and just when it was
going so well!
I haven't been very active, feeling quite discouraged by the new houses
being built out back, very close to the antennas. That's goodbye to my
moonrise window. On 6 October I worked VK3UM in a very small window that
was left before the last houses were built - the VK window is completely
blocked now.
When people are living in the houses there may be serious RFI from
432MHz operations, because the antennas are only 30ft away from the
houses. The medium-term strategy is to take down the 12-yagi array for
432, and move up to 1296 with a 10ft dish. The long-term strategy is to
relocate.
On 12 October I had a hip replacement operation, so no EME contest for
me! Rehab is going very well - best walking DX so far is 1 mile, and
improving every day. I did get on the moon on 10 November and worked
about 25 stations on 432, starting at 0700. Condx seemed highly unstable
with big swings in Faraday. Most of the time the best polarization for
Eu was dead wrong for NA and vice-versa, and always some way from
horizontal.
I'll be going to a microwave meet on 11 November, so will not be QRV. By
the December SW the new neighbors should be in, so we'll see how it
goes!
Contrary to the information in the last NL, the two ARRL contest
weekends *were* chosen for lowest sky noise, because this is a priority
for 144MHz users. Sky noise doesn't matter so much on 432 and above, and
our own sked weekends (one week before the contest weekends) were better
in other ways. Both sets of weekends were the right choices... but for
different purposes.
The DUBUS/REF contest weekends for 2002 will be:
23-24 MARCH 2002 432MHz, 2.3GHz to 5.7GHz
20-21 APRIL 2002 144MHz, 1.3GHz and 10GHz
Full details and rules are at www.dubus.org

hello Joe
I am tired but ok.
Wkd 61x29 this weekend on 23cm, initials were: F/G8MBI #171; GM4ISM #172;
F5FEN #173.
It seems to become a custom to once in a while change the callsign. DK0ZAB,
DL4MUP just to mention two. I am happy to read that nobody of the EME
community was apparently interested in ON5OF's idea to change his prefix to
OQ5. All these fancy calls are no initials according the rules which we all
agree when we count initials. The only effect of these changes of calls is
confusion and disorder in the list of initials.
The contest here was just happening on this weekend which I now regret a
little bit. On the other hand I spent the first leg in southern France which
paid off as well!!
regards
HB9BBD

Do you quys know what a qsl-generator is?
visit the new webpage of HB9BBD at http://www.hb9bbd.ch
You simply enter your callsign (initial qso with me after Nov.27 1999) and
you get your individual qsl on the screen and if you like, on your printer.
You'l find the todays contest log on the site.
have a look and visit new http://hb9bbd.ch!

Hi Al and Joe,
Here is my report for the second part of the contest.
I ended 34x16, but had a limited time to operate in
both parts. I think I can reach over 40 QSO in the
ARRL contest, even if I have a house blockage during
the JA window. I was also rather sick during the second
part, my ears seemed to refuse to listen to the weak signals !
Sri to those who called me : W4OP the first day (but
wkd on the second) with a strange fuzzy tone, DF4??V and ON5RR
with traces only.
Vy 73's de Herve F5HRY
NB : Tnx Al for QSO, sri Joe for the problems on your
mount, I wish I had work you during the first part !! I will
attend the OK conference with my wife.

Hi Joe,
sorry about your dish problem, hope you can be back in DUBUS/REF contest maybe,
hopefully on 432 as well?
Was late for the net, had to change the tires from my wifes car, winter tires
now!
worked 82x30 in ARRL, didn´t substrate the dups now. I believe SP6OPN and SP6JLW
are count as one qso?? And what about Dirk, ON5OF and his special call OQ5OF??,
wkd him with both calls, but I think thats the same ?????
Burned on sat the preamp, and worked with the backup preamp JA9BOH, with a
single 12el.!! My smallest station till now. Condx seemed normal to bad, and
activity shoud have been better. Seems to be a better result then last year, but
missed several stations, like last year. But anyway IT WAS FUN!
Need grid and qsl info from JA6DZI, any help???

From: [email protected] (Howard Ling)
To: [email protected] (Moon Net - Message Posting (E-mail))
ARRL EME Contest 2001 - Second Leg
Activity was high and but finding those illusive last few stations became
increasingly difficult as the weekend progressed. The odd unworked callsign
popped up every now and again only to work someone else then disappear.
Very frustrating at times but I guess that's what contesting is all about.
We all keep coming back for more!!
Finding a clear frequency to call and not be so far away from the normal
operating frequencies that no one would ever find you was a problem. Some
stations did spread out, but most drifted back down below 1296.030 due to
lack of response. QRM from big guns that placed themselves just hf of
wherever I was was also very annoying.
Having said all that, I think I had a successful weekend and ended up with
a respectable score.
Many thanks to all the stations that turned out to make it a busy and fun
event with a few nice surprises too.
Here's the log:
10 November
0305 JA8IAD dup, DL4MUP dup, PA3DZL, HB9BBD, G3LQR, DL1YMK, GM4ISM for
initial #163, W4OP in EM85 for initial #164, OK1KIR, DF4PV, WA6PY, W7BBM,
VE4MA, W1ZX, DK0ZAB and K5GW.
11 November
0325 VK5MC, JA8ERE, ON5RR, F5AQC, DJ9YW, W4AD, K9BCT, N2IQ, VE6NA dup, and
KD4LT
Gotaways this weekend were - F5FEN, DJ3MY, W1QC
Final score - 77x34 (I need to check this after a little sleep!!)
Does anyone have any info on DO6ME, DH5RZ, DJ3MY and F5FEN. Also, I am
looking for the grid square for Z25JJ to complete my log for a QSO way back
in 1983... can anyone help out?

Joe,
Had a good time with the contest. Everything seemed to work well
except for conditions which were not as good this weekend as last. I will
say that DL9KR seemed to overcome them quite well. Truly armchair copy.
This weekend I worked
OZ4MM-539/539
HB9Q-439/539 (his moonset)
DJ5NV-O/O
DL9KR-589/569
K2UYH-559/559
K5GW-559/559
Also heard K4EME, K1FO,KU4F,W7CI, all with good signals, but not
as good as last weekend.
