Dear friends
February 23/24 were again very windy at our QTH, up to 80 km/h. Activity
from Japan and Europe was very low.
We were QRV for the SSB EME contest an tried to defend our title of last
year. However we made less QSO's then in 2001. Never the less it was a lot
of fun!
We got a very interesting comment from Ken:
Hi, It is 1920 UTC and I am copying your CW CQ off the Moon now on 1296.019
MHz using a single 23 element Tonna modified for mounting a WD5AGO LNA 0.3
db NF right at the feed point. Great stuff this EME SWL usind "wet string"
antennas!

We also spent a couple hours on 432 working VK4AFL and JA6DZU (#176).
On 144 MHz we had a technical problem on the TX-side which we only could fix
February 26th. So no QSO's during the weekend. We are very happy to have
worked Wolfgang, 9Y4/DL5MAE, after fixing our problem for DXCC #121.
We plan to be QRV March 23rd for the 432 DUBUS contest. We will advice about
exact activity times on the moon-net and on www.hb9q.ch just before the
activity.
