Most have been resolved.. Please check the latest e-mails that I have added and check the

Hi Joe and All EME'rs
Returned home from hospital yesterday. Won't be climbing any towers for a little while! Frustrating looking at the 10M dish outside basically awaiting the feed system but will get back to it as soon as possible... believe me. Totally retired now and Bev and the "Vet" has ordered me not to leave the shack etc.. This can't last for long!
Thanks to all those that phoned called etc... I am extremely embarrassed by all the attention I have received. Thanks so much.
Note home e-mail address now [email protected]
"I will return "(to EME) soon.
Cheers
Doug (VK3UM)

Hey Joe
The report in the news letter is incorrect. Those stations listed were
stations called but not worked on 23 cm.
I have these 7 stations worked in Oct. F5PAU, VE1ALQ, KD4LT, K4QI,
VE6TA, HB9BBD, OE5JFL. Could only opp for a few hours due to high
winds, will be back on next weekend on 70, 23, 6 cm

Joe,
Could not hear the net until the end.
My netscape blew up (out of memory error) and I can't get my previous
messages. I have a couple skeds for Nov 21. 0300 and 0330, I think 0330 is
with HP3XUG, I am struggling to remember the other station.
I am open for more stateside skeds 0400 and on, just email me. I CAN get
new messages.
I will be on 144 next weekend from South Dakota. Back to Alaska next month.

Subj: 23cm-EME DJ5MN in contest!

To: [email protected]
Dear Joe, dear 23cm-EMEers,
DJ5MN will be QRV on 23cm during the November part of the EME-contest. Due
to trees and houses my moon-window is limited, so I can only be QRV as
follows:
27.NOV 0000 - 0640 UTC
2230 - 2359 UTC
28.NOV 0000 - 0740 UTC
2300 - 2359 UTC
I plan to call CQ with 1 minute periods and me transmitting the first period:
27.NOV 0000 - 0100 UTC on or around 1296.025 for JA and European stations
0530 - 0640 UTC on or around 1296.030 for W/VE and European stations
28.NOV 0000 - 0100 UTC on or around 1296.025 for JA and European stations
0700 - 0740 UTC on or around 1296.030 for W/VE and EUROPEAN stations
2300 - 2359 UTC on or around 1296.025 for "last chance QSOs"..hihi
I still miss a awful lot of stations in my log, which I easyly could work even
with my small setup. Guys, give it a try and listen for my signal.
For sure I will be carefully searching for your CQ as well....
Good luck for all in the EME-contest,
Bernhard DJ5MN

Hi Joe,
I wanted to pass along that I did not hear anything from 9H1ES on Sunday
night during the backup schedule either. I had good echos and worked two
new initials after sked time. I should be able to work Fortunato, but I
never hear him on skeds. I have heard him on random with the old 3M dish
but was unable to work him. Last night I worked I0UGB for my first Italian
station on 23CM EME (539/539) #73 and W1ZX (529/549) #74. Also worked in
November, prior to the second contest weekend, OZ6OL, W2UHI, and K5JL.
Please continue to sked me with 9H1ES when he is available - I sure would
like to work him sometime.
I completed 28/20 during the first weekend of the contest in October which
was a surprise because last year with the 3M dish I worked only 30/18 on
two weekends. I guess it is a result of the larger 4.5M dish and Darrell's
diagonal feed. As I replaced both at the same time I am not sure how to
distribute the credit. My average sun noise is 2.75dB more with the new
dish and feed than the average with the 3M dish and VE4MA feed. I think
this is nearly right, what do you think? Perhaps there is another .5dB to
gain somewhere.
Also I have added a visual tracking system which has helped very much with
the inaccuracies of the readback pot in the Az rotor on westerly headings.
So I guess I am good to the west, on clear nights anyway. Need to keep
working on this. A few days after the first contest weekend, very high
winds twisted the dish on its mounting and broke three mounting bracket
welds. When the storm was over, the new dish resembled an HF inverted V
with the dish looking at the ground on one side and the cantilever arm a
mirror image on the opposite side of the tower. With the help of my
son-in-law we built a wooden cradel and scaffold to support the dish in
place while we installed a new, more heavy duty mounting bracket and
cantilever arm. Major job for two people, but nice to have a son-in-law who
owns a welder and can weld! I have learned the hard way just how much sail
area there is on a mesh dish this big. Now to determine how to avoid having
it happen again.
Thanks again for keeping things coordinated on the net while having to
finish construction on the new house and move into it at the same time.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Hello Joe,
I am presently trying to come back on EME since a long time ! How are you ?
Are you still active on 20 meters ? I have installed an aerial for 20 m so
I will try to hear you ... at what time are you QRV ?
I will try to join Geert, PA3CSG, for the second part of the contest.
At home, I now have a concrete base installed. I start building a small
strong tower dedicated only to EME for a large dish and, after that, an
aerial will follow !
All the best to you and 73's QRO.
