YJ0RS "part 2" EME information   :   30 Sep until 10 Oct 2025

Frequency to be determined when on site (subject to local QRN, birdies, etc)
Q65-60A mode with YJ0RS TX even/1st at 1500Hz.   'Q65 Pileup' QSO format will be used to speed up EME QSOs
The Internet there is completely overloaded in the evenings, so ON4KST EME Chat updates may be erratic

Moon Rise (MR) is partially obstructed until 05 October, see the table below for further information
Moon Set (MS) is through trees until 05 Oct. After that, overlooking the lagoon to the west and perfect for EME with EU
If the ionosphere is quiet, EME operation could be for more than the 2 hours scheduled at MR and MS

Here is what the 7 element Yagi could do over 'good' ground towards moon rise, and over 'sea water' towards moon set ...
