ARRL EME Contest report - SP7DCS Hi, I am happy to post my tiny ARRL EME Contest report. Being rather inactive recently, I had a great pleasure to be back on bands again (CW of course). During first weekend I was qrv on both 2m and 70cm. Unfortunately I was not able to complete any qsos on 2m and I gave up after hours of cqing with huge echos. On second weekend I was testing my new feed mounted 23cm setup. Currently it gets around 250W only out of planned 500W but it was good enough to make a number of qsos. Setup is not perfect yet and I lost Saturday's JA window due to technical problems,) Anyway as usual 23cm was a lot of fun!

It seems it's almost 35 years since EME bug got me - and still is there! Please visit "Technical corner" and "Anniversaries" tab on my web page (http://sp7dcs.pzk.pl/) to see pictures from celebration meeting at my qth as well as new EME trophies gallery at my home,) Do hope to be a bit more active next year! See you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year VY 73 !!! de Chris SP7DCS New 23cm setup 2018 http://sp7dcs.pzk.pl/tech.html |
