NEWS by HB9Q, dated 2017-08-28:

Last week we did test all bands, 23, 13, 9, 6 and 3cm on the moon. The
results are good as expected. Now we are working on some optimization and
packaging.

We plan to be QRV as follows:
14. October MR to MS 1296
15. October MR to MS 23xx (we can TRX on all sub-bands, so no cross-band
needed, depending of course on the QRM situation)
16. October MR to MS 3400 (VK sub-band should be OK)
17. October MR to MS 5760
18. October MR to MS 10xxx (we can TRX on 368 and 450, no cross-band
needed)
19./20./21. October we will be QRV on the bands where there is the most
need, this will be decided during the operation.

We can QSY between the bands in less than 30 minutes, so we hope to
accommodate all (most) requests during those 3 days. Of course it is the
best to try to work us during the band-days but in case you miss us
you’ll have a good chance for a second shot!
We hope to have internet available to optimize our operation schedule.
On 1296, 23xx and 3400 we will use JT65c. If there is time and the signals
are strong enough we will do some CW. On 5760 and 10xxx we will use QRA64D
which has proven to perform better than JT4. If the signals are strong
enough we will try to do some CW. WSJT-X 1.8 rc2 should be available soon.
I strongly recommend to use it, including Doppler-Control. It has so many
advantages compared to WSJT 10. The Constant Frequency On Moon (CFOM)
Doppler tracking mode is absolutely great, it is so easy to use and all
stations can see/hear each other!

Because ZS was never activated on 6 and 3cm EME we will become QRV as
follows:
22. October a few hours before MS on 5760
23. October MR to MS 5760
24. October MR to MS 10xxx (we can TRX on 368 and 450, no cross-band
needed)
We will be QRV as ZS6EME from Pretoria. Modes and procedure same as in
3DA0MB.

More information when available.

Hi All

This first activty day we had to fight many problems. 10c, dense fog and
strong drizzle did not make it easier for us

Running 4 EME stations simultaniously from one shack with all the antennas
in a limited area is a real challange The powerfuse was triggered every now
and then and we lost power for a few minutes having to restart the systems.
Being close to the 4 antennas challanged our PCs which made the clocks and
the samplerate dance, and the RF equipment did not really appreciate the
high energy levels either.

I am very sorry, but on 1296 we had to QRT after about 2h due to a
tx-problem. Unfortunately it took long to find the faulty part. but after
many hours of search and testing we found it and with a nice team effort we
could fix it. So we were back in business for 2h before moonset. In this 4h
we worked 24 stations.
Our mr and ms is at about 8 to 15dgr. Today we had very high noise on 1296
from about 15 during before ms. We could see several stations calling us
but decoding was not possible sorry.

We will do a second day of operation on 23cm. The stations who missed us
please send us your availability for Oct. 19, 20 and 21. We then will
select the day with the most stations available and inform you here.

Oct. 15th we will be QRV 13cm as planned. Please look for us on 2320.100
3DA0MB 1st JT65c, we listen on our echo (please make sure your echo is not
more then plus min 700Hz off our echo, or we will not see you, sorry.
Depending on WIFI QRM we can do on demand 2400 at mr and 2304 at moonset,
both no crossband needed. Please look for us on the logger sorry, internet
is not always available here.

144, 432 and 50 Mhz are also QRV Oct. 15 during the full moonpath.

We will do our best to work as many of you as possible
