QRPP EME QSO OK1TEH - KB8RQ

KB8RQ EM79SV - 24x13el yagi - http://www.spasalon.com/kb8rq/

 

I worked Gary on 11th February 2005 on frequency 144.115 MHz in JT65b (wsjt 4.9.2) at 1433-1629 UTC. I used: FT847 + max 100W PA (MRF 141, photos of my PA are here) + 4m long cable + 4el OK1KRC yagi (gain 6.5dB). Gary has 24x13el Yagi + 8777 amplifier + also FT847. It was our about 6th test and my 4th eme qso (i wkd 3x RN6BN before - my eme log: http://www.qsl.net/ok1teh/eme_log.htm ). QRB is 7296km, my new ODX :-). My QTH is Prague, JO70FD. During our qso were vy bad weather, wind and rain with big qrn (abt S4 on S-meter), so i wasn't able to turn my antenna exactly to the Moon hi:-) More about my QRPP tests you can see at http://www.home.karneval.cz/00000104/eme.htm.

The strongest parts:
