14 May at 1800z - my moonrise. Will answer CQ's until my EL is abt 20 deg at 2000z. Then will start calling CQ. Will be QRV for several hours.
15 May at 1900z - my moonrise. Will answer CQ's until EL is abt 20 deg at 2045z & then call CQ. Will be QRV until end of contest at 2400z.

WA6PY DM13LA
I will start on 14 May at 0200Z on both bands until my Moon set at about 0630Z.
My 13 cm operation will deteriorate for lower elevations due to the very high level of ISM band 2400 – 2484 MHz interference. I can still receive stronger signals with noise blanker. On 14 May my windows begins at 1830Z ( EL=6 deg) for 144 MHz and about one hour later for 13 cm I will be QRV again for JA window on 15 May from 0300Z On 15 May my window begins at 1930Z for 144 and one hour later on 13 cm. I will concentrate on 13 cm, but I will visit 144 MHz from time to time. GL in the contest, 73 Paul WA6PY – DM13LA "Paul Chominski" <pchominski@Jaalaa.com>

G3LTF IO91GG
I have about 60 W at the feed on 2320 and will be listening on 2304 and 2424at the same time. Look for me on 2320 at 16 MHz above your 2304 frequency, i.e if you call CQ on 2304.100 I will respond on 2320.100. I will try to do the same on 2424 but the 2424 rx uses a separate LO. The wx forecast does not look good with very strong winds from the East so I may not be able to operate at all or perhaps only when the dish is looking towards the west. I had hoped to have 200+ w from two MRF21120 cut out UMTS modules but they will not stay stable despite having only 10dB gain!

W5LUA EM13QC
Hello 13 cm ops
I will be operating in the Dubus 13 cm contest this weekend unless weather prohibits operation. Here is my plan.
May 14 0200Z to 0500Z looking towards JAs and NA. I will also be monitoring 2424.1 MHz +/- per JA4BLC's
earlier schedule
May 14 1800Z and on...I will also be monitoring 2320.1 MHz +/-
May 15 after 1900Z
If anyone is interested in a sked, please let me know otherwise I will see you on random.
GL in the contest. Hope to work a few new ones.
Just in case you are new to the band, most of the EME activity is from 2304.025 to 2304.100 MHz. This includes
NA and most of Europe.
The G's and GWs and some DL's will be on 2320.050 to 2320.1 MHz and working crossband.
The JAs will be transmitting on 2424.1 MHz +/- and listening for NA and Europe on 2304 and some 2320.
I am using a 5M Dish and 300 watts from a VA-802B Klystron which was first used by W3GKP to work W4HHK
for the first 13 cm EME QSO that took place in 1970. That was 35 years ago!

IW2FZR JN56BE
This evening I will be visiting IW2FZR. We will try some filters and other jazz on his 23cm gear. Therefore we would like to announce that we will be active on 23cm random as IW2FZR. Dario does not have internet at the station and I have to leave within one hour to drive to his home so, taking an Email-sked it sounds a bit of a problem. Still you can try either sending a message to me or to dario296@virgilio.it he may have more chances to read it. Or show up around calling freq. We shall be active from 1630 UTC, stop for a pizza a little later, and restart to stay on at least till 2200-2300 UTC. That's today 15 May. Beers and wine will be at the shack so we shall keep warm... 73s to all, Sergio IK2MMB Sergio [ik2mmb@email.it]
