Předmět: [Moon-net] my first experience on EME from LU


Hello to everyone:
 A couple of month ago, helped by LU6KK i began to plan moon bouncing from
the north of Argentina, in 144 Mhz. From my province should be the first
moon contact ever made.
Finally, last weekend i finished a 12 elements yagi and beamed to the moon
expecting to listen any station in the world contest. The antenna design
choosed was DL6WU's optimized by VE7BQH.
The moon position moon wasn't good for LU's, but although saturday
night i
couldn't decodified any station, i had a better luck on Sunday morning.
With
just one 12 el. yagi i listened KB8RQ several times calling CQ DX. His
better signal was -28dB. on JT65B. My rig is a FTV-700 (transverter) and a
FT757 GX II.
As a newbie on this... it was really incredible to catch a signal direct
from the moon... so, in the short future, i hope to climb 4 yagis 12 elem.
each one with an "H" mast all made from plastic (completly insolated
from
the yagis boom and the supporting 6 meter's tower).
 73's
