This was my first EME contest from my new QTH in Summerfield, North Carolina. This time I was joined by Dan, W9EQ, and we operated both weekends on 1296 MHz, CW only, with no assistance. We had a great time, and the equipment and the antenna worked flawlessly. As a bonus, we added nine initials, two new states and one new country to my list.
The equipment consisted of a homebrew software defined radio running PowerSDR, all homebrew 28/144 and 144/1296 transverters, and 2 water cooled GI7Bs, providing about 300 W at the feed of the 10' stressed dish.
