2011 ARRL International EME Contest

12/05/2011 | N2UO

Another great couple of weekends working Moonbounce! Dan, W9EQ, joined me again for the 1296 MHz CW only multiop effort running 400 W into the 20' dish. All the equipment (transceiver, transverters, amplifier) as well as the antenna are homemade. We were very lucky that the weather cooperated and we had no strong winds both weekends. The equipment worked flawlessly again this year.

The activity during the first weekend was excellent from Europe, with a fair North American presence. The Asian window was rather poor with only one VK and one JA, although we operated down to 5 degrees. However, the second weekend was much better to the west and we managed to work several VKs and JAs.

We look forward to next year's event!

73, Marc
