ACTIVITIES:

MOONBOUNCE:

SEE MORE DOWN, THE PERFORMANCE OF MY SETUP (CONTACTS INITIAL "EME" IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

Antennas and power: My main activity in EME is en 144 MHz ("H" and "V"), with a antenna Yagi of 3 WL, 160 watts; and less activity in 432 MHz ("H" and "V") with a antenna Yagi of 7 WL, 100 watts).

My station is small but has a good reception. Requires moderate conditions en Moonbounce; also correspondents with good antenna gain, and sensitivity of you receiver. Most (90%) of the QSOs in 144 MHz were performed with operators of 4 antennas Yagi and 1000 watts or setup superiors, y we have worked most of them.

Regret to report that I have no space for more antennas and several difficulties to increase power. Addition, with only one antenna Yagi of 3 wavelengths the increased power is not the solution. The result Is that more colleagues of 2 yagi can see me, But most of them, I do not see in my screen.

My report: For each QSO I will send my report (Screen SpecJT) and would appreciate your reciprocity.
The average signals in EME by SpecJT of JT65B:
RX: -21 dB
TX: -25 dB

Website of N0UK: Website of N0UK: With good condition, I find myself in website JT65 EME of N0UK, for answer calls CQ that I see on my monitor or compliance agreed sked.
