European EME contest on 13 cm

The contest did not start well. After the first QSO with VK3NX we would like to call JJ1NNJ on 2400 MHz but our TX refused to work. After several hours of trying to rectify the fault we swap it for the older SSPA. Problem with Wifi interference is another matter. The newly completed 7-circuit filter for 2300-2320 MHz and the 5-circuit filter for 2400 MHz were not enough for interference. 41 QSOs were established. The new CW stations are DK4RC, SA6BUN, DB6NT, expedition HB9CRQ and F2CT # 181. The total result is 41x 36. Outside the contest we operate on JT65C as initials with HB9CRQ and DL1EMA # 76. On Sunday, we worked at 9 cm with the HB9CRQ expeditionon JT65C and CW.

European EME contest on 24 GHz

We dedicated Sunday's orbit to 24 GHz. 8 CW QSOs were made. The new stations are DB6NT with a 3.7m dish and 40W of power. Michael had a very nice signal. Next is S57NML # 30. The result is 8x8. Outside the contest on JT we made S57NML # 46. This is the first 24 GHz QSO between S5 and OK. This QSO was successful on several attempts this year. The problem with the QRA64D was that the TX transmitted about 1.5 kHz below the expected frequency and nothing was visible on the display. Only its transmission of 1 kHz to SDR revealed the problem. Andrej used a 1.8 m dish and an 18 W TWT. G4BAO decoded us -18 with QRA64D. He used a 1.1m offset dish and it was his first signal at 24 GHz. The noise of the Sun was 15 dB and the noise of the moon 2.6 dB in the clouds dropped to 2.4 dB.

European EME contest on 10 GHz

We spent the entire first orbit to 10 GHz. We managed to establish 31 CW QSOs. The new stations are OK2ULQ, IK0HWJ and OE5VRL # 135. We were not able to finish QSO with JA6XED due to a failure of our TX part in the 10450 MHz transverter. The result is 31x28. The noise of the Moon was 2.6 dB. Outside the contest we operate on JT with IK0EQJ. He used 85 cm dish and 20 W; it was his first 3 cm EME QSO, then G4BAO, IZ4BFA and VE6TA # 208.
