ARI EME Trophy Contest - spring part |
| We participate during both orbits on 6 cm because JA station announced their activity on this band. The results is three new CW and four new JT initials. It was a nice look on SDR screen when 6 JA stations were calling CQ in 5 kHz distances. All our QSOs are in logs. |

Expedition KH6/KB7Q on 70cm. |
| After calling KH6/KB8Q for a long time, we finally got response from Gene (205600 1 -25 1.1 -237 2 # OK1KIR KH6/KB7Q OOO 0 10 ) at only 3deg Moon elevation ! Unfortunately, when responding, WSJT suddenly stucked on. Rebooting swallowed some time and Moon moved down below 2deg. Luckily there will be another chance on Feb15th. |

70 cm part of EU EME contest |
| We worked 21 station included 4 new initials during the first orbit from Saturday to Monday, similar to the last year. There were only few JT stations, probably because of the winter weather so we worked only 3 new JT initials. QSO was RW4HW was quite interesting, he cannot elevate his antenna. His signal appeared at 6 deg. elevation and he lost Moon at 1.2 deg. |

The last part of ARRL EME contest |
| We operated several new DXCC on CW and JT, added two new fields on 23 cm. All QSOs are in 70 cm and 23 cm logs. |

| Peter OZ1LPR starts operate on 6cm . We worked him CW though we was not able to detect Moon noise in wifi interference. |

Expedition PJ7/PE1L on 13 cm and the 47th US state on 70 cm |
| Start of operation of expedition PJ7/PE1L on 13 cm was delayed because of interference from hotel's wifi. We completed QSO after a long "fight", it is new DXCC for us. Than we QSY to 70 cm and worked expedition to Vermont N1VT. Several polarization changes were needed to work W5RZ from Arkansas, it is our 47th US state on 70 cm. Robert uses 2x 24 vertical yagi and 60 W output. We operate TX +45° and RX -45°. |

The seond orbit of 24 GHz Activity Weekend and TO2EME on 13 cm |
|
We operate CW on 24 GHz JA1WQF, JA4BLC, G3WDG, JA6CZD and LX1DB, Willi then on SSB as well. On JT4F PA0BAT. Very high number of participants and several new stations is a potential for additional future extension of operation on 24 GHz. We QSY to 13 cm in the night and operate on JT65 with OK1YK and TO2EME. We successfully call TO2EME on CW when their signal on JT reach -11 dB. |
|
October 25th 2015 |
The first orbit of 24 GHz activity weekend |
| We operate CW with VK3NX, OK1CA, F2CT #21, F4KJM, IK2RTI and W5LUA. On JT4F VK7MO, OZ1FF #31 and OK1CA. We were heard by DL7YC, PA0BAT and VE4MA and by totally new stations EA3HMJ, ES5PC, SM7FWZ and EB3FRN. The first group has some TX issues, the second group has just RX. Sun was 15.2 dB and Moon 3 dB. |

Expedition TO2EME on 70 and 23 cm. |
| We operate with expedition TO2EME on 70 cm after about one hour of waiting until birdie move from their frequency today in the night. Then after a while with Faraday rotation issue we we able to complete QSO. JT and CW QSO on 23 cm was easy for the first call on 23 cm where the signal is very strong. |
