1296 MHz Activity

 

My activity on 1296Mhz ....

After deciding to stop with active UHF contesting, I started to construct an EME station together with PA0JCA. The first station was constructed with our contest stuff and a manual driven 2m solid dish. After some initials ( VE3ONT!!!), we re-built a 6.3m dish to proceed. PA3AGS,PE1JBK and PE1BTV joined us. Unfortunately this dish never gave us the expected results on 23cm. Due to various circumstances we lost this QTH and consequently the dish.

March 2010: I'm QRV on this band. 

Over the long period of non activity, the setup of my own EME station has remarkable changed. With the new transceiver TS-2000X all cabling has changed. The final amplifier is running smooth with 100Watt RF output. The preamp will be changed into a G4DDK model.
