Z66EME GHz update 27.04.2018
by Daniel Gautschi, HB9CRQ
Hi ALL
On behalf of Hermann the following information:
Hermann was QRV 5760 on 26.4.2018. Unfortunately he had very strong QRM from
WLAN which didn't get better with high elevation. He tried for 6h but could
only work HB9Q with -28 report. He did see a few times some traces but too
weak to decode. His signal was quite good, so that was definitely not the
problem. He also had problems with the tracking-system which all of a sudden
started to move in other directions. He rebooted the system but the problem
came back after some time. And also his TRX started again to jump in
frequency. So at 21z he gave up. He is very sorry, but there was no way to
do better. Murphy was on sight again, unfortunately!
Due to the technical problems (he lost 23cm TRV and PA, damaged feed-support
of the dish, problems with tracking-system and TRX) Hermann decided to
cancel his 10 GHz activity and change his program as follows:
27.4. starting at his MR (about 8dgr) he will be QRV on 2320.100 1st JT65c
RXing on his echo. 2304 on request.
28.4. depending on the result on 13cm he may become QRV again on 3400. More
information in the afternoon of 28.4.
On 13cm he has the best chance to do many more QSOs. He had a very good
signal and was RXing well on this band a few days ago.
He sends his best regards and hopes to work many of you during the final 2
days!
