Hello Lunatics,
Just uploaded latest version of the EME database.
I have now the possibility to add one's website to the database.
Besides I updated my salesdirectory.
PS: The 432Mhz kW SSPA is still available.

Hi folks I wonder I there is some software which would allow me to hear the
decoding signals
from WSJTX without messing with my receiver which is set up to RX & TX with
my sound card levels.
Thank you
Serge VE1KG
I would like to ask F5IWN and F5RRS for some other contact than the email
they sent me. Replies to their queries are being returned as undeliverable.
Alternatively, check your spam filter to see if the address is blocked.

Hi EME gang,
I would like to inform you that we are renewing full registration for the
conference and there are more necessary reports on our information website.
The payment gateway for GoPay will also be restored next week. Starting
Monday 23rd of May next week, we will keep you updated on any changes or
details as we are able to confirm with our service providers. We look
forward to seeing you there.

A very sad loss to the EME community. Sergey was always a big signal, good
to ensure the station is still working. Often speaker copy.
RIP Sergey.

Hi Barry,
I'm sorry, I didn't read carefully everything. OK, this is better, but still
there will be some random distribution who will operate what band in
particular day.
24 GHz should be during minimum of libration, even 10 GHz is sensitive to
spreading.
Operators from far north for example Mike KL6M depends on DEC, also VK,ZL
stations will suffer from high positive DEC.
Choosing optimal contest dates It is not an easy task to solve.

Hi Paul
You have missed something.....They have added a second weekend...so 5 bands
in 4 days...much better\

Hi All,
One contest weekend for operating on 5 different microwave bands is

HI Rick,
You are correct that it makes sense to have all bands in play for both
weekends.
We do need however to encourage those that are capable, to focus their
attention on specific bands on a particular day when possible, in order to
maximize QSO opportunities. This will allow "new" stations to anticipate
that there will be some activity on the band when they set up to operate.
This is the beauty of the Dubus contest weekends !

Can anyone point me in the direction of a Low Noise amplifier for 10GHz?
I need coaxial input and output.

Would it make sense to have all uW bands in play for both weekends, but with an informal agreement among EME uW capable ops to focus on certain bands for each weekend. That would allow stations who have only 2.3 or only 10G as an example to try and work stations on both weekends. As you can see from the activity reports, these are the two busiest uW bands. Although I no longer have uW capabilities, the uW station I did have was 2.3GHz and I was able to work many CW stations when I had the gear. Rick K1DS

I totally support that idea of restricting the bands on each weekend, but considering how few countries ( and stations) have 3.4, I would suggest 2.3, 3.4 and 5.7 for the first weekend, then 10 & 24 for the next.
OR maybe keeping 2.3, 3.4 and 5.7 for the first weekend, but having 5.7, 10 & 24 for the second weekend as not so many have 24 G
I used to find it very frustrating to get set up for the "wrong band" on a given day and missing all the activity, because I chose the wrong place to start

I am not so much concerned about the dates, but I would suggest we limit the number of bands. One weekend 2.3 and 3.4 and another 5.7 and 10, or some such combination.
Having an extra weekend does not increase contacts if the users are still scattered across different frequencies. The operators who spend the first weekend on 10 G and the second weekend on 2.3 G are going to miss all the operators who made the opposite choice. Users are going to pick the band where there are prospects of finding the most operators and still ignore the other bands.
But we are still talking about a small number of users. This is not going to some sort of HF sweepstakes.
It doesn’t really matter to me. I will probably be on three bands. I just don’t and can’t change bands in the middle of the weekend. To many connections to make and not enough time to tweak.

Good Morning everyone,
Judging from the responses to the community, it appears that we have consensus on the weekend of August 27/28 for the addition of a second Microwave weekend. Before we officially set this as the date, ARRL would still like to seek additional input. If there are any concerns regarding these dates, please let me know either here or at n1sfe(a)arrl.org<mailto:n1sfe@arrl.org>.
73,
-Paul Bourque ARRL Contest Program Manager

I agree with Peter. The 27/28th Aug is preferable, but either date is
acceptable.
This is good news...
Keep both weekends "all-bands 2.3GHz and up" to maximise the activity...

> The ARRL Contest Advisory Committee has approved, with blessing from the PSC, adding an additional weekend to the EME Contest- 2.3 GHz and Up. They proposed adding a weekend in the month preceding the first uW weekend of the existing contest, with consideration for the best conditions. Your suggestions over the past few years have had an impact. The staff at ARRL has requested feedback and comments from the EME operator community. Please put your comments on the reflector and I will forward them to appropriate ARRL staff. Thanks, Rick K1DS (I'm only the messenger!)
