======================================================================================
**** LOOKING FOR THE LUNAR CALENDAR FOR 2004. I NEED THE SKED WEEKEND DATES. ****
**** RULES FOR THE DUBUS/REF CONTEST ARE LISTED BELOW. NET NOTES ARE AT THE END ****
======================================================================================
======================================================================================
EUROPEAN WORLD-WIDE EME CONTEST 2004
Sponsored by DUBUS and REF
The EU WW EME contest is intended to encourage world-wide activity on moonbounce.
Multipliers are DXCC countries plus *** ALL W/VK/VE STATES ***. This gives equal
chances for stations from North America, Europe and Oceania. The rules reward random
QSOs, but do not penalize skeds on 2.3GHz or above. Winners (1 st places) receive free
subscriptions to DUBUS magazine!
1. Contest Dates & Bands:
First weekend: 432 MHz, 2.3 GHz to 5.7 GHz 06-07 MARCH 2004, 00- - 24UTC
Second weekend: 144 MHz, 1.3 GHz and 10 GHz 27-28 MARCH 2004, 00 - - 24 UTC
2. Sections and Awards:
QRP 144MHz <100kW EIRP 432MHz <400kW EIRP 1296MHz <600kW EIRP
>= 2300MHz no separate QRP/QRO categories
QRO On 144, 432 and 1296MHz, stations with EIRP equal to or greater than stated above.
PRO Non-amateur equipment or antenna. PRO stations will have scores listed separately.
There are no separate multi-operator classes. Multi-operator and QRO stations will be
highlighted in the general classifications. All QRP/QRO band winners and QRP/QRO multiband
winners will receive a year's free subscription to DUBUS magazine. In each band/section,
certificates will be sent to the top ten entries and to the highest-scoring station in
the southern hemisphere.
3. Contest Exchange: For a valid QSO, both stations must transmit and receive both callsigns+
TMO/RST + R. During a QSO, on any band, liaison by any other means (eg DXcluster, Internet,
tele-phone) is forbidden! There is no restriction on modes, but entrants must not cause
inter-mode QRM.
4. Logs: Logs must be separate for each band, and should be in normal "logbook" format.
Top line:
Your callsign, Band Each QSO: Date/time, Callsign, Report sent, Report received, Points,
Multiplier
Bottom line: Total points, Total multipliers, Total claimed score.
5. QSO Points: 100 points for each random QSO completed.
10 (ten) points for each sked QSO completed on 144/432/1296MHz.
100 points for each random or sked QSO completed on 2.3GHz or higher bands.
6. Multipliers: Each DXCC country (except W/VE/VK), or EACH INDIVIDUAL STATE worked in
W/VE/VK. Multipliers count only if worked by RANDOM (except on 2.3GHz or above). States
and prov-inces can be determined after the contest using recent Newsletters, on the Web
or in DUBUS.
7. Total Scores: Single band score = [Total of QSO points] * [Total of multipliers].
There will be one QRP winner and one QRO winner on each band.
Multiband score = [(Total sum of points on 144-1296MHz) +
(2 * total sum of points on 2.3GHz or above)] * [Total sum of multipliers on all bands]
There will be one QRP multiband winner and one QRO multiband winner. Multiband stations
will also be listed as an entry on each separate band worked, and can also win single-band
awards.
8. Contest Entries: Copy of the log for each band with details of points, multipliers and
total points.
The following information MUST also be included for each band:
1. Output power, transmit cable loss, antenna type and gain.
2. Category: QRO/QRP single/multi operator
3. Name(s) of all operators
4. Locator/State. Other info is welcome: Comments, conditions, locator, station details,
photographs, etc.
9. Sending Your Entry: Contest entries MUST be sent no later than 30 days after the end of the
second weekend (i.e. in the mail or e-mail by 30 APRIL 2004).
Mail address: Patrick Magnin, F6HYE, Marcorens, F-74140 BALLAISON, France
You can also e-mail your contest entry in ASCII format to: [email protected]
All email entries will be acknowledged within one week.

Subj: [Moon-net] 1296 system?
Date: 2/23/04 2:16:54 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: [email protected] (cris)
Sender: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Hello,
I'm thinking to build a minimum 1296MHz EME system to activate my
country (YO) in this band. I have a TS450 as a transceiver and I think
to bought a DB6NT XVRT from 23cm to 10m. As antenna I'm looking locally
for a TV-SAT 3m antenna and I'll try to build a feed horn for it. My big
problem(because is too expensive to my budget)it the PA. I've checked
DB6NT's options and for only 100W the price is high over my
possibilities. Is there any other options to achieve at lease 100W?
Also I'm wondering what is the cheap why to switch TX/RX at the antenna
side?
I'm a beginner in this band so any advice is more than welcome!

Subj: [Moon-net] FS : 70cm - EME - PA with YL1050
Date: 2/23/04 2:59:32 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: [email protected] (Jürgen Kaufer)
Sender: [email protected]
To: [email protected] (moon-net)
Because I give up 70cm EME,
i have my 70cm-PA with YL1050 for sale.
Foto 1 : http://www.qsl.net/dl8obu/Graphix/70cm-PAgross.jpg
Foto 2 : http://www.qsl.net/dl8obu/Graphix/70cm-PAcavity.jpg
PA is homebrew , modified OZ9ZI-design.
Flapper and output-coupling are tunable from the front.
The power-supply is inside the PA, a oversized 2.5kW transformer,
specially built for this PA-project at a professinal transformer-
factory.
Power-supply needs 230V /10 A (fuse should be 25A)
Output-Power is 1.2 KW +
needs about 50-60 W HF input for full output.
Input/Output is N-connector.
There are no HF-relais inside the PA.
(a transistor-driver-pa with 2xMRF238 and about 80W HF-output
can be bought for 250 Euro extra, if your driver-power is too weak,
but this Transistor-PA is not part of this offer ).
The PA is running since about 8 years on EME with
good activity, worked about 600 QSOs on EME, 90% random.
The tube is in very good condition.
You get a (nearly new) spare-tube extra (if you want).
The PA weights about 40-50 kg, No shipping possible !
The PA mustbe picked up here in Hannover !!!
Asking 1500 Euro for the PA ( including 1 (nearly new) spare YL1050 ! ).
Asking 250 Euro for the driver-PA with 2xMRF238 (about 80W HF)
If anyone is interested, please email me.

Subj: [Moon-net] Bird 43 slug damage
Date: 2/23/04 3:43:46 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: [email protected] (Stig Vestergaard)
Sender: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Hi there.
Can anybody help me with value of the load resistor, placed in a BIRD 43- 2500B slug??.
Few years ago I bought this surplus 2500B slug, but first now I need the slug and
found no reading. When checking the slug inside, found the load resistor completly
burned up, so no change for reading the color code.
Any help would be welcome
