Hello Joe - tnx for the continuing good work. Re these "EME" loggers: since this topic was 
discussed at the conference I thought I would try a couple of them out to see if I could get
more contacts [432 MHz] but I am now of the opinion that they should be called "Lonely Hearts 
loggers" since they mainly comprise trivial chat to keep in touch with the next guy that 
also has nobody to talk to. It was mentioned at the conference that there are already 
sufficient mechanisms in place to stimulate & organise activity & I think that further 
loggers or even the existing ones are unnecessary for anyone with serious intentions.
Worked Ruediger DL9JY with an excellent 4 yagi signal this morning for his first EME contact 
& it is great to have a new station around.
Regards to all, 73`s, Trevor, VK4AFL.

Subj: K9SLQ Testimonial for 432 & above net

JOE

I know you realize I appreciate what the net has done for me but I  want to post a testimonial 
so to speak with regard to 432 & above and the omission of the 432 & above net from a conference 
that I wanted to attend but could not because a business conflict.  So I guess I can not say 
much but I will in Germany.  I am sorry for the insult cast on you and the history of the 432 
& above net. 

In retrospect it is clear to me that if it were not for the 432 & above net I would have been 
lucky to complete more than 20 contacts on 432 when I began.  Sorry to say but I have been 
forced to abandon 432 due to Interference from a local hospital but in the record book will go 
65 initial contacts to faithful 432 operators. 

Thanks goes to the  skeds arranged by none other than K1RQG and his net. So you see the net 
remains helpful even to the seasoned EME veteran. If I could begin again I would “ Check-in ”  
even with nothing to offer or not ready to operate EME.  I realize now that a strong showing 
of EME interest is important and simple check-in shows that.  You may ask why didn’t you 
check-in today then?  Sorry I forgot it was Saturday.

I also offer my thanks to Moon-net and it’s service.

Now that I am ready to operate 1296 EME I’m back on the net looking for help to get the word 
out K9SLQ is available for skeds anytime,  you name it.  

I would like to take this opportunity to suggest to those who read this on moon-net that they 
take time to reflect,  dust off the old HF rig and check-in with the 14.345, 432 & above net 
the next Sat or Sun you have a chance,  even if it is only with a TNX and No Traffic.  

Thanks for your service Joe

Joe,
I was on for a short time calling cq but heard nothing but my echos.  
Will be on in the contest though.  The birch trees up here are starting 
to drop their leaves and so will be able to hit lower declinations this 
winter.  Anyway catch you later.

I worked OH6NVQ on 2304 MHz last night for initial #56.
Then spent the rest of the time listening for AD6FP and RW3BP on 47 GHz but conditions did 
not seem very good. I think we are going to try again tonite.

K0YW:   lots of activity on moon.. all is working well.. was on 1100z looking for W9IIX..
        ran out of moon with NA4N, but heard him well. worked W7BBM and K9SLQ.. 1296.01528
        been on moon with NA4N, but no joy.. tracking off on elev for NA4N.. K0YW will
        be on at 1130z on 9/6 .. also with W9IIX & NA4N.. so there will be some activity on
        Labor Day.. Snow on the mountain peaks in distance.. winter on its way.. 

WE9D:   needs a little space for emergency traffic.. moved net up to 14.3455 mhz..

W2UHI:  out of moon in the trees at this time.. 10:17 AM 9/5/04 .. putting an FO-12 together
        and needs special connectors for 8214 .. did not get up in time to get on moon..
        trees are a problem to the West.. Frank will get up early and get on MOON on Monday
        morning and hopes to see some USA stations on. [Labor Day] .. tracking the sun
        precisely.. s/n 17.4 ,, cs/gnd 6db.. 71deg K !!! all systems goes.. 

K9SEM:  VARO.. 

K7XQ/M: on way to hamfest.. presently moving to a new location. QRT on EME, but will have
        room for amtennas.. and hopes to have antennas up for contest.. 

K9SLQ:  good time this morning... 

NA4N:   lot of stations on.. but not good results.. 

VE4MA:  was up all night listening on 47ghz on EME .. was listening for AD5FP.. but nil
        heard.. also did not hear RW3BP.. Segei was hearing own echoes though ... still
        working on p/s for TWT.. also working on SDR-1000.. likes the receive on SDR..
        
K5JL:   was not on moon.. 

K9BCT/M: no major dammage.. FT Lauderdale.. lost some tree limbs and roof shingles.. storm
        passed a bit North.. only lost power for about 1.5 hours.. all is well in S FL ..

        were worked on 23cm.. suggestion by HB9BBD of one moon pass is not real feasible
        as at high declination SM2CEW would have moon for 48 hours continuous which would
        be unfair ?????? !!!!!!! 

SM4IVE: just in from cutting grass.. says SM2CEW needs 48 hours to overcome his handicap.
        The proposal by HB9BBD is not feasible.. this is to be fun..
