I have not made any changes to the station since my last report, and everything appears to be in good shape for the ARRL Contest next month.
I checked the calibration of my tracking system with the Sun, and measured Sun noise at 17.5db for a SF = 154
A great weekend with a high level of JA activity, but I was a little disappointed that most of the regular USA stations did not appear.
I made a total of 36 QSO's and added 7 Initials and 1 new country. This makes my totals to date - 121 Initials, 28 Countries, 6 Continents, 19 US States.
This weekend was also the ARI VII Italian
EME contest, my score in the contest was 402 points
