The latest 70cm, 23cm, 13cm, 9cm & 6cm EME
activity from G4CCH
14th September 2015
Quick update
Hyperlinks on callsigns are to audio clips of signals
(will add more clips later)
I haven't been so active this year so far. This was partly because I damaged my
dish in late January, and it took a couple of months to repair.
Its still a little bit out of shape, and will require more work to get it back
to how I want it.
Unfortunately, time is running out this year, and I think that will be project for next year, along with improving my feed mounting arrangements to enable easier band changes and better housings for feed mounted equipment.
I still found time for some EME activity, just not as much as I would have liked... but radio isn't everything..!!
I was active for the 23cm Dubus contest, but none of the higher bands, and also missed the activity periods for 13, 9 and 6cm - in fact no activity at all on these bands this year.
My last activity on 6cm in August 2014 resulted in losing my TX driver stage, and although repairs have been made, I need to do more work to prove that I have fixed the reason for its failure.
Here's a quick update of my activity for this year to
date:
I will fill in some of the gaps later
Last activity was in January, then I broke the dish..!!

Took 2 months to make repairs...
Its still a little bit out of shape, and will require more work to get it back
to how I want it.
First activity after making repairs - looks like it still
works, at least on 23cm
