That’s awesome!
Did you connect with the Italy station before the EME to see if they could hear you, or did you just broadcast out into the void hoping for a listener somewhere else?
- nullc 2y agoThe latter! Then I got a signal report back online from I3MEK (who apparently has a fairly impressive looking quad antenna array: https://cdn-bio.qrz.com/k/i3mek/Dscn1593B.jpg https://cdn-bio.qrz.com/k/i3mek/Dscn1593B.jpg ). I've also been heard via the EME path from Texas. If I ever manage to squash my noise problem, I may bother trying to schedule some contacts as it's not unusual to do so for EME. But right now I don't want to waste people's time when I know that I'm deaf. (It's really obvious that I'm deaf too, because I can just rotate the antenna and watch the noise floor drop).
