Hej,
Jag tänkte annonsera ut denna till er, om det är någon som vill prova på EME så är det ett bra tillfälle. Det går med en rätt så liten station att köra en station av den här kalibern. Det finns förstås fler och större statiner igång men den här är en bra att prova EME med. EME är vanebildande så tänk över det hela innan ni sätter igång, hi.

Hello to everyone in the EME community. This year, the ARRL January VHF Contest will be held the weekend of January 18th and 19th. We want to work as many EME stations on 2M, 222, and 432 as we can to increase our grid count. Please help us with this event by working us on JT65b or CW. Thank you very much.
We only have one moon pass this contest. It begins at 0830Z on Sunday, Jan 19th. We will have all three EME stations running and we would really love to work you. Our moonrise is a pretty decent local time in EU, so you won't have to get up at any horrible time to work us. We are making it easy on our EU friends this time.
The 2M EME station is 8 x 18 all H-pol with a full 1500W of output power and a tower mounted preamp. We can and do work smaller stations all the time, so give us a try. As usual, we will be operating 144.142MHz Second Sequence.
For Oceania stations, our moonset is 1900Z on Sunday. For the last few hours of our moon time, we will be looking specifically for US, JA, VK, and ZL stations, so if you are in Oceania, look for us an hour or two BEFORE our moonset. Check with us on the EME-1 page.
We will be watching the N0UK EME-1 reflector whenever the moon is up for us. The reflector is a wonderful resource, so feel free to use it liberally. The new ARRL rules allow us to make schedules on the EME-1 page, so don't be shy about chatting with us there. NOTE: NO contact information can be exchanged on the reflector.
We also have a good 432 EME station. Our 432 EME antenna is 16 x 28el M2 all H-pol. This antenna works very well. We have 650W output, so if you have anything on 432, look for us on 432.080MHz. IF Faraday is not bad, we have a good chance to work you. We will take the Second Sequence and we will call CQ whenever we can. If you can, please try to work us on 432. We have worked several single yagi stations recently, so give us a try.
Our new 222 EME antenna is now fully operational. I know that only Region 2 stations are allowed to use 222, but if you have something on 222, please try to work us. We will be operating on 222.085MHz, second sequence. Stations without elevation can work us on their rising moon(if west of us) or their setting moon(if east of us). The antenna is 8 x 222XP40s with full power. It is capable of working single yagis that have decent power. For instance, I have worked K1OR, K7ULS, and K7KQA-all single yagi stations. Use the EME-1 reflector to schedule with us if you have something that you think will work on 222. ASIDE: IF you are active on 222, please contact me directly, as we may be able to work you on meteor scatter.
Good luck to all in the contest and we hope to see you there. Thank you.
