[EW4M]

Размещаю на форуме письмо от Николая UX0FF, известного своими достижениями не только на КВ, но и на УКВ:
GE!
Думаю всем будет интересно почитать как сейчас обстоят дела на УКВ .
Это статистика сугубо EME VHF/UHF DX-pedition 6W/PE1L.
Мне удалось с ними сработать только на 144 и 432 мс . Но несколько человек
сработали на всех 4-х диапазонах! В конце ссылка на их сайт. Много интересного ...

73! de UX0FF

Smashing!
This was our best ever DXpedition. We shattered all records, some statistics:
144 MHz: 455 inits, 58 DXCC, world record (was 361)
432 MHz: 25 inits, 13 DXCC
1296 MHz: 27 inits, 15 DXCC
2320 MHz: 7 inits, 6 DXCC
On four bands 514 unique inits EME only, an absolute (world)record,
never made a DXpedition more than 372 inits (2011 C56EME) in total on
VHF/UHF moonbounce...
Last days we looked each other often in disbelief. What was going on?
Is this real?
And we also had a big thrill with Tropo on both 144 MHz and 432 MHz
resulting in a fantastic DX over 2840 km with CU3EQ on both bands (on
432 MHz this DX comes in top five IARU Region 1 DX records). We also
tested with FM8DY (4707 km), pings were heard on both sides, we sadly
could not complete, but it was a serious attempt.
We look back with satisfaction. And yes we did celebrate.
Eltje celebrates his birthday today! Hooray! Hooray! An extra reason
to enjoy our success with a lot of fish, onions and a bottle of
Pastis. Cheers. Even the maids surprised him with something delicious.
Yummy!

A warm thank you to all who called us, our sponsors and Atletico supportteam.
Two stations made it on all four bands: OK1KIR and HB9Q. Chapeau!

Several did ask us what kind of equipment we are using.
Success has two sides, good operating practice and well balanced
equipment including plenty spare parts (in total 184 kilograms):
TX Yaesu ft-857d with TCXO
RX IQ+ by HB9DRI
Preamps WA2ODO / M2inc
Antenna: 2 x 8 elem. I0JXX
Antenna Control System DRIACS-G3 by HB9DRI
Good EME power by ITALAB
Excellent cables, couplers, sequenser, ALC control and filters
Different custom made software for DXpedition

And yes: Atleticoteam already has concrete plans to surprise you again
somewhere from Africa! Any time, any place, anywhere...
Nous reviendrons a l'Afrique !
