If you are a EME beginner, contact a mega-station; I suggest W5UN. He has something like 800 elements total in multi yagis, and polarizations. For beginners, unless you have been doing lots of weak signal tropo, that is your best bet for 1st EME contact. And for certain, get on the moon-net mail list. Good luck. ~Larry W7IN

The AMSAT board is not the best place for info about EME. Try Moon Net, register at http://mailman.pe1itr.com/mailman/listinfo/moon-net.

You can find info for EME beginners at: http://www.vhfdx.info/jt65bintro.html and http://www.n1bug.net/operate/emebasic.html

This is a good weekend for EME, but do not send at 145.00 and do not send PSK31. The correct mode is JT65B, and most stations will be between 144.10 and 144.16.

Is this a good time for EME comm. ? Moon seems right

for it , but never tried it . Is psk31 possible ? What freq. ? Orbitron says 145.000 ? Going to send cq throughout the day via PSK 31 on 145.000. Maybe a waste of time .
