EME Skeds & Resources

EME is a great fun available to quite a lot of stations equipped with a single yagi antennas and no elevation capabilities. Therefore we would like to encourage you to *THINK* about Moonbouncing and try JT65B EME QSO with us, should your station meet the following parameters ( medium Meteorscatter capable station ): In the favourable EME condx we should be able to make EME QSO and we would love to do it - QRP EME is both great challenge and fun for everyone. In case you still have doubts, please check the online resources listed below - with lots of useful practical information in the subject matter. And then do not hesitate to contact us for EME sked !

The smallest EME station worked to date:
WQ5S - antenna: 9el yagi, power: 50w ( yes, fifty watts ) - estimated EIRP: 1KW
RXed QSO line ( 9 May 2014 ): 215500 2 -25 2.0 266 3 * SP4K WQ5S DM82 0 10
Apparently massive Ground Gain phenomena at Moonrise in WQ5S location contributed to this 'on the edge' EME QSO.
