EME - moonbounce

VE7SL has been busy again with moonbounce using 140W on 2m with JT65. Steve has a modest station and yet again shows that moonbounce, which used to be for a very few, is now possible for more stations.

It still needs careful optimisation and is never easy. Certainly it still remains beyond me. All credit to Steve.

Tnx Roger but I only wish it was 250W. I use a very old 2m brick at 140W. Had been contemplating building something bigger with a 4CX250 as I have several of them as well as the sockets but after hearing and working those two-Yagi stations, it has given me renewed hope that there are still plenty of stations left for me to work!

In the meantime I have downloaded all of your 'vlf' tagged blogs and am finding them most inspiring ... as I did with your lightwave blogs. I sense another project here. Your past experimental blogs are a true treasure-chest of hands-on information for those who take the time to go through them all ... I think I need to do a blog about your blogs as they display a wonderful example of what I consider to be real amateur radio ... 73 & take care

Steve, I have amended the blog post to say 140W, not 250W. Thank you for your kind comments!
