If
your 2 meter station outputs 100 watts or more to a good 10 element or
largerYagi antenna, and your receiver front end has reasonably low
noise, you should be able to work W5UN and many other of the
larger stations via 2 meter moonbounce. The best way for very
small stations to make EME QSO's is to use
WSJT's JT65B
digital mode (freeware from K1JT) on 2 meters. Many stations are using
that mode to make contacts via the moon today. Take a look at the N0UK EME
Logger to see who is currently active and on the
air right now. MoonBrat (freeware by W5UN)
will show you where your moon direction is and where to aim your
antenna. Skymoon
(shareware) can help you determine the best operating dates &
times, plus moon spacial conditions.
Email W5UN if you wish to
arrange a 2 meter eme schedule, Newbies to eme are welcomed.
