Today on my single M2 antenna, many times they are Q5. Their amp has made a
difference from yesterday when they were outputting only about 30 watts or so.
For those who want to hear them live from a real antenna (25 meter dish!),
check out this link:
http://websdr.camras.nl:8901/
Move the frequency slider to about 432.044 and they are 20dB over S9!
Maybe one day, maybe one day. Hmm, do I have enough room in my yard for a
25 meter dish?
Also, I hear them much better on RHCP. And I got my money's worth on my
receive preamp. Without the preamp I can't hear a thing.

I have for sale a Yaesu FT8900 quadband (10m/6m/2m/70cm)transceiver. It
does 50 watts on 10m, 6m and 2m FM and 35 watts on 70cm. It comes with the
box, manual, power cord, and mic. Works fine, and looks good other than a
small scuff on the top of the radio.
This radio does dual receive so it is perfect for full duplex on the FM
satellites.
I am am asking $320 shipped and can take paypal/check/MO.

I didn't hear them at all yesterday, but today they about RST 22 on
phone. Using KLM 435-18c and left hand polarization. SSB Elec mast
mounted amp. CW should be better.
It is interesting to watch/listen to the web cast:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kp4ao-eme
The sign on the op position says 350 watts today.

Briefly heard voice on 432.044.500 about 1920 when Moon was 24.5
deg.elevation; maybe the Moon traversed a sidelobe of my yagi? I
checked with KL7XJ who is also trying to hear Arecibo to see if he
might have been transmitting - he was not. No other 432 SSB stations
within 70-miles so that rules out QRM.

I'm copying them today. Was able to hear the SSB just barely above
noise, marginal copy. On CW, they're between 519 and 529 on my 7 element
WA5VJB cheap yagi and mast-mounted SSB electronics premp grafted onto my
2m EME array.
I was able to detect the signal yesterday using WSJT, but it wasn't
audible. Now I wish I had more power/antenna so I could get a QSO.

Thanks guys, had a blast. A brilliant Saturday evening.
Not enough antenna gain or power here to work you but hearing you over the
last two evenings has been very satisfying. Hope to listen again tomorrow.
Congratulations to all and to those that made it, I heard several UK
stations confirmed.
Best wishes and thank you to you all.

Subject: [Moon-net] Arecibo Update
Hello from Arecibo:
Update for today (Saturday) : we have diagnosed our amplifier problem and
are hard at work on repairs.? With any luck we should be good for 350-400
W today.? We have also located a power supply for a solid-state amp that
should be good for a bit more power, maybe 500 W.?
Keep your fingers crossed...? we *should* be 10-13 dB louder today.
Operating plans for today: SSB at first, then CW.? As before, we Tx on
432.045 and Rx on 432.050 - 432.060.?
If we exhaust the CW pileup we will go to JT65B.? In JT65B mode, KP4AO
will transmit first on 432.045.? Please call us between 432.045 and
432.049.? Expected QSO pattern will be like this:
1. CQ KP4AO FK68
2.??????????????????????????????? KP4AO
K1ABC FN42
3. K1ABC KP4AO FK68 OOO
4. ??????????????????????????????? RO
5. RRR
6.????????????????????????????? 73
(... tail-ender...)?????KP4AO G4XYZ IO83???????
7. G4XYZ?KP4AO FK68 OOO
... and so on.? We will not send 73s; please feel free to call us
following our "RRR" transmission, as G4XYZ did in the example above.
On Sunday we may work any mode, depending on available activity.? We will
certainly be on JT65B for at least half of our Sunday moon window.
Remember: please limit yourself to one QSO with us, regardless of mode.
73, Joe, K1JT?? ... for the KP4AO team

All,
I heard them about 1x2 QSB Tried to call a couple of times, however, I
just don't have enough antenna.. KLM 18C
My preamp is only the ICOM UHF - I think if I do deeper space stuff, I need
a better preamp and a lot more aluminum. Thanks for the education and
hopefully, you get a lot of QSO's for those that made it...

Hi all,
On a lark, I took my FT817 with ARR preamp and 8-el cheap yagi downstairs to
listen for KP4AO. They were about 349 on CW around 2000Z. Unbelievable, I
thought. I have tremendous noise of all manmade kinds here in Manhattan.
You can only imagine how loud the noise is. Still, KP4AO was in there
steadily for as long as I listened, about 15 minutes.. Another reason for
my surprise is that the FT817 has no CW filter. With a filter, I'm sure
they would have been Q5. Pointing the beam was not critical at all.
This all reminds me of W2RS's backyard EME article of some years ago. Are
you in there, Ray?
Anyone out there with a spare million watt amp?
73,
Tony, N2UN

Hi Bob, W7LRD
What polarization have you used on your 40 el cp ? RHCP or LHCP ? I am sure
that with LHCP it was a very consistant signal and with RHCP nothing was
heard.
Please confirm !

This was my experience with a KLM 435-40CX and no preamp into a
FT-736R. I had to energize the relay on the antenna in order to hear
them. I assume it's RHCP normally, and LHCP when the relay is energized.
I actually had better copy during the SSB portion than the CW, but am
not sure why that was.

Hi Mike-Yes the default is RHCP.? I found LHCP was necessary to hear
Arecibo, when switching to RHCP the signal disappeared.

This was my experience with a KLM 435-40CX and no preamp into a
FT-736R. ?I had to energize the relay on the antenna in order to hear
them. ?I assume it's RHCP normally, and LHCP when the relay is energized.
I actually had better copy during the SSB portion than the CW, but am
not sure why that was.

In response to my posting yesterday I received one suggestion to use a
Vista driver. It did not work.
What did work is the following:
I downloaded the following zip files from
http://www.dlpdesign.com/#Drivers .
http://www.dlpdesign.com/cdm20600certified.zip
http://www.dlpdesign.com/cdm20600dlp.zip
I installed the drivers in cdm20600certified.zip but although the driver
appeared to install, that was not sufficient.
I then installed the drivers in cdm20600dlp.zip. These are not certified
drivers. I ignored the warning. They work fine with SarPC32 so far.
