A great and memorable day


After more hard work a friend and I added two more 15 element antennas and an "H" frame to my EME (moon bounce) array. This morning was my first chance to be on the air with the new antennas. Twelve stations were contacted in Europe, Asia, & Africa believe it or not I even had a pile-up with three stations calling at the same time. The photo shows what a big antenna it takes to transmit and receive signals reflected from the moon, about 480,000 average miles round trip..... Jack WB9OTX
