EME 2M. LOG FOR W7EME Portable, mainland USA. Starting Feb. 2009 :
A quick brief on who you're dealing with and what to expect: Station is trailer mounted, 2 each phased cc 17b2, one
pair in each sense, H and V. Rx system is average preamps, 0.4 dB nf and additional amplification fed to WSE
modules down conversion to Delta 44 sound card. Linrad feeding MAP65 for JT65b and Linrad for CW. I am still
learning the ability of this amazing stereo receiver, but it is working very well so far. Tx is legal limit via a w6po rack
mounted in a EGG Mound Technologies container (Sandia Labs, vibration proof gismo!). Power is Kubota 3 cylinder
Deisel 18 kW, quiet 1300 rpm type, nice. I will have email daily and skeds are welcome for CW qso attempts. I don't
use the Ping Jockey, but appreciate being spotted on the loggers, to drum up activity. I will announce Grid dates on
Moon-Net, but not much more. Please give me a try, IF you can see or hear my signal. I prefer 144.118 and will always
be found there when calling CQ. I am always 2nd. The only difference you will ever see from my signal on JT will be my
grid report, indicating where I am in that QSO attempt. If I hear CW on 144.118, I will go to that over the JT signals
present. CW operators, please use 1 min period for interrupt and I am always RX during even minutes. Good luck to all
working my small station, and I hope to move this thing all over the place...lower 48 and next fall see if someone wants
to grab it and take it up to zone 2 for w5un? But will look at that later in the year......73 w7eme

QSL:
PLEASE READ
Please don't call me if you're not decoding me! This just adds more wait time for everyone as I am
attempting to process all signals in each sequence. My ability to do this is experienced but I would prefer to
answer stations that can actually hear me and move through my pile up list more efficiently. ALSO, on a pile
up segment of data, JT appears to like too take side by side signals and convert them to shorthand
messages. I run with everything OFF to prevent this frustration. No deep search, no nothing except filters
available in the software for B/W. On many occasions I will send your call and RRR rather than RRR in
shorthand format. WATCH FOR THIS. Check your Tx period for the other traffic calling with you, if it is a half
dozen or more stations, come back in a bit, or watch for awhile, when it calms, jump in...it's not HF, I'll run
out of Hams before running out of time!
