Ron, that is great. I am sure I could learn a lot from what you have done.

> Hello - I wanted to share that the 144 mhz EME condx this weekend was really spectacular !! I finally have completed  QSOs now for Worked All Continents on 144mhz via single yagi EME .... I have been 'chasing' South America for quite sometime and have had multiple  "one-way" QSOs but no completion until yesterday .
> Stations worked on the single yagi yesterday were : HB0/DM1CG (JN47) ,OE3NFC (JN88) , AD4TJ (FM08) , K3JYD (FM09) , FW5JJ (AH16 + new DXCC) , K6MYC (DM07) , Z21EME (KG58 + new DXCC) , LU7FA (FF96 + new DXCC + WAC !! ) , YT1VP (JN94 ) , RX3A (KO95 ) .....
> These QSOs yesterday brings the EME total from the farm to 146 initial station QSOs , and 41 DXCC (last count and comparing call prefixes to ARRL DXCC list) and now WAC.
> I am looking forward to this coming EME contest weekend which is the first weekend for 144 -hoping for clear skies and mild winds !! The equipment used is : TS2000X , two stage KA0RYT preamp system , GS35 half-wave cavity amp @ 1500 watts , Antenna used is a single c.c 17b2 with a homebrew Balun (original unit burnt up ! I fabricated BALUN out of RG11/U  ) . I have been just using the audio in/out  from the accessory port on the TS2000X  and WSJT versions 6 or 9 , but now I have extracted a 12kc IF output and am running it through HDSDR  (to acquire a virtual I/Q ) and then into MAP65 . I am able to view and decode up to 10+kc of 2 meters JT65B (read : a new learning curve ). I might add , it appears that I have increased my rx sensitivity by acquiring the IF for JT65 software before Kenwood's DSP gets it ..... Your mileage may vary !! 73s , Ron Bergantzel KA0RYT - EN35ct
