VE2ZAZ - EME Setup and Activity Log

VE2ZAZ
Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) 432MHz Setup and Activity Log
Grid Square location: FN25bk

I am looking forward to EME QSOs. Please contact me via email for a 432 MHz EME schedule.

My Radio setup is:

Rig:
Amp:
Preamp:
Antenna:
Feedline:
Feedline Splitter:
Rotor:
TR Sequencer:

TS-790A (modified for separate Tx and Rx lines)
AM-6155 converted to 432MHz (~350 W in CW, ~225W in JT65)
20dB Gain, < 0.3dB NF (ATF54143-based), home-made
4 x 13 element DK7ZB Yagi array (~20 dBd Gain), home-made
Andrew LDF4-50 Heliax (Tx), RG-214 (Rx)
4:1 Air dielectric round/square coaxial transformer, home-made
Hy-Gain Tailtwister (azimuth), Yaesu G-550 (elevation)
"At Last" Sequencer (VE2ZAZ)

On the right is the 4 x 13 element DK7ZB Yagi array (all home-made) I use for my EME contacts.

Here is a video of my first EME contact. This was with HB9Q.
