ARLA/CLUSTER: Novo recorde mundial via EME em 24 GHz

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

New world 24 GHz EME record

The distance of 17,405.6 kms is a new world record for moon bounce on
24 GHz, following a contact between Rex Moncur VK7MO and Charlie
Suckling G3WDG.

It was quite an achievement on March 5, with Rex VK7MO who located to
the height Mt Wellington near Hobart to minimise water vapour that
attenuates 24 GHz signal, and to take advantage of the Moon being
close to Earth.

The Moon had to be at low elevation which meant the signal had lots of
atmosphere to travel through.

The moon bouncers are pleased with the outcome, which again sees VK7
hold the world distance record.
