ARLA/CLUSTER: Tony - EI8JK / Toshia - JA6AHB: 1º Contacto em 70cm via Rebote Lunar entre a Irlanda e o Japão

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

EI8JK works Japan on 70cms Moonbounce for an EI first

Working Japan on any band from Ireland is pretty good but what about doing
it on 432 MHz? That's exactly what *Tony EI8JK* did on Monday the 10th of
September 2018 when he worked *Toshia JA6AHB* by bouncing 70 cms signals
off the moon!

The pair have been trying to make the contact for several weeks with Tony
making small incremental improvements to his system to squeeze out every
fraction of a dB. In the end, they managed to complete the contact using
the JT65 mode on Monday morning during a 2-hour window to make it an EI-JA
first on the UHF band.

In terms of equipment, JA6AHB was using 500 watts into a 7 metre dish while
Tony was using 4 x 21 element yagis with a medium powered amplifier.

His antenna system is shown in the link below.
