Moon bounce from Antarctica<br>
<br>
The exploits of Craig Hayhow VK0JJJ in bouncing radio signals off the<br>
moon from Mawson has been written about in the Australian Antarctic<br>
Division science newsletter.<br>
<br>
Craig VK0JJJ achieved a 742,000 km hop when he made an EME contact<br>
with Peter Taylor G8BCG at Cornwall in England, on May 4, at 0720 UTC.<br>
<br>
Two nights later he contacted via 'moon bounce' Bo Nilsson SM7FJE in<br>
Sweden. He said it seemed now like everybody in Europe and the USA<br>
wanted an EME contact.<br>
<br>
Now that the equipment and software has been proven a success, more<br>
EME contacts will be made.<br>
<br>
The newsletter hailed it as a first from an Australian Antarctic station.<br>
<br>
Craig VK0JJJ said, "The technical challenges are immense, but with<br>
modern high speed computers and sophisticated software, it has become<br>
a lot easier in recent years."<br>
<br>
During his recreation period he is also on the HF bands, and causes<br>
pile-ups as the unique callsign is much sought after.<br>
