The only disappointment was on 13cm, shortly after our moonrise we got jammed by heavy QRM. Despite all efforts, we could not find the source of it. So, we lost a lot of moon-time and could not work several of the QRV stations. We apologize to all waiting to work us.<\/p>\n Many thanks to all supporters and all stations being QRV to work us. It was a great pleasure to be QRV from Sardinia for all of you.<\/p>\n QSL policy:<\/strong> QSL only direct including SAE to: Daniel Gautschi, Sonnhangstrasse 31, CH-6205 Eich<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are happy to announce, after a longer break, our next microwave Q-team DXpedition. Little Q is tested and ready to be packed. Also, DL2NUD, Hermann and DJ4TC, Peter did successfully activate Sardinia in September 2014 (1296 and 23xx) and EA8DBM, Alex in August 2024 (1296), we thought it might be still worthwhile, to go there again. Since they have worked many stations on 1296, we will be focusing on 23xx, 5760 and 10xxx MHz.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll travel by car using the ferry to Sardinia and stay there for 20 days, doing some sightseeing\/vacation and of course EME on 1296, 23xx, 5760 and 10xxx. Sorry, but 3400 MHz is not allocated to amateur radio in IS0.<\/p>\n Team members will be again Sam HB9COG, Dan HB9CRQ and Sue Dan\u2019s YL. Our QTH is a nice little house on the very south of the island in JM48jv, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Since our QTH is located on a bay we expect some 10\u00b0 to max 20\u00b0 elevation on MR and MS due to the mountains and some trees (we will only know exactly once we are there). But in anyway, we should have good enough take-off to work all continents.<\/p>\n 29. May (Thursday) 1296.120 Q65-60C IS0\/HB9COG 1st CFOM, 08.00z until 19.45z<\/strong><\/p>\n 30.
