[hpsdr] Another Milestone?

[K1rqg at aol.com]

On Jan 04/2009 @ 0425z, WW2R and K1RQG completed an easy contact on 432.017  
MHz EME.
We were both using HPSDR Mercury (V2.2)/Penelope as our 28 MHz IF systems.  
Signals were 
549 at K1RQG QTH and 559 at WW2R. I am in Maine (K1RQG) and Dave  (WW2R) is 
in Texas. 
 
Dave used the Display to zero in on the moon as he had lost his calibration  
during cable repairs
earlier in the day. Once he peaked on my signal using PowerSDR, it was easy  
QSO. 48k 
sampling helped me out as I could look at a relatively small frequency  range 
and pick Dave's
signal out with ease. Normally you would think a wide frequency range would  
be the best, but 
not when you are looking for the weak ones!
 
I also have five other EME contacts today using HPSDR to include an SSB  
contact with WA4NJP.
 
The other neat thing tonight was that Dave and I later met on 75 meters on  
SSB running the 
HPSDR board set (also worked Dale, WA8SRA earlier).
 
73 es again, thanks to all!
