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