CHINA

 

I was QRV from China between May 19 and June 1. I was one operator at B4R during CW WPX Contest. Additionally I operated as DL3OCH/BY4RRR in CW from a club station in Nanjing.

An absolutely highlight was our 23cm EME activity under BY4RSA. Michael/BD5RV helped me a lot to make this activity successful. Unfortunately we were QRV only on 23cm. The other bands will be activated soon as well.

finally QRV

We could do 14 EME QSOs with this 1.8m dish. Four of them were in CW. The following stations can be happy to have worked China on 23cm:

In JT65C: PA3CSG, HB9Q, G4CCH, OE9ERC, OK1KIR, ES6RQ, ES5PC, W5LUA and DJ9YW.

In CW: HB9Q, OZ4MM, F2TU and OE9ERC

I want to thank everybody who has helped that this activity becomes successful. I met great friends over there and it was my pleasure to bring EME to China. Special thank goes to Michael BD5RV! He will lead the further EME activities in Nanjing. Please contact him if you have any questions, suggestions or if you wish a sked.
