Afterwards I invited the audience to try a live moon bounce QSO on 432 MHz from the parking lot outside. I had prepared some standard equipment of the kind, many might have in their shacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Transceiver Yaesu FT-897 <\/li><li>15-Element Yagi (YU7EF )<\/li><li>PA Gemini 70, ca. 200 W <\/li><li>LNA SHF-Elektronik, 0,8 dB NF <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"917\" src=\"https:\/\/dj5ar.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2019-09-29-12_DST-EME-Versuch.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dj5ar.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2019-09-29-12_DST-EME-Versuch.png 732w, https:\/\/dj5ar.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2019-09-29-12_DST-EME-Versuch-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/dj5ar.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2019-09-29-12_DST-EME-Versuch-624x782.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><figcaption>EME rig in the boot, Photo by courtesy of Klaus, DF6WN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately it was rainy outside, the moon close to the sun and a G2 solar storm in progress. When swithing on the transceiver, I noticed some quite massive local QRM.
