ARRL EME Contest 2013

I was ready to participate on 144 and 432 MHz, CW and digital.
My main target during this Contest was testing and adjustment of my new 432 MHz Power Amplifier (GS35B). This PA was ready and firstly tested on 21 of October. As a result was replacement of a blower for more powerful and bigger capacity and new direction coupler. So, now I can measure RF power over 1 KW.

Let’s say, I was very satisfied of PA! With 65-70 watts input I’ve got over 800W RF output. It gives, I think, at least 700W RF on the antenna splitter. For TX line is used 16 meters of LDF4-50 coaxial cable (1/2″).
The 2nd leg of the Contest was almost spoiled because of weather conditions. Stormy wind, sometimes up to 30m/sec, forced to hold both antennas in a parking position.
Result: 39 QSO on both band.
Below is a LOG.
