Sebastian DG5CST, Roland DK4RC and Norbert DL4DTU plan from 18.6. 2023 to 24.06.2023 QRV from loc. JP90NH Market Reef with the call OJ0EME. As we knows, this rare country has never been presented on 23 cm EME!
“Finish SARL told Sebastian, that’s the first ever license they ever published for OJ0 and sadly it will be be the last!” – this is a quote from the expedition blog
The expedition’s equipment for 23 cm band is 3m dish and 150W SSPA.
It was easy QSO. They are answered me from the first my call.
So, new DXCC (#66) and a great fun!
The Team is also QRV on microwave bands: 13, 9, 6 and 3 cm.
The expedition page with a pictures and log is here.
I worked with OJ0EME one more time by my second callsign ES1RF on the last expedition day. It was just for the fun. And below is the final expedition’s result. I took this table from the expedition’s site for the analysis purposes:
Band Total QSO Init. CW QSO
144MHz
432 MHz 35 QSOs INITs 33 cw 1
1,296GHz 151 QSOs INITs 127 cw 15
2,3GHz 19 QSOs INITs 17 cw 4
3,4GHz 22 QSOs INITs 15 cw 9
5,7GHz 36 QSOs INITs 25 cw 13
10GHz 51 QSOs INITs 42 cw 10
24GHz 2 QSOs INITs 2 cw 1 SSB 1
47GHz 1 QSO INIT 1 SSB 1
Seems, they did not worked on 144 MHz. But the most popular EME band is 1296 MHz, next 10 GHz, and next 5,7 GHz.
