SECTION 11

 

Gallery of EME QSO with Low ERP Stations
(Updated on August 18th, 2015)
 
This section is meant to demonstrate that Moonbounce / Earth-Moon-Earth communications are possible between relatively small stations (low ERP). The Newbee will quickly realize that a low ERP EME QSO is a totally different ball game, where the traces are often barely visible on the waterfall, and the ability to recognize them is absolutely critical. That is where the experience of the Moonbouncer comes into play. As an extreme example of the challenge described, I invite the reader to look at the EME QSO with Matt, K6EME. One can see that his traces were perfectly overlapped with an unstable birdy for almost the entire duration of the QSO!  
  
This section will be updated as new videos become available...
 
******WARNING: For Acceptable Resolution, it is absolutely critical to follow the steps below:******
1) Start the video.
2) Enable the Full Screen View.
3) At the bottom right of the screen (dented little wheel), click on "settings" and select "720p HD".
4) Wait a couple of seconds, and "Restart" the video from the beginning (will enable full resolution to kick in).
5) Enjoy...!

***WARNING: For Best Resolution, it is critical to select 720p HD resolution in the youtube "settings" at bottom right of the player. The 360p default setting won't yield good enough resolution to see the details. It will take several seconds before the High Resolution kicks in, so you will need to restart the video from the beginning when the High Resolution is active and select to view the video in "Full Screen Mode" for best experience...***
