My first full year of moon bounce has been to say the least interesting.
Firstly at the beginning of the year, during storm Dennis, the stub mast snapped resulting in the array hanging precariously by the bottom of the spid rotator on the remains of the stub. This resulted in me running for most of the year on a partial array due to not being able to have anyone fix the system due to Covid restrictions.
Secondly I have been having transceiver issues with the K3s and again due to Covid getting this resolved has been a long drawn out affair. In fact the rig has just been sent back to the dealer as it will no longer key the sequencer ho hum.
The new Gemini 2 1.2k amplifier has however worked faultlessly so there's something to be happy about.
So for 2020 I managed to work 62 unique stations, 15 DXCC and 36 squares.
The limiting factors to my system are now antenna size and there's nothing I can do about that other than move and that isn't going to happen and general noise level.
I did under stack the array when it went back up to see if it would help with the noise which it didn't so next year if I can find the people to do I may be able to gain a couple of dB back in gain.
Anyway tnxs to all those who I managed to work this year.
