Friday 14th April 2006

After many sked's, Paul and I completed on my Moonset during a sked from 02:00z to 04:30z, it was 17 days since Perigee with the Moon at 396,892Kms from the Earth. Pauls best signal to me was his second period of RRR's at -26db, and my best to Paul was my final 73s at -25db.

The WX was a clear night sky with full bright Moon visible from my shack window.

Paul took the 1st period on 50:197, this is how the QSO unfolded, Paul's decodes of my signal's are in YELLOW, and my decodes of Paul's signal's in RED.          Our screen shots are also below.
