JT65 EME.

Will be operating EME in JT65 Mode once the antenna set for this purpose finished. There are 3 mode of JT65 and they are JT65A, B and C.

I will operate the JT65B for start.

Well EME is the operating mode which use the moon to act as a reflector to reflects back our signal to the other side of the earth. So the most suitable time to operate this mode is when the moon is at the earth horizon. The place where the moon starts to rise of just sets.

My ant setup will be stacking of the V and U antenna sits in the Yaesu G5500 Az/El Rotator.

More news will be coming up.
