European EME contest - 6 cm part. |
| This part of EU EME contest was again at time when Moon was close to Apogeum and relatively wide spread. Interference from WiFi cause problems up to elevation of 25°. Even thou Tonda were able to made 35 CW stations included three new initials. We also made 2 new JT initials out of contest. |

European EME contest - 13 cm part |
| We were active in 13 cm part of European EME contest during weekend 8th and 9th March. We used for the first time new transvertor with synthesizer board A32. It is more convenient compare to old provisional transverter. 54 CW QSOs including 8 new initials were done. Out of contest, we made two JT QSOs as new JT initials. We observed strong reflection of OK1KKD signal from aircraft, it was shown as bevel trace on SDR screen. The weather was nice for both days, it was apogee. All QSOs are in the logs. |

Another 10 Watt station on 24 GHz and new field on 23 cm |
|
We worked JT4F and CW with PA0BAT on 24 GHz. Gerard uses 10 W SSPA by DB6NT. Another JT initial on 23 cm was Victor UA9YLU from MO92, it is new field on this band. |

VK3NX on 24 GHz |
| We worked JT4F and CW with VK3NX on 24 GHz during ARRL contest. Charlie used new 10 W SSPA (DB6NT) and his 2.4 m center solid dish. Nice weather somehow compensates bad condition near Moon Apogee and big spread. VK3NX then worked G3WDG, it is new WR on 24 GHz with distance of 16883 km. |

QRV on 13 cm before ARRL contest |
| We made Benjamin EA3XU on 13 cm with his tropo 1.5 m dish and limited elevation for RS. He used 150 W SSPA. Later we made CW and SSB QSO with G4BAO - 1.9 m dish. |

We look for new initials in the ARRL contest |
| Tonda started on 70 cm where made only one initial, then on 23 cm 7 new JT initials and one CW. This includes two new DXCC, H44HP as the first OK-H4 QSO and OM1TF |
|

Expedition H44HP on 70 cm |
| Tonda made JT QSO with Herman as H44HP -25/-20 on 70 cm. Herman's signal was strongest on vertical polarization a he took us at -45 degree polarization. It is the first H4-OK QSO on 70 cm. |
|

New DXCC on 70 cm |
| JT QSO with LU8ENU on 70 cm was done, it is new DXCC. |

ARRL EME contest - microwave part |
| 3cm waveguide switch stopped work just after the first QSO. We decided to repair it and it took the whole first orbit. We made 19 QSOs on 3 cm during the second orbit. We were surprised when heard M+M expedition as MJ/DL1YMK, it was the first GJ-OK QSO on 3 cm. The second new initial was Mirek OK2AQ, it was his first JT QSO on 3 cm. |
