Italian EME contest
XI Italian ARI EME 2004 contest, results
Also the 11th EME contest is now history; its modes remain limited to CW& SSB, notwithstanding
the technical progress for which we must tankJoe K1JT we feel that operator ability must remain
the main resource. Thesituation is evolving, during the first Italian EME meetings it had
beenforecasted by Andrea IW5BHY (who had built his first DSP systems in1990/91) that in the near
future it would be possible to have a qso witha 16 element antenna and 100 W; in our last EME meeting
Pippo I0FTG hasshown the possibility of SSB qsos at low power levels. When the presentsituation
will have evolved giving new advanced possibilities but stillwith the operatorfs intelligence
as the key factor, and withoutassistance by Internet, we will be happy to add these new modes.
Atpresent some operators make inappropriate use of information exchangedvia the web.
On 11/12th September 2004 the propagation has been good for part of thetime in 144 MHz, very bad
due to polarization rotation in 432 MHz.
Partecipation is still penalized by the small number of US stations whotake part; fortunately all
the rest of the EME world takes active part tothe contest; Europe is now the world center of EME
activity and newstations are emerging.
Italian stations present in the contest were: I1ANP, I1AXE, IK1FJI,IK1SPR, IK1UWL, I2FAK, I2RV,
IK2DDR, IK2GRA, IK2FWR, IK2MMB, IK2RTI,IZ2DJP/p, IZ2FOB, I3DLI, I3EVK, IK3COJ, IK3MAC, IN3JJI, IK4WLV,
IQ4DF,IZ4BEH, I5PPE, I5WBE, IW5DHN,
