QRP EME

摘要

The ever-improving state of the art in 2-meter EME has finally reached a point at which QRP stations, defined for this purpose as those having a single Yagi and less than 200 watts, can participate. So far, W2RS has had ten contacts with five different stations, using a single 32-19 Boomer and a Mirage B1016 solid-state amplifier. W5UN has worked single-Vagi stations having as little as SO watts. This paper analyzes my results to see if anything can be learned that might help more small stations to be successful, and also help larger stations to complete contacts with QRP'ers. Since there are many more small stations than large ones, the smaller the stations one is capable of working, the more DX it will be possible to add to one's totals.
