The first amateur radio station on the moon, JS1YMG, is now transmitting

 

GB2RS Extract – Feb 2024:

“…………….. The first amateur radio station on the moon, JS1YMG, is now transmitting. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA, landed its Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon on the 19th of January 2024. The JAXA Ham Radio Club, JQ1ZVI secured the JS1YMG callsign and has been transmitting Morse code on 437.41MHz since the 19th of January. The probe uses 1W to a UHF antenna, with circular polarisation, and is transmitting what is described as “matters related to amateur business.” Radio amateurs have been busy analysing JS1YMG‘s signal. You can read more about this story on Daniel Estévez, EA4GPZ’s blog at destevez.net …………………”

Julian GM7MTK ‘Dishes’ Out The Contacts On HF

Hello Jack

I saw your post about the quorum numbers for the AGM.  I have to give my apologies. Eileen and I have been in the USA for a month so far and are not back until 20th May.

Unfortunately, not getting much chance to play radio but I did get to use the HF Discone at the Titan Missile Museum.

April 2022 – Julian GM7MTK Operating

Here’s a picture Eileen took of me at the Titan Missile Museum HF discone.  I was only using 10w. Conditions weren’t great, but I did get about 8 QSOs all in continental USA with the best DX being Florida.
