Unfortunately, I was only able to participate during the first weekend of the contest. On Saturday,
I had a good start by making 3 QSO's with my minimal set-up (10 Watt into a 90 cm off-set dish). On
Sunday however, I experienced problems with my pre-amp, making further QSO's impossible.

Anyway, I had fun and am looking forward to next year's contest, hopefully with more reliable
equipment.

This year I participated in the 2025 ARRL International EME Contest using my portable,
battery-powered 10 GHz EME system (photo attached). Even with a small setup consisting of a 0.9 m
dish and 27 W, and limited by the battery capacity, I managed to complete 40 QSOs, including a
couple of dupes. It was a thoroughly enjoyable pair of weekends in August and September.

Always fun to make new friends and revisit old ones on the moon. Always like to fly the flag for
VK7. Thanks to organisers and to all who came on. 73 Richard
