DFCWi used for EME contact
October 12, 2007 by kb3ljm.
Last week we reported that 10GHz beacon GB3SCX was running an experimental mode, Dual Frequency CW with ident, or DFCWi.
The world’s first 10GHz EME contact using this mode has now been achieved. On 27 September, members of the Flight Refuelling Amateur Radio Society worked UK Microwave Group Chairman Brian, G4NNS, via DFCWi.
Conventional CW was used to make initial contact. The DFCWi experiment took place using PC generated tones fed via a mic to a 2m SSB radio connected to a 3cm transverter.
Both stations were using 12ft prime focus parabolic dish antennas, with 13W at G4RFR and 18W at G4NNS.
