Dr. Allen Katz K2UYH "Getting started with EME using a simple antenna and 50 watts!" - K2UYH simple way using K1JT's Software!
Al K2UYH has been a radio amateur since he was a teenager - with an interest in the UHF/microwave frequencies and Moonbounce. He completed the first WAC (Worked all Continents) above 144 MHz in 1976, on 432 the second WAS (Worked all States), and on 432 and 1296 the third DXCC (DX Century Club - working 100 or more countries). He has also completed WAC on 23 thru 3 cm. UHF.
Most hams think it takes a big antenna and high power to work EME. This presentation will change that impression by showing examples of how little it takes to make a QSO off the Moon. A single Yagi and 50 watts will get you started. It will start with a little history and then cover all important aspects of EME needed for success.

Awesome Video! Very useful information! As a college student I agree that EME is a great way to get the attention of new younger members!

Watched your video. Thank you. Encouraged me that I might be able to do it here. I'm limited with HOA community, so no big antennas but a 3-6ft dish, if I can lay it down when not in use should work. Most of my money will be put in cutting down some obnoxious trees in my yard! 73 de WA5ZVE

This was so informative for me. I've been wanting to this all my life. I was originally licensed in 77 as WB7U, , but unfortunate circumstances lead me to letting my license laps. This video was the impetus to start again. Thank You you so much!

Thank you, we appreciate your video tutorials and demonstrations as well.

I know this content is a bit old now, however; can someone explain the importance of GPS locking the radio? I assume they do it for frequency stability or is it to sync the digital signals?

@jamesacland1041 Perhaps this will help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ_GdqOvhJKsa9Esi=R_ZjORp2_HBbg7Al&t=18 The Commenter is a Professional whose compensated Specialty is GPS as affected by solar weather among other impactors. Enjoy. = )

Here's Dr. Joe (K1JT) specifically referencing FT8 & FT4 on EME (moon bounce) delay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIHHaK14aZWrmrs

Good spotting there!!!!

All I can say about this is your 86 minute presentation will most likely cost me money. Yep, this is gonna cost...
