Episode 41 - 6M EME

The DX Mentor

This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio

Our guest today is David, KJ9I. You may have heard David on episode 31, all about 6 Meters. I received several excellent comments about that episode, and I am sure that this one will be just as popular!

I hope to get him to share the details of a 6M EME QSO that he was part of with a station in New Zealand…One watt and a dipole antenna via EME.

This discussion is somewhat dependent upon slides. There is quite a bit of useful information in the discussion, but the images, charts, etc. are also important. Because of that, we are releasing this episode in both podcast and Youtube formats at the same time.
