Hey - so what are the payoffs for EME? I would like to hear from people who
have been active on EME during the contests - especially the June VHF contest.
I am considering shelling out the "big bucks" for a moderate two meter EME
array (something like 4x2M18XXXs or perhaps 8 smaller beams). Does this
net me 10 QSOs? 20 QSOs? 100 QSOs?
I am old fashioned and probably won't use any of them fancy digital modes,
at least to start with. I also wouldn't be setting up skeds ahead of time
as my HF contesting background just doesn't make that my first choice.
So - I would be relying on random QSOs - perhaps not even sticking to the
odd/even minute format (if I can get enough signal up there).
