If you are a EME beginner, contact a mega-station; I suggest W5UN. He
has something like 800 elements total in multi yagis, and
polarizations. For beginners, unless you have been doing lots of weak
signal tropo, that is your best bet for 1st EME contact. And for
certain, get on the moon-net
The AMSAT board is not the best place for info about EME. Try Moon Net,
register at http://mailman.pe1itr.com/mailman/listinfo/moon-net.
You can find info for EME beginners at:

and

This is a good weekend for EME, b
Jerry,
If you're JT65 capable, monitor http://www.chris.org/cgi-bin/jt65emeA to find
out who's transmitting where.
I can copy the big guns with my meager setup.

JT65B is what is commonly used on both 2 meters and 432 MHz, however many
stations use CW as well. In the microwave bands, with a large station, SSB is
possible.
Search for the WSJT program and I'm sure you will find lots of information.
The frequency range commonly used is the lower portion
145.000 is not a good choice of frequency. It is a repeater input frequency.
