First ever QSO between DL and PA on MMwave bands On 28-7-2022 Michael DB6NT and PA0EHG made several first ever contacts on the MMwave bands
From the Eemshaven in the Netherlands to Pilsumer Tower close to Emden over a distance of 16 km we made the following contacts We started at 12.44 LT on 76 GHz to allign the antenna's This was not a first contact At 12.54LT we made the first ever QSO on 122 GHz in CW At 13.02 LT we made the first ever QSO on 134 GHz in CW At 13.13 LT we made the first ever QSO on 241 GHz in CW
DB6NT in JO33MM60CH
PA0EHG in JO33JL70TX
Exchanged reports on all band both ways 599, signals were
extreme loud using the high power CW transmitters. After the QSO's we tried a green light in the dish at Eemshaven
Looking through the telescope
Zoomed in at the telescope picture
I also was able to find the Pilsumer tower using my Photo camera with a 2000mm lens
A few hours later we made also the first ever contacts between PA and PA on these bands over a very small distance of 1.2 km. On 122 GHz the first PA to PA had been made before by PE1CKK and PE1JPD At 16.10 LT we made the first PA to PA on 134 GHz in CW At 16.16 LT we made the first PA to PA on 241 GHz in SSB
Look at the Youtube movie we made from this experiment More information on this is available in this story Michael and I made from this experiment:
