-By the next night I had replaced the pre-amplifier with the lower noise one, and proceeded to work a total of 65 unique stations in my first week of operation with my compromised system. For the next period of operation I had replaced the dish feed with my Septum Feed and slowly increased my power to 300W or so. By June 2025 I had worked 181 unique stations off the moon (known as initials), in all continents, in 138 grids, and in 42 DXCC entities. I have worked 20 US states.

-WSJT-X incorporates an Echo mode which transmits short pulses and detects the echo, and I can usually see returns of around -19dB (in a 3kHz bandwidth) which is more than enough to be able to work myself, if that were possible. Indeed I have worked many people running systems similar or smaller than mine. The smallest station that I have worked is G0HIK with two 33 element yagis, OE3JPC who uses two 56 element yagis is also regularly worked when the path loss is low.

 An invaluable resource for EME operations above 2m is the 432 and Above EME Newsletter. The [[https://eme.radio/|eme.radio]] site is more than just the home of this newsletter and its archives and is highly recommended.
