I was active during the microwave leg of the ARRL EME Contest, and managed to make a total of 29 QSO's, of which 4 were initials. This time I was able to listen on 2301, 2304 & 2424, but was limited to transmitting only on 2320. Unfortunately not everyone had that capability or maybe were not using it.

I heard several USA stations calling on 2304, but  was frustrated by calling them numerous times on 2320 with no reply. More often than not, I found someone else calling them on 2304 from Europe... being limited to transmitting only on 2320 as we are in the UK is a real penalty!

I was up at 03:30 and 04:30 local time, to try and catch Moon rise and the JA's, but did not hear any VK's... VK3NX were you on?

Here's the ones that got away: JA8ERE, WA9FWD, NA4N, W7JM, LA9NEA, VE6TA, OK1KIR & S50C...

Anyway, it was good to see such activity on 13cm, and great to finally add a couple of JA's into the log.

Many thanks to all for the QSO's.

Here's the log:
