We are happy to confirm our forthcoming
144 EME operations from 'la Dominique'.For the 'smallest stations' please consider to have a try during our Moonrise as we will have some ground (sea) gain,.our location is surrounding the seashore without any obstacle for all moonrise.The figure for all of us to beat is 37 valid QSOs( 6V7A ) Regards Jacques & Jean-marc & our 'dream team'

Elevation sensor
The elevation sensor based on a MXD2125 X/Y accelerometer. The CPU is a PICAXE-08M running CORDIC algorithm for ARCTAN computation. Link with other devices done with a P-BUS implementation over RS-485
