ATP=ActivityTimePeriod for 432MHz, see homepage of SM2CEW or EME pages send reports to K2UYH & Dubus,
432 MHz activity times should boost the 432MHz CW EME activity. See some
big guns in CW within 432.010 and 432.050 MHz.
High positive Declination shows that
the moon transit is in the northern hemisphere, red negative Decl
indicates a southern transit of the moon.
Loss in dB indicates the extra losses due to the different distance earth-moon,
best case at perigee is +0,3dB
and worst case at apogee -2dB.

The background
TEMPeratue indicates the losses caused by the
noise from objects behind/near the moon. Coldest value on 432 is 15K and when the moon is in
front of our galactical centre this value can be up to
200K. This can cause up
to 8dB extra losses on RX at a good station.
More detailed info
can be taken from VK3UM(sk)
famous EME Planner
Sat = Saturday,
sun = Sunday, all times in GMT/UT
Nice view of the earth from
moon on G4ZTR pages see here

& up EME news and hints can be found on http://www.moonbouncers.org/
