Hi Frank,
at what precise frequency are you trying to listen ?
i f you are on a random frequency is almost impossible that you receive anything except you are very very luck :-)
First of also set mode to JT65B that is still the most common mode in 2m EME and go to link https://www.chris.org/cgi-bin/jt65emeA to see who are active at that moment and try to listen him at his QRG.
