Hi John,

 

Well done, CNGRTS very nice dish/station.

For sure there are imporvements to made but just start being QRV on 9cm.

I am sure you can work many stations on 9cm which is a very nice band to
operate EME on.

 

Keep up the good work and will be looking forward to QSO with you.

Hi Peter and Al, 
 
I was SWLing on 3400 Sunday and heard G3LTF, K2UYH and HB9Q.  Feed was
placed adjacent to W2IMU 23cm feed with some predictable skew to the beam.
Sun noise 15.6 dB measured 8 Aug with sf=127 is off VK3UM prediction by at
least 3 dB.  Moon noise about 1.0 dB at best so I think there is improvement
to be made.  Wonder how that shortfall compares to others with compromise
feed locations.  Ant is 8.4m 0.43 f/d feed septum with scaler ring, LNA
0.7dB at feed.  The box with the TX and up/downconversion was in the shelter
at the tower base not at the feed.  Hope to have it in place sometime soon.

Subject: [Moon] G3LTF 9cm AW second pass

Most contacts on day 2 were on SSB. I worked OK1KIR, PY2BS, LX1DB and W5LUA
. On CW I worked PA7JB, W5LUA and OZ6OL. I ran a test with G4DDK and he just
copied my SSB enough to get both calls even though I had about 20% of the
dish obscured at the time.( This is what AWs are for)  also heard were
OH2DG, WA6PY, K2UYH, PA0BAT, SM9PGP and G4NNS.. On the second day I ran my
G4DDK preamp with an MGF4941 which got me another 0.4dB sun noise.

My thanks to everyone who made noise measurements, I will publish results,
as for 6cm, in the 432 and above NL.

Thanks for all the fun EME

73 Peter G3LTF
