Hej Peter, nice to meet another Dilbert fan. We are in small company I think
;)
Its pitty I have no other equipment than 23cm at the moment. My 3cm project
suffers dish accuracy problems so I am modifying my SpidRas to the OE5JFL
system. Takes time at PA2DW with busy schedule.
But it will be finisched before winter I am sure. Too bad I missed Goon
Hilly activity..

I worked GB6GHY on both 6 and 9cm on CW and ssb, PA3DZL and DK0SB on 9cm and
SM6CKU and OK1DFC on 6cm. I had hoped to work more of the activity generated
by GB6GHY but a 12v SMPSU that I regulate to 10.5V began to fail
intermittently plus I had a loose wire in the same circuit and so it took
hours to locate the problem, all up at the dish, and then to "jury rig" a
replacement PSU to feed the regulator. I needed all my Dilbert skills!

So, with operation on both 6 and 9cm this weekend, how does the microwave
community feel about doing that for activity weekends in 2018 rather than a
separate weekend for each band?
Thanks Brian, Neil and Tim for an excellent operation at GB6GHY.
