Oops.....I .have not woken up yet. That was 2.3 GHz not 5.7 :-)

I started operating with the moon only at 5 degrees, just over mountain and in between buildings...but signals were there ! However Murphy stopped in for a visit, something intermittent in my PA input SMA connector...only ~70 W out, but did work OK1KIR (559/0), ES5PC (559/0), called SP6OPN (569) but only QRZs, also heard VE6BGT (559), OK1CS (449) and N4PZ (339). I did not see any 2320 signals, but later put on a test signal to find frequency calibration out by 1 MHz ( oops !) 

I hope to fix the PA connector problem and be ready for the next pass by ~0200 and will be looking for 2320 signals especially
