[Moon] Qrv 9cm later today.

[g4bao]

 Just now I worked

PA3DZL (3.7m dish)150W

1714 -17 2.5 1270 #* G4BAO PA3DZL R-25 f


OK1KIR (6.1m Dish QRO?)

1726 -17 2.8 1986 #* G4BAO OK1KIR R-16 f


PA0BAT 3.7m dish 140W

1738 -18 1.3 1801 #* G4BAO PA0BAT R-25 f

all would have been copyable on CW with a little effort.

I'm running just 30Watts at the feed of a 1.9m RF hamdesign dish with 2.7mm
mesh. A SM6FHZ Septum feed built by PA7JB, 0.4dB VKNA9 from G4DDK. About
7dB of Sun noise.
I have a second Toshiba amp but the output device is blown and am looking
for a replacement FET. Anyone got one?
