Hi Gang
Put the 3cm feed in my 1.9m mesh dish on Saturday. Sadly copied nothing
from HB0 but good QRA64D signals heard from
DL0SHF -13 Copied down to 14 deg elevation here until Moon went behind
houses
OZ1LPR -12 Started a QSO but he lost the moon at his end
OK1KIR -18 Nothing copied from me
DL7YC -16 Nothing copied from me
DL6ABC -17 Nothing copied from me
Sadly then, no QSOs to add to my two initials (HB9Q and OZ1LPR) this time.
I'm not discouraged, it's obvious what the main problem is..... 12 Watts is
really not hacking it!
All good fun though, and still room to squeeze more out of the dish and
feed
*My setup *
- 12 Watts from Micom 10.7-11.2GHz PA
- Kumar choked vertical polarised waveguide feed
- 1.9m x 2.3mm mesh 0.35 F/D RFhamdesign dish
- F1OPA 0.7dB LNA + WG16 relay
- DB6NT MK2 Transverter locked to GPS
