[Moon] [Moon-Net] Sun noise measurements

[Dale Parfitt]

Could I suggest that in addition to  sun to cold sky that reports include dish size and feed along with the solar flux at the time of measurement.

My last measurement was April 16 at  an SFU=77.1/ 15’ dish  SM6FHZ feed. Sun/cold sky was 14.1 dB

 

Tnx,

Dale W4OP

Can I suggest (request? ) that as many of you as can do so make a sun noise measurement during the weekend. Moon noise as well if possible.

Dont get too fussy about finding cold sky, if you go about 20 degrees forward from the sun that will be fine.

Sunday is a good day to measure moon noise, its in a cold sky background. 

My measurements today are  Sun 14.5dB and Moon 1.0dB.

I would be grateful for any that you can send me.
