[Moon-net] Big dishes minimum setup?

[Perryman, Paul]

Hello Dom,

I worked the Jamesburg station on CW with 375W and a 10ft dish, 0.25db
nf on my end last weekend.. with the current moonpath loss, it was
marginal but ok, so I may be one of the lowest end stations for this
group as currently configured.

I have not worked the 8N1 group.  But sometimes us "small guns" can beat
the odds.. it will be interesting to see if you can succeed.  I know
both big stations are working to improve their capabilities.
