of feed
for maximum sun noise today ( feed was over illuminated ), signals came way
up.

Ran spectrian amplifier between 120 - 140 watts output. Afraid to run above
150 watts 
from burning out output isolator as many have reported ( maybe remove
isolator and 
add 50 ohm trace in its place). Found and running a Lambda LZS-1500-3 power
supply from e-bay.
Runs 28 VDC at 75 Amps.

too late.

Completed with many small stations on 144 last night including the Cyprus
Dxpedition 5B8AD/P.
