[Moon-net] 23cm & 50W

[Darrell]

Hi Gang;
First a correction on my Power at the Feed on 23cm (for Ivo, hi hi), 
BTW! Ivo I do agree, and I am as guilty as heck, as well as many many more.

I was measuring my output power with Bird (in more way than 1), 400 
to 1000Mhz Plug for 250W at approx. 64W..........I since connect a 
know good 20db coupler and HP Thermistor Mount and actual output was, 
or is, 57W in the shack from a single 7289, with a calculated Line 
loss of .5db that leave a mere 50W at the Feed.

I have said it to Howard before, and I will say it again, he has the 
Best  blasted ears on the Band, hi hi.
To make matters worse Howard is possibly going to be the only one to 
have New Brunswick as a Multiplier........My blasted AZ Drive Chain 
came off at 79.5Deg AZ and there it sits, very, very heavy driving 
Rain with high winds..........I came up stairs and watched Boston 
beat the Colorado Rocky's for the World Champion Ship.........now I 
KNOW you all know what I am talking about?????

Had a Lot of fun Listening two nights ago and enjoyed the Pile 
Ups........AZ let me down last evening  and no more moon for me this 
weekend before contest ends......Great to be back Guys.

Regards & Have Fun, Darrell
