[Moon-net] 10GHz Results

[Chris Bartram]

A good weekend here! The new dish surface has improved the G/T a lot, although 
I've not yet characterised it, as I didn't finish fitting it until 1800 on 
Friday.  No real problems, apart from a couple of glitches with the dish 
positioning system.

I guess that activity was diluted a bit by people trying to run three, four, 
or five bands. Several people who I'd expected to be QRV on 3cm were clearly 
playing elsewhere, or were only around for a short while! 

I worked:

RW1AW
F2TU
IQ4DF
F5JTA #
IK2RTI #
OK1KIR #
OK1CA
WA7CJO
G4NNS #

# = initial

CWNR included:

HB9SV
DL0SHF
F5JWF
WA6PY
I4BER

I run 40W, 2.4m 0.935f/D offset dish, ~0.7dB preamp, but still with 0.3 - 
0.4dB loss in the coax antenna switch :-(
