Folks:

I plan to be QRV for the Dubus contest this weekend on both 13 and 9 
cm.  The plan is to be on from the start of the contest through to the 
end of the Eu-Na window on Saturday and then switch over to 9 cm for the 
last VK-NA window.  Then I will stay on 9 cm for the Sunday EU-NA window 
if all is well.
I will need some time to optimize the 9 cm system as this will be its 
initial test.  I suspect my tracking system will also be severly tested 
using the 10 bit absolute encoders on 9 cm.  (.35 degree resolution and 
a 1.1 degree beamwidth HI)

Conditions will be as follows:

13 cm
Tx- 2304/2320  Rx- 2301/2304-2308/2320/2424

200w in shack, 5.5 meter dish with round aluminum septum feed with .7 x 
.3 lambda scalar ring.

9 cm

Tx/Rx- 3400

50w at feed, 5.5 meter dish with round aluminum septum feed with 
chapparal scalar rings.
DB6NT transverter and .49 db WD5AGO two stage preamp.

Hope to work many of you and am looking forward to a fun event.
