   Thanks to everybody who responded to
 my E-mails and accepted skeds.
  Was a good chance for me to extensively
 test the new setup. 
  Heard good signals from HB9BBD (429-539)
 calling CQ on .020, called for 25 min
 but no reply. Nothing from HB9Q. Then
 rcvd PA3CSG at an M/O copy. Unfortunately
 at the end of sked my AZ rotator got to
 be defective and so had to stop.
  Sure last thursday conditions where much
 better than today (-0.04 -> -0.7dB !).
  GI7B was running stable at 0.3A/1.8KV
 with only 3m of Celflex up to feed of
 the 2m dish. Got about 4dB of Sun noise.
  There is sure room for improvements till
 the next 23cm contest.

   73 & DX, Szigy.
