[Moon-net] ES5PC is available for skeds this week and part of the next week on 23, 13, 6 and 3cm EME

[Viljo Allik]

Hi,

The Moon goes high again and I'm available for skeds on microwave EME. It  
takes me about one hour to switch the
band. Currently 13cm equipment is installed on the dish.

Unfortunately 9 cm band is not yet allowed for ham use here in Estonia and  
I have no infromation if it will
ever be allowed. Perhaps it may be possible to apply for some kind of  
temporary license for EME only operation.

During the last week I have made some improvements in the azimuth  
indication system of my dish and I hope now better
tracking accuracy, especially on 6 & 3 cm.


My setup:

4.5m dish in KO38hj,

23cm: VE4MA feed, 300W SSPA, Rx NF about 0.35dB
13cm: VE4MA feed, 300W SSPA, Rx NF about 0.4dB
6cm: septum feed, 15W SSPA, Rx NF about 0.6dB
3cm: Chaparral type feed, V-Pol, about 20W TWTA, Rx NF about 0.7dB

73,

Viljo ES5PC
