[Moon] DUBUS 23cm Results, G3LTF

[Nando Pellegrini]

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the pleasure for making a QSO with you and nice description 
of your setup.
I am doing all most the same and have a Perseus Receiver in parallel 
with the IF out of the transverter and a big monitor on the PC screen 
where i can see the smallest signal but even so there is a latency 
before having detected an out of frequency signal and put it in the 
center of your filter and sometimes is too long, i am using a K3 as 
receiver and always with the 50Hz filter that works very well. The 
receiver has also an APF but which,i guess, is only a few hertz wide and 
it  doesn't help with signals from the moon and the information is 
deteriorated instead of having an advantage at least for my ears.
Another problem i have noticed with very weak signal, is  a very often  
sending the call sign stored in a circular buffer with a link between 
the end and the start so not allowing to distinguish the 2 when 
repeating it.
Only very little considerations not so important and with no effect to 
the contest value
73 ant to the next,nando

I think that you need some sort of frequency display, to catch people calling off frequency ( a smart move in a pile up anyway) and to catch people tailending you when its NOT your frequency, and to spot the really weak ones. There are also stations where the LO shifts between tx and rx, (not uncommon in HB systems, been there) and they end up off frequency.
> Second point is that I now have this lovely TS590SG with excellent DSP down to 50Hz and 1 Hz RIT but I still find an additional improvement in very weak signal readability when I add my old tuneable switched capacitor MF8 filter set to 50Hz, I suspect it maybe a passband shape effect. ( PA2DW, Dick, yes you were the weakest)
