[Moon] 3.4GHz skeds

[Koellner, Guenter]

Hi,
 
I just tested my RX setup on 9cm and I believe it works.
 
In the focal point of my 4.5m dish there is a standard C-Band LNB which I bought for €20 in an auction.
This converts 3456MHz to 1694MHz and 3400MHz to 1750MHz (L.O. is 5150MHz)
I then do another conversion using an former Meteosat converter, which nicely converts
1994MHz to 137MHz and 1750MHz to 193MHz.
 
I am using my SMPC generator with a diode tripler to generate 3400MHz resp. 3456MHz test signals. This is working nicely. The SMPC is GPS controlled, so its frequency is really what it displays. By this, I saw that the LNB's L.O. is just 1MHz off
 
Well, there is the bottleneck: My FT847 cannot handle 193MHz and so I would not have waterfall on this where I can monitor the band. Probably I can find another solution somehow. Probably I can use my AR3000 scanner for listening, but this would change too much in my standard 144MHz set up.
 
Tomorrow I will look for sun noise.
 
My request to those beeing QRV or having skeds on 3.4GHz for the weekend: Would you please forward your sked lists to me, so I can listen?
 
Looking forward to the first signals from the moon on 3.4GHz!
