Hello all,
After a long hard work I am happy to announce my first SWL success on 
23cm CW EME:) I managed to put up 3m solid dish (0.34 f/D) with ok1dfc 
design Septun Feed. I use RAS rotator that is doing FB job and can 
handle this dish without any problem.
I had only about 4hours of time during Dubus Contest, but I managed to hear:
HB9Q
HB9BBD
OH2DG
HB9SV
K2UYH
K5JL
OZ4MM

All signals were good and some of them were just HUGE.
I also heard many other signal that I could not identify.
Most of them were strong but with big QSB.
I think I must get used to this type of signals on 23cm eme;)
It was also difficult to catch callsign during very short rx/tx periods 
during qsos of big guns.
My system is totally NOT optimized yet... And I guess even my feed is 
not place in feed point properly. But as for a first trial I am 
satisfied I could hear the first signals on 23cm eme.
Until next contest I hope to make better feed mounting, improve my RX 
and finish gi7b PA (as for now I have only 35w).

PS. I will put signals and photos on my WWW during next few weeks (will 
announce it) after my main computer will be reapired.
