[Moon] 13cm at G3LTF...or,The usual frustrations!

[SAM JEWELL]

Folks,
In answer to the "more attractive" comment from Guenter, I hope to get back on 13cm shortly. In addition to the well-known 'European' 3G amplifiers, we have been fortunate enough to find some other 3G amps that are giving ~200W output on 2320MHz without significant modifications. 
I was able to work 2 stations with just 50W to my 2.3m dish sometime last year, but the septum polaraiser feed was not optimized and therefore the spill over noise was higher than it should have been. I will need to do some more work on the feed, but after my work with the 9cm EME feed, I think I now know what to do and better, how to do it!
I will be able to listen on 2304 but not on 2424, at least initially.

Hoping to be back on 13cm soon.

73 de Sam, G4DDK

 I was waiting for Peter's comment, and now I can totally  agree. It was frustrating to see only one trace on my 12kHz wide waterfall on  2320 which was him, and at the same time 5 traces on 2304.
  
 Peter, what else must we do in order to become more  attractive?

 From 0000 to 0326 I worked 14 stations. DF3RU #, F2TU,  RW1AW, OH2DG, OK1KIR, ES5PC, IK2RTI #, SM3AKW, OE9ERC, HB9SV, ( Xband)   F5JWF #,SP6GWN #, K1JT (Xband) DL4MEA. CWNR were  W5LUA,WD5AGO,  NA4N 
  I then had a short  nap and in the next  three hours to 0915  I worked only PA0BAT. But as usual I did hear a lot of  others on 2304 ... and called them, mostly many times,  WD5AGO, WA6PY,KL6M,  NA4N, K7XQ,  IW2FZR,and OK1CA.
  I would be interested to hear of anyone who called  me X band and didnt get a reply, when the RIT runs out its easy to make an  setting error on split operation.
   Hope some of you US guys will be on  tomorrow.
