[Moon] 1296 newbie

[Ross]

I am looking at getting up to 1296, and I would like to have a reasonably good station
Can you please give me advice as to what is required.

Size of dish (be realistic, the XYL is starting to get unimpressed by my current hardware up in the air)

transverter from 28 or 144? (my preference would be for DB6NT as I already have
their 2m and 70cm transverters, which work well) but I am open to suggestions.

Transmitter, how do I get the power required, and where do I get the amps??? (On 2m I can run 2kw and on 70cm 1.5kw
with amps from LZ2US which are superb).

Feeding the dish, what is the best solution?

What else do I need??????

2m and 70cm are reasonably straight forward, but 1296 seems another world, so I need help.

I would be feeding the transverters from my Orion II or an Elecraft K3.

Best wishes to all.
