[Moon] 23CM WEEKEND

[SAM JEWELL]

Folks,
if you hear a very weak signal calling you during the contest it mightjust be me. I've resurrected the 2.3m dish after 18 months off 23cmEME. I found several problems including water in the TX feeder and alsothat the OK1DFC feed had not been accurately positioned at the dishfocus (4 inches out - can you believe? - don't ask!). Correcting this, togetherwith a change to one of my own LNAs, has won me nearly 1dB of sunnoise, at a slightly lower SFI than when the previous measurements weredone.
Lots of signals audible on 23cm EME after about 1600z yesterday.
