I'm happy to report my first two 23cm JT65c EME contacts which took 
place around 2030 UTC on Mar.01/09 using my modest setup. #1 with G4CCH 
and #2 with PA3FXB, both 'O' with signals -15dB and -18dB respectively. 
Thanks to Howard and Jan for their fine signals !

Power output is presently limited to 75w (~60w at the dish) while my 
300w SSPA is still under construction. Unfortunately I lost my LNA for 
the second time so I have an isolation problem to sort out.

I'm looking forward to working CW and maybe some SSB once I get the big 
PA online and my other technical difficulties resolved.

73, Hugh VA3TO
