Brand new. Outside only a few days. insufficient room for full elevation.
$150. It would be difficult if not impossible to ship so local sale is
best.

Paul,
My experience on 1296 is fairly short (Feb 2014 -
June 2015). All were using a 4.9m dish so Rx is
pretty good. First eleven qso were using 50w and
all but one on JT65c. The rest were using a 150w
W6PQL amp which I discovered was probably doing 160w though the Bird said 125w.
Made one CW at the higher power, easily. When I
get my dish fixed I will be running 560w.
Joe Taylor actually introduced a 30-second
sequence version of JT65 but it did not take,
with few using it. I think he dropped it from his inventory.
From my experience in a few contests I would say
CW is about 70% to JT65 30% in number of stations
active on 1296. That may have shifted more to JT65 in the intervening years.
I worked 2.4m stations with 100w using JT65;
probably would not hear well enough for CW (I
need a 5-10 dB SNR to copy CW these days with my
hearing losses; that gives JT65 about a 15-dB
advantage for me). I can hear tones at -18
signal level on JT65 but not enough to copy on
CW; -14 is copyable on CW using a 50-Hz filter.

Although the SDR screen of the 23cm CW section at peak times was not as full as in some years there was plenty to work. On 23cm CW I worked 65 stations with 4 initials RA4HL, K8ZR, WK9P and a new dxcc BD4SY. First time for many years that I worked a completely random new country.
On 70cm I was only QRV for a short time but worked 8 stations, condx there seemed very variable with polarisation peaks changing.
Sun noise on 70cm 14dB SF66 and on 23cm 19.9dB SF65 Moon noise 0.6dB.
Thanks to all for the nice QSOs In the next leg I will spend more time on 70cm.
On 13cm CW this morning I was delighted to work A21EME and OM1TF for two new ones.

Hi all,
Thought I would throw this out there in hopes I might find some
suggestions. I have not been able to decode anything for a few days now
and the conditions are listed to be very good. I have heard great in
just the near past but nothing now. I had put a new ARR preamp in before
leaving on vacation a couple of weeks ago but cant remember if I decoded
before leaving or not. Everything seems to sound normal and work as
normal but I just dont decode anything. I do see birdies as usual. Im
wondering if I should maybe download WSJT again and see if it
straightens out? Has this been an issue with anyone else?
Thanks-Bob-W0YBS

Hi
What do people think of the frequency stability of the new ICOM 705 portable radio for use in a portable EME station?
I thought that, depending upon how frequency stable it is, that it might be possible to pair it with a 1296 MHz transverter and linear amplifier to form the basis of a nice portable station.
Thanks

Does anyone know if the airspy RX works with MAP65 & WSJTX please. Thank you
Les w2dbl for bringing this up. Apparently the airspy has a better dynamic
range than the FCDPP!!!
Thank you
