[MAMS] 5.7 GHz rainscatter question

[Zack Widup]

I'd say about 2 watts or more of power and a 2 ft or larger dish will get
you some RS QSO's. I actually have never worked RS on 5.7 because of the
scarcity of people on that band. It might be possible with K4TO from here
given the right storm in the right place. Thunderstorms have also been
scarce this year!

I really like the 5.7 GHz band and wish more people were active on it.
