[MAMS] Central States VHF conference

[Zack Widup]

Looks like a pretty ambitions project. Good luck!

Sam G4DDK got me interested in 1296 EME a couple years ago but there really
isn't any place to put a dish in my yard that can get to the moon on the
horizon or in about 60% of the sky.

A 10 foot dish at 10 GHz is going to have about a 0.5 degree beamwidth,
plus or minus. I hope it's going to be on a very steady support!
