[MAMS] Central States VHF conference

[Dave Calvert]

Yes Danny,
I brought this Dish back from Garth's (W0GR/ EM38ax) QTH.  Garth helped me mount
it with a 2X4 framework on my 16 ft. trailer.  I have pics of this.  The trip is from O'Dessa,
MO. to my QTH (EM48ts) St. Louis, MO.  This Dish is a dB products and weights 125
lbs. without any kind of feed on it.
 
Yes, this is a small Dish com-paired to many of the EME systems that are already out there.
Getting on the moon will be my last big move in this Hobie!
73,
Dave - KB0PE

I seem to remember a talk at a CSVHF about early 10 GHZ EME, I seem to
remember one of the stations using a 30 foot dish and was illuminating a
spot on the moon. Nothing to be gained for any antenna that has smaller than
a .5 degree beam width.

Hauling a 10 ft dish on a trailer could be exciting!

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!
