[MAMS] 5.7 GHz antennas

[Dave Sublette]

On 10G with my 36 inch dish, I get +/- 3 degrees before I lose the 
signal.  Six character grid locators are a must, as is a calibrated and 
stable azimuth system.

Unfortunately, I have not many people within range with which to attempt 
QSOs.  I remain open to skeds.  I'm on every morning.

73,

Dave, K4TO
