[NLRS] 902 Dish and feed

[Scott]

If anybody cares...I finished up testing the 4 foot dish and feed (with 
the funky adapter we turned out on a lathe) and it looks like it is 
working OK.  Measured the return loss (with the dish setting on the 
ground, pointed up about 20 degrees from horizontal and with horizontal 
polarization) at about 16 dB, so I think that puts the SWR at about 1.3 
to 1, so I'm happy with that.  Now...on to the homebrew mount for Field 
Day.  Won't know the gain of the beast probably until Aurora 2008 unless 
someone wants to truck it to Central States!  (Would it fit in the 
overhead bin on a jet?)  ;)

So, if I can get a suitable mount made up, I should be ready to play 902 
soon (portable with 10W and from home with 150W or so)
