Hi Jon,

Tnx again for the QSO on 902.  It looks like I got the bugs worked out 
on my transverter, so really looking forward to making noise on 902.  
Have to get the CW working on my IF rig ;)

Again, the stats on my end:  DEMI 902 transverter at 9.5 Watts (I built 
from the kit).  4 foot Andrew solid dish with stock feed 
(dipole/reflector feed) and a homebrew feed using a "loop Yagi" driven 
element with a loop reflector out in front.  I was set up in EN34vu 
according to my GPS, so it looks like a 53 mile hop according to WinGrid 
program.  Not bad for having the dish center at about 3 feet AGL and 
shooting into some trees and a house ;)

Your signals were between S1 and up to about S5, with fairly large QSB 
swings between those levels.  Even so, I never had any trouble hearing you.
