For local tropo QSO's: I am wondering what I would need to start a 10
GHz station. What equipment is require for a 
		successful starter station ( Antenna size, TX power )
Would a DEM 10 GHz transverter be a good choice ??

For the moonnet: What would be the smallest dish for EME and what would
be the minimum power ??

Please Note : I have a very late start in the activity because of the
fact I am on the west coast and have a 
minimum dish elevation of 20 degrees. This is why I think I miss most of
the activity during the activity weekends.
