Hello All,

This weekend AD6FP and W6QI made 20 QSOs after 10 hours of operating on 
1,296 MHz with the 20 foot dish. Highlights were receiving answers to 
three CQ calls, hearing both ends of most ongoing QSOs, hearing three 
SSB stations very well, and hearing our own echoes, strongly at times. 
We were limited on the transmit side by low power levels. Drop by next 
month, as we plan to increase the transmit power level by either 3 dB or 
12 dB, depending on whether the tube amp is completed.

Regards,

Frank
W6QI
