@kr1st 222 might be a but of a struggle. The transverter is only 25W.

I just fired up 432.174 FT8 as well in case you want to try :)

@jeffpc saw you on 432 also. Calling you on both bands. We have to hit QSB just right.

@jeffpc I'd say save your energy on 432. I got three decodes, but if you haven't seen me by now then we need better conditions. It just started snowing here too.

@kr1st it’s been a slow weekend, so it’s not like 432 is otherwise busy, but fair enough. We also have this pesky 18’ dish in the way of our western view. However, once the dish is hooked up, it’ll be very fun to operate :D

Thanks for the 3 Qs!

@jeffpc Wow, that's awesome! That will be so much fun to play with. Looks like you got a nice stack on 432, too. The 222 beam looks to be the same as what I have.

It's snowing hard here so I pretty much have to pack it in because the snow is starting to accumulate on the antennas. I parked 222 and up and only play a little on 6m, and maybe 2m, but that may end soon too.

@kr1st I had nothing to do with the setup here :) There is another 70cm stack on the other side of the roof, which will fix obstruction issues. But that’s also a work-in-progress. The dish will be mostly for EME.

@jeffpc EME is on my list, too. Not with an 18 foot dish though. 😂
