from 09/2021 I am using 8m offset

- clear sky and 33% humidity

Provisional solution
for the 1296 MHz band, pending the availability of a large 8m offset dish. For
the ARRL EME contest 2020, its first part, I decided to use an
offset dish of 2.6m designed for microwave bands. However, since
it has F/D 0.6 against the original Prodelin F/D 0,8 antenna, I needed a new
feed. So I used the existing square septum feed and completed it with a
square - circular transition, like the system used in W2IMU. |
09/2019 - 09/2020 used Prodelin
offset 2,4m
