Gentlemen?

We are scheduled to meet Monday/Tuesday 30 October. That turns out to be the day and time of Barbara’s oncology appointment.

Both Joe and I can move to Wednesday/Thursday 1 November OR Thursday/Friday 2 November. Either works.

Mac and Peter…your availability for a change?

Ev, I can "Try" to be there on either day. Will be in FL with siblings so unsure of plans that might interfere. I will try to block out the requisite timeframe and have the laptop connected. Eastern time on the Gulf Coast but will convert.

Let me know which day. If you, or Joe, can text me the choice of day to: 1.931.308.5759 I'll get the message easier, otherwise I have to get emails via web browser and they sometimes get buried there (wading through 200 + right now and caught this one by chance)

it’s not fancy…but serviceable.

I’ll join each of you…10% ($36,000) each for down payment. That leaves $218,000 to pay out…$460/month each for 15 years.

We’ll be using 1296 MHz. The signal coming back from the moon is quite small.?
People are making contacts with multiple yagi antennas in phase.

If you can see it, you’re in the footprint! Just lacking the preamps and yagis.

There’s a reason we’re on a sixty foot dish.

Ev,

I've never made an EME contact but I'm assuming that it is similar to a satellite contact. With satellite contacts the return signal has a predictable surface area on earth. When we operated on Norfolk Island iur signal was picked up locally and at some distance. What is the predicted surface area on earth with an EME? Could Mack or I pick it up?

"If you can see it, you’re in the footprint! Just lacking the preamps and yagis"

Ahhh, just add a bunch more directors to your Yagi on the roof, bend the mast a tad to point at the moon and have at it !!! Turn down the RF gain to kill some of the noise and punch up the audio gain a bit, a good headset and away you go.
