Feed for new system with 1m prime-focus dish

Next small progress - new feed for 2,4/10G, today checked thanks to Zdenek, OK1DFC, in his lab. SWR seems to be now ok, small pressure to reflector plate was needed ;-)

Updated map of my QSOs via QO-100 satellite

OK1DST - QSO Map - 27.4.2019

QO-100 - new challenge and a lot of fun

My today used setup - LNB locked on 25MHz to 10MHz GPSDO (using simple solution by CT1FFU) with 70cm offset dish and SDR Console 3.0.7. For TX is used my 13cm transverter for tropo contests with 50W output power with simple septum feed (cca 8,5dBi gain). With this system I am now with cca 160 QSOs via sat and 89 grid squares worked. Nice hobby :-)

 As I/F for Tx there is used FT-817. Also ETM-8C keyer and Voice keyer for lazy SSB operator.

What is in progress is new system with 1m prime-focus dish and combined feeder. Then using of 3-5W will be enough and also I will try to move RX to standard 144MHz band from todays 739MHz and SDR Console SW - tuning by standard knob is better for me ;-)
