Hi! I briefly tried one of my collapsible dishes for x-band DSN without success. It was done in a hurry, and I just noticed in the picture that the feed holder was not aligned at all (I was holding it

I built the down-converter a while ago but this is the first time I have heard anything apart from the Sun and Moon. The data rate was 455kBd at the time. I guess that SPP may be on a lot whilst the r

Hello DSN boys , Long transmission time this morning for SPP . ~~ ~~ 4 Hours transmitting data at home .( on Ka band ) . Perfect for some measurements here . Infos into the screen shot . 73 Bertrand F

Hi I’ve just been asked if I can find a source of an X -> L band down convertor. Can anyone suggest anything please. 73 Dave, G4DPZ

Hello Groups I need a downconverter that works between 7.5 to 8.5 for leo satellites, any have , Thanks Alvaro

Hi! I'm in the process of tuning the position of the M0EYT-built X-band VE4MA feed on my 3.5m dish. Measuring Sun noise repeatedly between positionings is not easy because the antenna needs to be lowe

I am busy making the POTY for QO100. I am looking for the specs of the lens. Not the diamond type. but the sillinder type wit sharpened side tha fit over the 22mm copper pipe. Thanks Willie V51WC

I know it’s not much of a DX around here, but I’m very excited because this was first light for my X-band setup. The new DSN feature in PstRotator tracked Bepi Colombo flawlessly for hours. Great sign

Hello all the comunity I began a new setup for recieve satelliite from 7.5 to 8.5 Ghz , I need your help and experience to recommend (a low cost option) of lna, Downconverter or Lnb , thanks for your

Hi! I've been giving Codrut YO3DMU from PstRotator feedback on the new "DSN" tab. The program automatically pulls data from JPL Horizons and uses it to track spacecraft. That part works perfectly. Cod

Hello boys , Reading our DSN list , i am thinking that to get circular polarization with squeezed pipes seems not understood most of the time . For to get a true circular polarization , RHCP or LHCP a

Usefull study for DSN experiment . 73 F 5PL

Earlier during the week I was able to start receiving signals from Bepi-Colombo after I reversed my squeezed-tube feed's polarization. This weekend I ran an experiment to check the correct probe orien

HI ! Good reception Happy reading ! F 5PL PS : Sorry for .jpg files ;;;; a PDF conversion nécessary , sure

Hello to the group... Recently joined and am looking for information on available down converters, feeds, and related software for DSN (8Ghz) ..... I see that Kuhne has discontinued their LNC 8084 dow

Here's an excel spreadsheet you can use to estimate sun noise or G/T, etc. Change the dish diameter, frequency, and sky temp as appropriate. The sun's intensity you can get from Penticton observatory.
