Hi Takushi, Some success this morning. I received only 2 data bursts. It started to rain and I had to cover equipment. I did receive the first data burst at 11:32:37.5 so your timing is very good! I synchronized the clock on my computer with NTP about 1/2 hour before the pass started.

Norm, You could start with the 5.1 GHz DRO in an old C Band LNB for the LO. Add an LNA IC, and Mixer. Use the IF section in the C Band LNB to cover cable loss. Art, KC6UQH -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Lizeth Norman

Art, How do I recognize the Dielectric Resonance Oscillator? Where might I get one of these units? Where, how and with what do I plumb the rf with? Suggestion on parts re the lna ic and I assume a mixer ic? Wonder about the limit of dead bug construction at GHz? What methods might one use? I
