Re: [amsat-bb] Helix Feed for a Dish

["John Stephensen, KD6OZH" <kd6ozh@xxxxxxx>]

I tried the reverse today. I have a 3 turn helix (0.75" turn spacing) with a
square "cup" feeding a 33" 0.3 F/D dish. With the 4" x 4" x 2.25" cup I
measured 1.9 dB of Sun noise. After removing it the difference between Sun
noise and noise when pointed straight up decreased to 1.2 dB.

73,
