Poor me!...Too much experimenting, not enough sleeping!

My webSite can be found at http://www3.sympatico.ca/b.zauhar


 >Greetings to all Sat Fans,
 >
 >I would like to let you know that I have a webside where my AO-40 antenna
 >setup is described in detail (construction tips, photos, etc). For those of
 >you who are not sure if offset dishes work well for AO-40 2.4GHz downlink,
 >you can hear a wave file of the middle beacon that confirms this. In a
 >nutshell, my antenna setup consists of:
 >
 >-A homebrew 12 turn helix fed with 20-80W RF at 435MHz,
 >-A 30 inch. offset dish modified for 2.4GHz using helix feed and preamp.
 >
 >My website also has other interesting technical stuff such as electronic
 >reference tables, QRPPPP Transmitter, RF alarm, etc.
 >
 >If you have any comments, make sure you send them directly to me as well,
as
 >I subscribe to the amsat-bb service in digest mode and will only read you
 >the next day...
 >
 >See you there!
