OK Drew, thanks for the reply !  I thought something was wrong ! I'm using
an FT-847 to M2 CP antennas for 2M, 70cm, and a N3IYR 3' dish for 2.4 GHz
reception. From what you are saying, you can hear me but I cannot hear you.
Either I have something wrong with the 70cm antenna setup or it's pilot
error. Were there alot of signals on the band ? I heard very little, except
noise. I've been trying also to use Supercontrol for doppler control. Did
you hear me very well ? If it's a 70cm reception problem, it may be a
coax-to-antenna interface problem.

Jamie,
I hate to be the one breaking this to you, but you have a problem somewhere.
I heard you calling CQ near the center of the FO20 passband and called you
several times, as did another station. After about four calls each the other
station and myself moved up 10kc and had a QSO. What type of setup are you
using, specifically for receive?

Drew, KO4MA
