Re: [amsat-bb] 2mtr dish (additiona)l

[YANN - F1NGP <f1ngp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello !

I'm using a 2m Prime focus Dish with f/d 0.7
I was using my old 3 turns L/S feed (1m Dish f/d 0.35)

Since yesterday I'm using 7 turns helix feed on S-Band but this morning 
Squint was too high (35 deg) to have good
comparaison reports but it seems to be better

Here the double-feed L/S mode link (some parts in french) but look at the 
EXCEL sheet (with this you can see
on a picture how your feed illuminate the dish)

http://www.f1te.org/Double%20Helice/HELICE.htm

I'm using 3 turns on L band (I've done a modification only on 13cm on my 3 
turns/3 turns L/S feed)
Will try tomorrow morning (local time) on AO-40 ...

My UPLINK is 12 el. Quad H polarity and it's better than 19el Crossed YAGI 
! Why ? I don"t know !
