PA4FP 70cm

Up-to-date status......

After making lot's of QSO's via MOON (>100) on 70cm, i want to come back active on 23cm up tot 24GHz again. This wasn't possible because the 70cm antenna system taked to much space in the tower.
A overview of the 70cm EME station can be found at: PA4FP EME

At the moment i'am active on 70,23,13,9,6,3 & 1,2cm
Build 2 new 26el DJ9BV OPT-II yagi's. See picture on the right.
The 1.9 Meter dish is in use for 23cm and the 1.5 Meter dish for 13, 9 and 6cm band.
The solid dish is in use for 3 & 1,2cm band

70CM station has 1.2kW output from 2x 3CX800A7 tube's.
