Re: [amsat-bb] Sun noise

["Lee" <lee-fl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Eric,

I just finished making the same measurement on my 90cm dish a few minutes
ago.  I got just under 6db of sun noise which agrees very well with the
predicted 5.8 db.  My receiving setup is:

90cm dish
5 turn helix
demi 13UNLA preamp (0.7 db NF)
Drake down converter

I'll be checking it out later today on AO-40 as soon as the elevation and
squints improve a little.

Good Luck,
Lee-KU4OS
