Measurement of noises on 23 cm with extended dish |
| The best position of choke for f/D 0.31 on feeder for 23 cm were found after lunch. At 60 mm position we measured CS/G 7.8 dB, Sun noise 19.6 @ SF 106, beamwidth 2.6°/-3 dB. Moon was low above horizon and his noise was masked by Ground noise - still about 1 dB. We expected Moon noise about 0.3 dB. All measured by SDR-14. |

HB0/DF1SR on 6 cm. |
| We made QSO with HB0/DF1SR early after Moon rise at there site. It was the first HB0-OK QSO on 6 cm. We QSYed to 70 cm then, but in very strong interference we haven't find any signal from EY expedition. |

Another night visit at QTH |
| Tonda was QRV on 23 cm. He made 3 new JT65 initials, 3W4TC and RA0ACM with linear polarization and PY1UNU with circular polarization. He also QSOed VK2AMS. The he tested 3 cm feeds, long horn and circular feed with single choke. Results will be soon on the web. |
