JUNO DSN reception

Daily reception of JUNO … maybe no fun anymore 🙈 but it is probably the furthest I can get with my setup … Cassini is no longer there an New Horizons will be a bit to far …

@ibelings Will open one to check if filtering is in IF , RF or both .

@ibelings Not so good news Peter, I measured two units, INTERNAL PLL ( so not 10 MHz locked ) At 10,7 GHz NF 0,67 dB gain 56,51 dB. At 10,4 GHz NF 7,74 dB gain 19,6 dB . Also checked gain figures on spectrum and it gives the same difference in gain ( and noise floor )

@ibelings Hi Peter, I have a few SMW PLL dual output LNBs here ( LO 10.0 and 9.750 . I will do some gain and noise figure measurements @ 10,4 GHz later today .

@ZhaoFen37759626 This combiner was introduced by HB9BBD. There where several presentations ( Orebro, Dorsten , Tri Studne ) The only presentation I found on line is here : https://t.co/ccfq7crP3u To combine two PA's only adjacent ports are used

@g4cch I suggest using a hot plate to heat the board to 100°C or so, then SMD soldering is much easier 😀

For the past 8-months, Deep Space Station 43 has been undergoing upgrades. @NASAVoyager-2 has been waiting for us to be able to send it commands once again.
On Friday 30th October, we sent those commands & after a 34hour 48 min round trip time, a "hello" came back! #DSS43 @CSIRO

Like the snazzy two-tone paint job of the newly remounted 3.7m antenna?

[Eddy Jespers @on7un]

Wow , nice gear !

[Roland @DF3LZ]

The drive is up. Hell, is it heavy!

Great field day from JN02SL70IB with Jesus @ea3icw in 10 & 24 GHz, QSOs with Luis @EA5DOM, Eddy @ON7UN & Tony @ON4ALT in IM98WQ14LU (444Kms) and Iban @EB3FRN in JN01JI62FT (140Kms) QSO in 10 & 24 GHz.47 & 76 GHz there were no conditions. #hamradio #GHz

@eb3frn @ea3hmj Congrats !
