Need to find a different solution for counterweight when in Hawaii. I used a 60# kettlebell to keep the dish grounded and a 10# sledgehammer taped to the counterweight arm as the counter weight. I am running a 2.4m dish with 40’ of LMR400 into the preamp and 40’ of LMR600 on the TX side. I found the dish has about 3 degrees of play before I start to see a slight drop in signals from the large stations. I ended up finding a relay problem off the sequencer board, so I focused on receiving signals, moving the dish, and decoding what I could on Q65 and JT65. This is testing for my upcoming EME expedition to KH6 in October. Today we had a break from the mid afternoon rains and I was able to do a dry run setup and get the folding 2.4 meter dish up and on the air for moonrise.
