Hi Jason,

Amazing results, perhaps I'll attempt this with my similarly sized dish soon!

Thanks.

I would love to have more details- was this a draft scan?  Or are you tracking your target?   What kind of amplifier/filter/SDR are  you using ?

Thanks much!

It was a drift scan.

My front end is a cake pan loop feed (Alex Pettit’s design) with a Sawbird +H1 LNA/BPF.

SDR is and Airspy Mini

Software is SDR# with IF Average Plug-In

Analysis and plotting done in excel

Cheers!
