Link below will pull up video showing ezCol data collection over 24 hours – to give folks who are new to the software an idea of what to expect to see on the screen.

 

This is the division display option – where signal is divided by reference sample.

I forgot to mention that the reference is 3MHz offset frequency – I use 1417MHz rather than 1423MHz due to RFI.

WOW!  That's really cool!  Maybe I should have built that solar cooker.

The solar cooker material cost using a Discovery Feed is about the same as for the Discovery Dish and you get 6 dB more gain and a 10 deg full beamwidth instead of closer to 20. You can absolutely build both :)
