[Ground-station] Operation 1.2m Dish Pickup: Dayton Hamvention 2019!

[KENT BRITAIN]

 I made a QSO thru OSCAR 100 2 weeks ago.   But wasn't in North America
It is said that a QSO is possible from Nova Scotia,  But no one there to give it a try.
I've got CP Patch feeds that I used.    Kent WA5VJB

 I will take one in Chicago !Still think we can hit QO-100 with CW at least, at 0 deg elevation out over Lake Michigan.Read somewhere that 10 Watts at the feed point will give ~2.5 KW ERP out of a 1 m dish...Depending on the specs.Diffraction, refraction and tropo scatter.Remember the GEO sat sits at 36000 Km above Africa.Weird, about 75 deg magnetic az and -25 deg el from Chicago.Worth a test shot.But, we really need/want our own all mode GEO sat or commercial solution transponder above the Americas !

Michelle,
I'll be at Hamvention and can pickup a dish there.
Also, I'm willing to haul a few more back to the Chicago area (60min drive from Midway) for others to pickup that won't be in Dayton.  Conditioned on them fitting in my '12 CRV  :)

Doug Phelps will be at Dayton with transportation. He can take 10-15 of the free 1.2m dishes to Dayton for pickup.

I will send out a separate email directly to everyone that said they want one for potential coordination. 

If you are driving to Dayton, and are interested in a nice Andrews 1.2m offset feed dish, and missed out on this the first time around, then here is your chance! Forming the "Dayton List" now.
