Good info, I have seen 1.5 deg difference between the Calculated/Optical position ofthe moon and the Radio moon. The problem is stratospheric bending.I once asked Tom W3IWI how they dealt with this on the big dishes."We track 4 Quasars Horizon to Horizon then do lease squares best fit. Our tracking programs also allow for Barometric Pressure, Air Temp, and Humidity"
For a 6 footer, this bending should be a non issue above 40 deg or so.

We baseline a 2m dish for the JAMSAT/ORI effort.
I assume this will be about 45dB of gain with the usual dish efficiency losses, and will give a 1 degree 3dB beamwidth.

Back to my original question, what gain are you designing around for theground station antenna?
