23cm Portable EME

2.4m folding dish from W2HRO at Sub Lunar. Weighs in at just 7kg. Is not weatherproof but can be covered during rain with a tarp while making do with some rum.

A small light simple drive that comprised two gear boxs and two small motors. Az and El encoders provide bearing and elevation data to the AnTrack Pro.

AnTrack Pro comprises an box at the operating position with an LCD powered by a regualr ESP32 board. At the antenna the encoder board talks to the az and el encoders and is powered by a Nano CPU as well as two bridges that drive the az/el motors

Tommy Henderson has made a set of LNA's for 23cm for me. The big one has additional filtering. The relay is for isolation during TX as the Septum feed only provides about 20dB isolation

You cant go wrong with a W6PQL PA build.

The IC-9700 does a good jobon Q65 and CW.
