1296Mhz portable station

I am building a 1296Mhz portable station using a W2HRO Sub Lunar 2.4m folding dish. A clever design that folds up like an umbrella and weighs only 7kg. These are very popular for EME and I was starting to feel left out not having one... It will be powered by a PQL PA which will easily provide 300w into the feed. More to come as I complete the build.
