Here is the basic x-band feed setup as it stands now. Printed a couple more supports for holding waveguide and LNB. Did some sun tracking today and all looks good! Maybe an on air test next weekend... https://t.co/jAafVdzpAE

Fits like a glove! Not like OJ's glove though. Seriously, just slides back and forth with very little effort. I love it when a plan comes together. https://t.co/XCGj8Fj5sa

Feed arm support brackets are all done! Next up is the feed support "prototype" - you can slide it back and forth for focus adjustment. Swap in another feed "slide" for another band. @uhf_satcom depol and VE4MA feed of course. https://t.co/vvhVcFuvB9

I installed my new 2.1m (Digiwave) dish and I have improved signal from 1.7 to 2.2 dB, that's a great level of improvement for GOES-16 GRB. I have signal quality between 89-91 for LHCP and 97 to 100 for RHCP. I'll not try to readjust for a better signal until spring at least! https://t.co/IJzAu3nWy1

Mercury Transit of 2019
Got up way too early to capture this rare Mercury Transit. Mercury is small, about 1/3 the size of the Earth. Good thing there was no sunspots or Mercury would have been difficult to locate.
Active Region 1520
I decided to take a look at AR1520 to see the source of the recent X Class Flare. Quite the view I must say, although I still have not seen any Aurora activity here in California.
