This was the first ARRL EME contest with the new, homemade 20 foot dish on 1296 MHz, running about 350 W. The score was about three times higher than in previous years with the 10 foot dish. Dan, W9EQ was the guest operator. We worked all stations on CW, even some small ones running 100 W into an 8 foot dish. That is pretty much the limit of the system. Moon noise was 0.4 dB.
