[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1057468, member: 407744"] OK, so Mars isn't really considered DX in the DSN arena but it's too low on the horizon for my 1.2m so I dragged the 2.4 out. For all doubters out there, the Fortec works quite well on 8.4GHz. Here's MRO [URL='https://mars.nasa.gov/mro/']Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter[/URL] on 8439.255MHz. Quite a decent signal: [ATTACH]119422[/ATTACH] Much closer at 112,000,000km on 8445.569MHz, OSIRIS-REx [URL='https://www.asteroidmission.org/']OSIRIS-REx Mission[/URL] but at only 10 degrees elevation it's close to the trees: [ATTACH]119423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]119424[/ATTACH] Plots are inverted as the LO is high so Doppler changes are opposite to those shown.
