Yup, mostly active on 6 meters and 2 meters, I have talked to the space station, and done 2 meter Moon shots, not as active as I was before, never got into HF, never had the time to upgrade to anything above Tech.

Well it's up and tested, not bad for a one man job.
I tested "C" and "kU" band on 121W as it's my due South bird, then tried 105W on "C" band, got a great picture on the NASA channel in HD.
I also tested all the way out to 139W and got some channels there, I will test it to the East when I get the Vbox in and setup.
Here it is pointing at 105W.
And a great picture on the open box on the NASA channel in HD.

OK, got the Vbox installed, I wish it had the USALS function, that would have made things a whole lot simpler, I have to first find an active transponder (the satellite lists for "C" band are not all that up to date) then find the satellite, I have about 8 done so far, and still looking.
I might be able to look at some of the pacific satellites, some have hemisphere beams on "C" band.
Will find out soon.
