Thanks for persevering, Gregr.  Signal strength was great but the cells were moving very rapidly and kept disappearing out of the dishes beam width.

Thanks for the new grid.  397km is a nice distance too.

See you next time!

THe on4kst site has a microwave chat room but it is for Europe and there is a lot of activity there.  Does anyone know how to make a chat room?  I am not a computer guy and dont know how that works.
>> It is easy to make smart phone a hotspot and link a laptop to it so communication in a chatroom is easy.  I also will use a text or in the case of Ron I just call him to fire the twt up, ha.

>> Anyway, rambling..THere is some storms out in north east iowa and south east minnesota right now that are moving south east with cells from 30 to 50,000 feet.  One cell in en32nm at 55,200 ft.  Thank you K0SM for the rainscatter program.  I use that exclusively and wish it could be made even greater.
>> I am waiting to see how fast and the track of the cells and to see if anyone is going to try and do some scatter.  I will go out to EN52FX89SP in Verona, wis if anyone wants to try.
