Picking up a 2.4m TVRO dish tomorrow for free, so with some time and good management I may be joining you all on the moon in the next 12 months or so. Lots of reading to do to get my head around the best way to attack it all. I have a IC9100 with the 1296 module, but thats about it so VLNA (probably G4DDK) will be required and a SSPA (yet to decide on what I will get). Septum feed seems to be the way to go. Also need to make the AZ/EL tracking setup. May start with manual pointing using CCD camera and a monitor in the shack, as I have that stuff at hand. If the bug bits (and I belive EME is addictive from all reports) I will then look at a proper tracking setup.
I will no doubt be asking plenty of questions here as I progress down the slippery slope.
