Frank WB6CWN at DM04eg during contact with Clint W1LP/mm. Frank runs a four foot Andrews dish, 10 watts and a 1 db noise figure all phase locked to a 10 MHz reference.
Pictures from W1LP aboard his ship.
1.3 MB MPG movie taken by Frank while sending a carrier to Clint while setting up contact.
RealAudio recording of W1LP/mm working N6CA at 706 miles on 10368.1 MHz. It's 388k and about 1 minute in length. Playback speed raised 30% to increase pitch of recording. Recording has two repeaters IDing with 2 meter ssb in back ground and I was moving recorder around while sending . . . . .standing up. There is no way you can relax while doing this!

This costal ducting is amazing.
