[HamWAN PSDR] Anyone wanna help with an 8 mile microwave test tomorrow?

[Kenny Richards]

I'd love to take part to, but need a little more heads up. 

I also can bring my little generator, pretty quiet and puts out 1300 watts. I use it for Field Day normally.

Where were you going todo this?

TX power will be just +10dBm.  30dBi and 32dBi dishes will be used. Projected RX power is -60dBm.  Receiver is sensitive down to about -115dBm, which gives us about 55dB of fade margin before the signal is undetectable.
