Today did a test of my setup with very weak signal. Using 9 elements Long Yagi and masted preamp with MGF1302 device.

Found I2FAK on 144.133 calling CQ with good signal at 11 deg Moon. Started calling him but lost him some periods later.

Franco copied my signal with -26dB. I TX with 300 watts.

 

Just before moonset found him again and got a QSO, my signal was -30dB at him.
