The following are being brought by Bruce Randall for door prizes.

“Radio Astronomy” by John Kraus. Slightly Used Copy. From: ?? Michael Jankovoich n=maybe?? Sent to me 12-1-12

RA Supplies Noise Source. Bad N connector replaced. Reworked for improved output at 1420MHz. Tested calibration at 400MHz. That took a few hours!! From: ?? Michael Jankovoich n=maybe?? Sent to me 12-1-12

RA Supplies Dish feed. 408MHz or 612MHz?? Computer model looks like 612MHz. Preamp from same source is for 408MHz. From: ?? Michael Jankovoich n=maybe?? Sent to me 12-1-12

AVCOM of VA PD2-950-50-DC1 Power Splitter. One output DC blocked. Usable at 1420MHz. From: Dr. John D. Bernard W4JSS

Mini-Circuits NHP-1000. High pass filter for 1000MHz. Passes 1420 MHz. Blocks DC. From: Dr. John D. Bernard W4JSS

Uniden UST-55 Ku band converter From: Dr. John D. Bernard W4JSS

2 each 1 to 2GHz 75 ohm line amplifiers. (If they work) Needs to be tested. SETI docs say they have 3dB noise figure at 1420MHz. From: Dr. John D. Bernard W4JSS

Directional coupler. It should work at 1420 MHz. Will be included if I get around to needed repairs to broke N connector & testing. Should be good for 1420MHz calibration setup. From: Dr. John D. Bernard W4JSS

I hope to get a SC150 scanner modified for RA use along with a phase switch board. From: Bruce Randall NT4RT Call is NT4 “Radio Telescope”
