Hi Nels, W0TUP

You don't mention the size of your dish and the overall System Temperature
of your receiving system for 2.4 GHz but if it was good for AO40 you should
be actually able to receive a small level of Sun-Noise.

As an example:

Using my 1.2 meters dish with an overall  System Temperature of the system
of about 72 kelvin I was in condition to day to get about 3.4 dB of
Sun-Noise as the included diagram showes.

The signal radiated by AO-51 is too strong to evaluate if your 2.4 GHz
receiving system is in good shape or not.

Are there any satellites on 2.4 gig so I can check out my old AO-40 dish.

Two antennas met on a tower, fell in love and
got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the
reception was excellent.
