Hello Bob,

I think the challenge will be finding the most economical and portable 
setup for the everyday ham.

For example: How can you take a cheap LNB and alter the printed 
microstrip filters for a lower frequency? How can that be done 
repeatably by someone who doesn't have a shack full of test equipment?

I occasionally make it to France and Belgium, so I'll have a chance to 
work it if I can work out something portable. Perhaps a collapsible foil 
dish?

Lots of fun times ahead, even if you aren't correcting Doppler or 
swinging antennas around!
