2304/2320 MHz EME

The antenna for 2304/2320 MHz EME will be my 5.5 m dish with a f/D of 0.37.

I will start with using the old W2IMU dual mode feed horn for 13 cm EME. The dish will be heavy under illuminated, but the antenna temperature will be good with this feed. The gain will be affected by at least 1 dB. Next step will be to looking into making a more optimal feed for this dish on 13 cm.

W2IMU feed for 13 cm   W2IMU dual mode feed horn for 13 cm

I will be able to transmit on 2320 MHz and listen on 2301, 2304 and 2320 MHz. I do not yet know how to solve the 2424 MHz Rx question.
