Blue Ghost in Europe today at 7:50. The Moon is only 10 degrees above the horizon and the dish is looking straight into trees.
This is a sub-optimal system using a 92cm (3 foot) dish and a linear feed. The carrier is visible on the spectrum but not in this screen shot. 73 G4IUG ex G8EAO

With the help of Scott Tilley @coastal8049.bsky.social, Eelke Visser @eelkevisser.bsky.social and Amsat-DL @amsat-dl.bsky.social I received this from BGM-1 last night.
Not as strong as I anticipated on a 90cm linear polarization, hand tracked and a phone to copy the screen (I know!)
