Ross, 1296, 23 cm, is probably the simplest band to get on and there is a bunch of activity worldwide. Plug EME into your favorite search engine and spend a few weeks there.
See http://www.kuhne-electronic.de/english/frameset.htm for a 28 MHz - >1296 MHz transverter, 200 w or bigger amp, and receive preamp and bring money. Then a minimum 2-3 m tvro dish (free most places) steerable in at least one axis, preferably two, a nice septum feed >from OK1DFC, a bunch of expensive coax, relays, and connectors. You already have a great I.F. strip :>) Then, if you are as old and out of shape as me, a 20-30 year old helper with endless enthusiasm. I have most of these things accumulated but I'm still not yet up and running again. See http://www.rcallen.com for pictures of my first efforts 30 years ago.
