Abstract
A procedure for observing the Sun and Moon near new moon at wavelength s 0.87-8.6 mm is briefly described. The measured ratios of their brigh tness temperatures are presented. The choice of the new Moon as the so urce of a reference spectrum is substantiated. The resulting spectrum of the quiet Sun is close to linear, and agrees well with submillimete r solar observations and most absolute measurements at millimeter wave lengths.
