Look forward to working you Eddie! I'll be QRV from home on both 13 and 3cm so hope there is a bit more activity on 3cms this month Last month Martin G3UKV won the 3cms open section with 3 QSOs with me a close second with 2 QSOs!! That's just taking the p**s ;-) 73

Eddie G0EHV
Hello,
WX looks to be kind for tonight so I’ll be /P tonight from IO94 on
13cms.
My KST is a bit intermittent but should be OK – hopefully!

Re: SMA / APC3.5 accessory part s earching
Martin - G8JNJ
Hi Dom,
I have used PGA 103+ at 5v with no problems for a HF active antenna and a broad band VHF UHF preamp. However they are not unconditionally stable at HF frequencies, and may oscillate themselves to death if they are not terminated with something like a 50 ohm load on the input and output. Mini-Circuits have produced an application note on the subject http://217.34.103.131/app/AN60-064.pdf Regards, Martin - G8JNJ www.g8jnj.webs.com

Re: SMA / APC3.5 accessory part searching
Hi Dave,
Yes this is this kind of tiny plastic toy I'm searching, I cannot afford to purchase a high end scope, I spent already all my money plus the ones of my wife into a brand new noise source! Lol... I looked ar Huber Shuner site without success, may be I was too quick, I'll once more. Bests 73's pf, F5BQP

Yes they're very useful, the ones I'm searching are plastic ones as I just described in a recent post to David. I also explained the reasons why I'm searching this. All the bests. Pierre-Francois, F5BQP

Re: SMA / APC3.5 accessory part searching
Hi David,
Thanks for your proposal, I appreciate VERY MUCH ! May be I can send you my personnal address off-line, my email is: pfmonet AT wanadoo DOT fr Let me explain why I'm searching this: During the EME2014 ( www.eme2014.com ) conference next August I'll come with my HP MMS 70k spectrum analyzer loaded with the NF software 70875A to do with my friend Sylvain F6CIS a Noise Figure measurement campain up to 24Ghz. To do so I sent on my own personnal budget a purchase order to Mercury Systems USA (formely Micronetics) for a brand-new Noise Source 5db ENR / 26Ghz ( http://rf.mrcy.com/datasheets/datasheet.php?t=noisesource&model=NS346AK ) and as you can imagine I would like to protect the connector from this new toy which will arrive here late May early June. In addition I have few other accessories I would like to protect. I've tried some wrench tools made in metal but these ones can destroy the connectors if you tork too hard the hex screws to maintain them, or if you tork too hardly the wrench itself. The plastic wrench offer a sort of tork limitation on the connector itself. For info to my knowledge Mercury (formely Micronetics) is the only manufacturer which offer 26Ghz sources at 5 to 8db ENR. I'd contacted Noisecom & Agilent and their 5db sources are limited up to 18Ghz. Their 26Gig ones are only 15db ENR. So Dave please contact me on my email not to poluate too much the reflector, but I wanted to inform the group the reson of my search. I hope to see the maximum of you in Brittanny during EME2014, all nights the bar is going to be open, and believe me in Brittanny they know also how to do some good beer!!! And for your spouses a nice visit program is organised, they will not have to support technical talks all the time!  Kind 73's to all of you. Pierre-Francois, F5BQP

Re: 10G personal Beacons and band plans ??

Look at your licence Ts and Cs section 2 schedule 2 p 23 That shows you where you can put unattended beacons. Not between 10125 and 10400MHz

10G personal Beacons and band plans ??
Brian Flynn GM8BJF
I am in the process of building a 10 G personal beacon to go at Chris Tran's GM3WOJ's location North of Inverness. He has a very good take off south and I plan to have about 1W into a small (30cm ) dish pointing south. His location is LoS to most of the major peaks in the Grampians so the possibilities for knife-edge scattering are good. Another possibility is aircraft scatter. It is unlikely to interfere with his operations as he is an HF operator. ;-)
(I will of course supply him a receiver to monitor it!) I am womdering about the dreaded bandplanning for this. I already have my own personal beacon on (and around!) 10368.080 MHz at my own QTH in Edinburgh but have noticed that some Personal beacons seem to be up at the top end of the one meg segment. Is there any guidance? I can be quite flexible about it as the Tx is synthesised. Any advice is welcome. 73s Brian, GM8BJF. Edinburgh

2016 - Geostationary Microwave Amateur Radio Transponders
M5AKA
Qatar’s Es’hailSat 2 satellite will provide the first amateur radio geostationary communications that could link amateurs from Brazil to India. The satellite is expected to launch by the end of 2016 and will be positioned at 26 degrees East. The uplinks of the two transponders will be in the 2.400-2.450 GHz and the downlinks in the 10.450-10.500 GHz amateur satellite service allocations.

You could ask on the Agilent forums, and hope someone from Agilent will know where they source them from - I doubt they would make them themselves. I believe Huber and Suhner do some press-fit SMAs, so there is no need for a torque wrench. They might be worth investigating too. Dave

SMA / APC3.5 accessory part searching
Hi the Gang,
I'm searching for a manufacturer which build an accessory for sma and APC3.5 nuts, to tork easily by hand the plug when you have to mount and dismount it very often. It's a sort of plastic wheel you place on the hexagonal nut of the plug. It exists also in alumina however the one I'm interested in is the plastic one not to scratch the nut. Do you know who's manufacturing such a tool? I need several of these to equip some noise sources. I would appreciate your help. Also if you're EME fan don't forget to register you to the EME2014, it's located just across the Channel in Brittanny at Pleumeur Bodou. www.eme2014.fr Best 73's to all of you -- Pierre-Francois, F5BQP
