Contest Exchange
Ray James <gm4cxm@...>
I'm looking forward to the contest on Sunday but consider the need for
a serial number within the exchange could be reviewed in future? The basis for my conclusion is: 1. The scoring is based on points per Km so the qso count does not come into the equation. 2. Some folk (including myself) may prefer the mystique of not knowing how well/bad they are doing in relation to others! 3. Exchange of calls, signal report and locator only could possibly encourage more non-contest participants to come on and give points away. 4. Exchange of the above would lead to shorter contacts and more time to find a new contact on that band or more time to qsy to another band. Just a thought. 73 de Ray GM4CXM

UKuG Proceedings 2005-6
Peter Day <microwaves@...>
To all UKuG members:
I have just collected the Proceedings book from the printers today and will be bringing 100 copies along to the Microwave Round Table at RAL in just over a week's time. I have more but intend to sell these by post to other members who cannot get to RAL. The print run was limited so it's a matter of "first come, first served"! The price at RAL will be £5 a copy, a little more than last year due to increased printing costs. The book will also soon be available by post but, as I have yet to cost out the postal charges, all of which have been raised by the Post Office this month :-( , you will have to wait a few days for details. You may, of course, email me right away to be put on the list for a reserved copy and I'll let you know the amount to send as soon as possible. I already have around a dozen people on the list. I'm quite delighted with this year's edition and wish to thank Steve, G4KNZ, for putting it together so well. I would also like to thank all the people who contributed articles to it. Without them there would be no Round Table meetings and therefore no "Proceedings". The contents of this year's Proceedings are listed below. Best wishes, Peter, G3PHO UKuG Proceedings 2005-6 Contents ================================= G3PHO Forward G3PHO UK Microwave activity in 2005 G4DDK A modern 23cm band transverter module G8UBN New Microwave Transverter Concepts G0RRJ Home construction of a 5.7GHz Transverter G3XDY Mute sequencer circuit for the Ionica PA G4EAT Building & Operating a 24GHz Home Station W2PED Care and Feeding of the mm-TECH 24 GHz Amplifiers WA1ZMS Millimeter-Wave LO References & Phase Noise Considerations WA1ZMS A Primer on mm-Wave Multipliers and Mixers WA1ZMS An Example of Gear for the 241GHz Amateur Band WA1ZMS mm-Wave DX a-la 'ZMS G3XDY 28/144MHz Transverter and Station Controller G4FRE Digital control of surplus oscillators G0MRF A Modern Low Noise Preamp for 435 MHz (and 1.3GHz) G3XDY Martlesham 2005 Receiver NF Results G3LTF How to Build Large dishes for 432 to 3400 MHz G4NNS Getting things into focus G4NNS Antenna Test Range Results R.A.L.

Peter Day <microwaves@...>
Hello UKuG members:
I've just posted Scatterpoint today. The paper versions went out by First Class post or Airmail at 1pm local time while the email version was sent between 710 and 7.20pm, a few minutes ago. If you do not receive your email newsletter within the next 24 hours just wait awhile, say until Sunday evening, before emailing me for a repeat posting as emails with attachments can sometimes get delayed in cyberspace :-) 73 Peter, G3PHO Scatterpoint Editor
