Dave I have not heard anything sounding like that on 10GHz. I have heard occasional strong pings and fairly constant level signals drifting with Doppler - both of which I assume are due to aircraft.

Hi everyone, Worked EI3IX/EI7FAB/P today from Galway IO53PK or there abouts. They were in IO53LU Distance was about 50-60Km. Signals 9+ were exchanged. Tried FM on 10Ghz for the first time today,

Hello Chris - if you new to 23cm then *welcome* - it is one of the best microwave bands.. Keep the *rule of thumb* for any coax loss at 1dB or less - not sure of antenna prices in the UK but here in

Hello Chris, The WIMOs are quite pricey, but I've heard nothing but good said aboutthem. I use four 23 element Tonnas, but ran a single one for manyyears. They are a little fragile but have the

Hi Chris It all depends.... How much space do you have on your mast for the antenna? If it is limited then a single long yagi would be a good bet (eg the 67 ele Wimo/SHF or 55ele Tonna). If you have

with what beam and coax to use on the 23cm band Chris I use a Wimo 44 element on 23cms (and Wimo antennas on 70cm and 2m) and have found it very good in both performance and quality. Of course,

The same thinghappens with shacks when amateurs are on the air rather than gardening. It isjust as well overgrown trees are good supports for HF stealthdipoles. Thinking of weeding,I will be

Ecoflex 15 is very easy to handle and the loss is very nearly as good as LDF450. You will probably need a mast head pre-amp unless your coax run is very short. I use a 35 ele Tonna but I suggest you

Hi I have just put the 23cm unit into my IC910 and I need some help with what beam and coax to use on the 23cm band thanks Chris GM4YLN

Hi Andy We've just bought a shredder to carry out a similar operation. I've been really surpised at how much the bulk is reduced by shredding. It will be interesting to see whether the chipped wood

One disadvantge of maintaining a beacon on a remote site, is that every so often you have to go up there and clear away the foliage... This is what the Bell Hill site looked like after three years

Hi Dave Your nearest bcn on 24 GHz is probably GB3ZME inIO82RP. 1 watt PA, 10+10 slot. It got a bump during erection, so nominal freq.( 24048.910) has gone a bit AWOL - around 24,048.780 atpresent.

Hi Tony Depending on your dish, of course, I sight facingINTO the dish (much easier than peering from behind the dish). Don't TX yet, ofcourse !), but allow for magnetic variation. (about 4 deg. at
