Thanks for all the great input so far! Seems it's not such a quiet time after all! Keep it coming as anything that misses the RadCom deadline will get in to the Scatterpoint Activity report that I'll

Hi Julian. I would suggest you have a listen for the Reigate Hill beacon GB3SEE on 10368.850. That should be a good signal from North London. I can also go out to the North Downs at IO91SF if you

Hi John Having seen Peters reply I am also now have EME TX capabilities and have so far made 5 contacts in 5 countries using Q65 60 D or E Using a standard 1.2 metre offset dish and standard SPID

Over twenty years ago I built the above Transverter and it was tested at Martlesham Round Table. It has a Small dish on the output with a penny feed. (It has been in dry storage with my 13 CMs

The original pipe caps for the original G3WDG transverter and 001 multiplier were made by Cyril, G3VVB, in his workshop in the west country. We managed to find someone (apologies, forgotten the

GM John I have been  doing some 122GHz tests with G0EWN and G4APV; best dx so far is 12km. More signal is in hand but initial dish alignment in bright sunlight is the problem at present. We have

The Martlesham Organisers are looking at a possible one day event for 2022. Details will be announced when firmer arrangements have been made. Hope to see lots of you there. Sam, G4DDK

As some of you may have heard, the author of KST2ME, Bo, has said that no more license keys will be issued, once your current key expires, it is dead. If anyone has any specific features of KST2ME

They were made from 3/4 inch brass rod, I know because I made several hundred for Charlie. Initially, I sent them for silver plating, but later on Charlie found that this was not necessary.

Hi John, I've been blogging various bits of "stuff" at https://g1yfg.blogspot.com/ but nothing really complete yet. I hope to complete the final verison of the 13cm LNA at some point which may then

Hi John A fallow time of year! Making progress on 3cm EME – now 21# and 13 DXCC Slowly building a system for 3cm tropo/rain scatter from home – will be a 60cm dish and 3 watts output.

Hi, < https://wiki.microwavers.org.uk/G3WDG_Microwave_Designs > has the complete description. You should try if you get by with pipe end caps. The tuning

Brass would need to be silver plated in view of the poor conductivity of brass. 15 mm copper pipe caps adjusted to the required length should be quite adequate. Pipe cap filters can

I could turn you some up in brass ... sadly I can no longer silver plate as the fish tank full of cyanide has been deemed to be one the "you're not bringing that thing in the car" items that didn't

Ah, it's 22 years since I built mine. Thinking now, I remember they were "shiny" and felt heavier than their size suggested.

The dimensions are in the Microwave Handbook Vol 3 ...see attached 73

Apologies from me too – pull my head in and go back to what I am supposed to be doing. 73, Bob.

I seem to recall that during a component famine quite a few years ago, availablility was often quoted as 99 weeks. This appeared to be due to only having two character spaces to put the digits in.

Noel I am much relieved as I had indeed got the wrong end of the stick as a result of late at night misinterpreting "I have not had much feedback on the UKuG contest programme, apart from on events on

As mentioned before, and as someone who is actively building for 122 GHz ... my *only* reservation is that in my view, the intention to go out and make a contest attempt/entry should be announced
