Your 'web thing' looks very promising Robin, thanks for the effort on that. I like the Chat1/Chat2 approach in KST2me, i.e. all messages and filtered messages. I guess that can also be done with

Hi David, not currently. You could of course open two "tabs" in your browser, one for each band. Others have mentioned the "two bands" thing, I'll consider it, I am keen to keep the display simple

Ian's mention of gold leaf got me thinking. Assuming I could find a suitable size or surface treatment that would release easily, I wonder if I could make tiny gold-lined horns by

Many thanks Robin Very useful I may be being stupid, but is there any way of changing bands displayed without logging out and back in? One useful feature in KST2ME was being able to

How about using silver leaf ? Peter G3SMT -- Peter G3SMT

Aluminium foil will have a higher conductivity than gold and may be able to be stretched over the plastic. Kitchen foil shiny side out may do the job. Paul G8AQA

Happy with the 76+ GHz arrangements. It makes sense to me. 73 Pete GM4BYF -- vry 73 Pete GM4BYF

Yes, those parts used in G4EML's converter are still available! 73, Mike, G3LYP

Sam, A one day event would be nice. Good to see you and your good lady the other day. Best regards Colin de G8LBS Sent from Mail for Windows

Another gold plated project? -- Mike G0MJW

It would be worth a try. I don’t know anything about using gold leaf, does it bond together well to give 100% coverage? Colin G4EML

After sanding down the PLA, would there be any objection to burnishing directly with gold leaf? Skin depth in gold at 122GHz is about 0.2um, which is very similar to the thickness of gold leaf so it

Thanks Andy I’ve downloaded the respective file, now to look at the build. Regards Dennis G6YBC

The dish is about 110mm deep and the horn protrudes 5mm onto that. So the distance from horn to reflector is about 105mm. Colin.

Great stuff Andrew, that's what it's all about, in my opinion. Messing around with a mixer, cheap PLL LO and in my case an FT-817 for the IF was the "lightbulb" moment when I realised working on the

I think Scatterpoint will be interested in the details of that! Not really room for full tech articles in my 2 page column. Send it to editor@... and I'll rreference it in the column when it is

Nice work, what was the pproximate optimum distance from the brass feed, to the reflector? Paul G6UAJ

I think there are mixers in the chipbank that go to 2GHz+ In fact... IIRC... There was a 2.4GHz upconverter design doing the rounds a couple of years ago based on chipbank components. So could

How about a minimal working example receiver for 2.3GHz? Getting me an RX (of sorts) on 13 cms. Using cheap ADF4351 for LO on 1888 MHz; homemade (yes that’s tinfoil and garden wire!) bi-quad; mixer

With todays slightly warmer weather I have been doing some initial tests outdoors with the 3d printed and copper plated cassegrain reflector and 18" Edmund dish on 122GHz. The results look very
