It's the EU digital modes (not just FT8, any MGM) on Wednesday 18th April 2022 from 17:00 to 21:00 UTC. Will anyone be taking part again? I'll have a look round the usual frequencies. Dave (G0DJA) IO9

Up until a couple of weeks ago my last activity on 6cm was 38 years ago. Back then the value of RS on 3cm was regularly demonstrated working G3JVL & G3YGF as I lay under their path when I lived in Ham

Hi All I have retrieved all the intact ex 5.8GHz link large 'WiFi' antennas and have just finished testing them. I got a couple of the smaller antennas to investigate too. Most of the large antennas w

Sad news. I bought many an interesting bit of kit from Birkett's. I remember happening to pass his shop on a Saturday late afternoon. Although closed, I saw John loading kit for a rally the next day,

This is described as a THz laser, covering 0.3 to 3 THz. Personally I would consider it a maser, not a laser. Apparently It's tunable over 120 frequencies. https://www.mwrf.com/technologies/systems/ar

Can anyone point me in the direction of a Low Noise preamp for 3cm? I need coaxial input and output. Paul G8AQA

I've treated myself to a very nice BNIB 60cms Andrews dish from a 24GHz P2P system. It has a rear mounted ODU from which I have removed the feed arrangement, its two arms tuned to the separate RX and

I have gained a Rubidium Source, it's a Traycor 304DR. I've tried looking for information about on the web it without success. The only information I found was that Traycor merged into BAC many moons

Yesterday I ventured out to Butser Hill with my new CBBN 10GHz transceiver set up, along with a similar Wavelab module arrangement for 24GHz. The main purpose was to test on DATV, but first of all I u

Sunday is the first 24/47/76GHz Contest for 2022. I will correlate activity here, and put a full list out on Saturday eve. Callsign: G8CUB/P Locator: IO92CL12, then IO92… Bands: 24, 47, 76GHz Times: 1

Don't know from who on Epay i got these from but they look the job and give 8 volts and crater at 600mA, not a problem in most cases but when it feeds a -ve voltage generator like the ICL766x then the

After initial success and seeing 0.5W out of this board I continued testing beyond a dummy load. Knowing the PA had no output circulator I fitted one (Marked 10GHz and measuring 52ohms in and out) bef

Hi, So, as you may know, I have "some" PCBs for Maarten, PA0MHE's plugin for the Wavelab transverter boards. I have successfully stuffed some boards on my pick and place machine, including the vast ma

Hi all, I need a attenuator chip, 100w, between 6 to 10 dB attenuation. Any advice where to get one? Cheers. 73, Maximo M0HAO

I was getting ready to operate on the 10GHz contest tomorrow and thought that I had better checkout The KST thing ..which I have to say I really don't like but amidst the chaos you can sometimes find

This just appeared from beaconspot It was some while ago Why should it have popped up now? Andy www.g4jnt.com ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: beaconspot.uk <admin@...> Date: Mon, 9 May 20

Hello all, I'm planning to install first 3cm beacon at KM69 which will be the first in TA. I already made the beacon side with vhfdesign's pll kit and a 2w PA. Now all I need is an antenna. I already

Hi Nick, Long time no speak - Been very busy with work but been noticing your activity on 3cm...Let me know if you ever want a test from my /P above the CSB beacon cluster. Think I should be able to w

DB0GHZ from JO34WE is 579 direct on about 87 degrees (south of normal) and almost as strong from 170 degrees. Also getting a big signal from PI7ASM, but no sign of OZ/SM/LA or any other EU beacons. Or

Much enjoyment, I managed a few contacts on 9cm and a few on 3cm. As expected, anything without KST was difficult, but for a few (brief) moments I was able to get a connection on Clee and make some co
