Well, it turned out to be a really nice day in Redcliffe and the event was enjoyed by ten participants who had working 10 GHz stations, plus a goodly number of other interested folk.
Receivers were tested by evaluating SINAD when listening to a locally generated weak signal over a 30 metre path, and transmitters were evaluated by measuring the power captured by a small horn antenna over the same path length. A huge vote of thanks has been given to Geoff VK4KJJ for developing the measurement systems in use on the day, and for generally promoting the event! Thanks as well to RADARC for hosting this microwave day, and for organising catering as well.
Thanks too to all the fellows (plus a couple of ladies) who came to contribute to the enjoyment of the day!
Results of the tests and measurements will initially be posted on the BVHFG web pages, after they have been prepared for such presentation by Geoff.
Cheers to all!
