A revised 23cm bandplan is set to be debated at the IARU Region 1 General Conference in Vienna this month, with a small but significant footnote that moonbounce operators should note. The proposal
The FCC has opened 2.4GHz and 5.7GHz to direct-to-device satellite proposals — bands UK microwave operators also hold on a secondary basis. The interference risk today is minimal, but the regulatory precedent isn’t,
A practical walkthrough for installing the SRTM Path Profile utility, downloading the correct terrain tiles, and generating reliable path plots between two radio sites. Ideal for helping microwave enthusiasts produce accurate terrain profiles
An LNA can cut your 24GHz noise figure significantly — so why did it only buy me 2–3dB of real SNR on tropo? The answer was in the troposphere, not the receiver.
A step-by-step guide to building the G3PHO dual-mode feedhorn for 10GHz using copper plumbing fittings, with the SMA coax-fed version and a calculator to check your dish’s f/D.
