Hi folks,
I have had a number of replies to my first post, thanks guys, let me
see how can I reply...
Gerald...g'day, I see you're a stones through away, just checking out your
QRZ.COM entry, you are definitely a well travelled fellow, I've been in
Electronics Manufacturing for 30 years myself but only once got a chance to
trip overseas, 10 days in China at Tianjin Beijing it was a great experince.
Nice to be here too.
Thomas...thanks for your kind note, Amateur Radio is definitly a great medium
it is truly amazing that the amateur service world wide have so many Radio
Bands allotted to us for our use from Long Wave to Microwave and with the Solar
Maximum coming up in a few years time its good to have a operational HF Station
one can make some great contacts, all I can say is go for it!
Stan...Hi, thanks for the info on Down East Microwave, it's been a couple of
years since I last visited the web site, I have purchased a few items from them
in the past they definitely make some nice "toys"...I'll keep them in mind. As
for Stephen N5AC web site, very interesting indeed I've already let a couple of
friends of mine know about this one...thanks again.
Bill...Thanks for pointing out the A32 Synthesizer, this is quite interesting
and requires some futher looking into, I'm slowing building up my 10GHz station
starting with kits supplied by Mark VK5EME at Minikits and with a 20 Watt TWT I
got from DEM I hope to do some interesting things!
David...Yes KUHNE Electronics make some very very fine equipment, a little
expensive, but the quality is through and through, I purchased a 8.4GHz Pre-Amp
from them for the 8.4GHz receiver, it's the key part of this project and the
most expensive part, so I'm really looking after this device. If I had the
money I'd be interested in a few more items!!
Jim L...There is a handful of Amateurs that have quite sussessfully detected
the Telemetry Signals from both NASA and ESA space probes currently roaming
space, the idea is to simply detect these feably weak signals, thats the aim,
trying to copy telemetry and things like pictures is a long shot considering
the digital nature of transmissions these days.
If you visit this site, http://www.uhf-satcom.com/ or more directly this link,
http://www.uhf-satcom.com/mro/ you will see what I attempting to do, there is a
Block Diagram showing the basic system setup required, I have pretty much
everything I need I've just got to put it together. Joseph Ruggieri often has
microwave itms for sale on eBay thats where I got my "Brick" from
