#24ghz — Public Fediverse posts

Had no luck in the Microwave Contest on Sunday, so went out with a mate today to test my 24GHz gear to make sure it still works. 59+10dB both ways over a rain soaked 31km path between Stanage Edge and the Cat & Fiddle. #PeakDistrict #MicrowaveRadio #uWaves #Microwaves #AmateurRadio #AmateurFunk #24GHz

Is an isolator overkill when measuring a Gunn diode oscillators output power?
Not even the frequency, just power.

Made my first proper contact on 24GHz this afternoon! 108KM through fog! I gave him 57 and he gave me 59 on SSB :) #MicrowaveRadio #AmateurRadio #AmateurFunk #HamRadio #HamR #RadioContest #uWave #24GHz

So very used #OCXO oscillator cans from ebay.
They ware cheap and most of them should work.
Plenty of projects of mine and from friends will have nice, stable and cheap reference clocks.
And if there are duds, I get to pull one to bits or possibly learn how to repair OCXO's.

I plan to use one as a refclock for a homebrew signal generator, when I repair and re-home it to a better case.
And for a #24GHz project.
