Braved the storm this afternoon to do some 24GHz (12.5mm wavelength) #MicrowaveRadio #AmateurRadio.

One contact made with Pete G1DFL over a 24KM path on #SSB and #DStar. 59+20dB both ways.

#Icom #IC705 IF and #Wavelab based transverter & 1.5w PA into a 30cm Andrew dish.

1.5w x 34.4dBi = 4131w ERP!

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

Did some #10GHz #MicrowaveRadio #HamRadio today! Heard 4 or 5 stations, but no one heard me. Need to investigate the transmit side, but still had fun! #AmateurRadio #AmateurFunk #HamR

I'm interested in how you've got the dish etc mounted. My 3cm transverter is nearly finished, if it works the next step is how to feed and mount the dish.
