I build all my own stuff for the microwave bands (well, actually
everything 50 MHz and up is homebrew here). Some of the equipment is
cobbled together with pieces from various places.
The last microwave thing I built from QST was the W1VT 10 GHz
transverter from 1993. I've built quite a few things from QEX since then
though. Now I look to DUBUS for sources of construction projects like
that. I doubt if QST is even going to publish construction projects
for the bands above 24 GHz.
