Jeff Wadsworth, KI5WL, Easy 10 GHz Transceiver without Unobtanium!
A basic 10 GHz transceiver is easy to build. This presentation describes where
to get the
materials, and how to do it quickly and simply. No unobtainium or million
dollar lab
equipment is required. Several of us in the Arizona Microwave Group built this
200 mW
rig and have used it for contacts as far as 525 km, and then upgraded the basic
configuration for more performance. I look forward to seeing you on X band this
fall, we
like more microwavers!
Mike Kana, AA9IL, Newbie Explorations at 24 and 47 GHz
This talk covers my experiments to activate 24 and 47ghz including parts
scrounging and
equipment testing.
Ed Krome, K9EK, Homebrew VHF amplifiers – modern style
In keeping with the Hamvention® "Makers" theme, hams have always been builders,
fixers, re-purposers. Homebrew is simpler and more interesting than ever.
Amplifiers
have always been a favorite project. Old tech: tube-type VHF amplifiers. Large,
hot,
dangerous, challenging to build and tune. Modern marvel: high tech, high gain,
high
power solid-state devices that are easy to use and forgiving, and cheap. And
circuit
boards readily available. Describe with show and tell: 6M, 2M and 432
amplifiers; 1watt
in, 500+ watts out, 1 transistor.
Zack Widup, W9SZ, Building 47 GHz Transverters From Scratch
Tony Emanuele, WA8RJF, Assembling a 10 GHz Portable Station
Terry Price, W8ZN, K8GP - VHF Contesting Run Amuck! How the K8GP (Grid Pirates)
Crew built their latest contest super-station
Alternate: Dave Sublette, K4TO, A 5760 Amplifier project
