renovated 1950s Johnson Viking 2 valve TX ..and got a AR88 ..must be getting old I guess……

@MWPirateFan Be interested in the details of the power out they use and antennas …been listening for many years and some are audible in east Essex during the day

[Steve @G4HTZ]

ON0HVL Beacon 24ghz signal into Kent 24ghz SDR this morning about 09.15

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g1dfl_pete @RFconsultantUK Well that was sort of the plan Pete ….hopefully there will still be some European stations with 23cms access in the future

[Steve @G4HTZ]

10ghz slot waveguide

[Steve @G4HTZ]

Received a slot for 10ghz from PE1RKI …20 slots per side….14.7 dbi apparently?? Make a nice beacon or general monitoring antenna

[Steve @G4HTZ]

Came back to X as not much of interest on blue sky

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@RFconsultantUK One day they will move out and peace will prevail …..but it is only a temporary reprieve as they will return one day armed with …..grandchildren !!!! Who can turn your house upside down within minutes of arrival …..shack time in retirement..forget that …😀

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g1dfl_pete Well hopefully my 24g transverter will return from Germany one day 😀

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@JbaG0 Yes …hopefully I will actually be able to turn up this year 😀

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g7soz @g1dfl_pete @G1PPA Thanks for information…sounds a promising location

[Steve @G4HTZ]

24ghz pre amp and adaptor just arrived from Netherlands from PA0PLY …better performance and cheaper than a KUHNE device …..can finish boxing up the 24ghz transverter

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g1dfl_pete @G1PPA Thanks Pete ….guess it’s where you can pull in safely…..apparent the Cambridge group use a place called worts causeway to the east of Cambridge…but only seems to be about 65m asl …I’m 89m here but hills to the west …..will take a drive out one day

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g7soz @g1dfl_pete @G1PPA Thanks Simon ….will take a look

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g1dfl_pete @G1PPA There’s a site a bit nearer near barkway along a road called the Joint which apparently is a reasonable site ….not sure to the west ….

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g1dfl_pete @G1PPA I was thinking Dunstable downs as a /P ….looked a good take off when I was last there a few years ago …about 1hr 30 from here

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@g1dfl_pete Probably have to go portable Pete ..would need to find a decent site around this way ….will hopefully get the dish up on mast sometime soon and see if I can hear CAM BED or PKT beacons from here

[Steve @G4HTZ]

@G1PPA @g1dfl_pete Ok cheers …will give it a go …
