Happy New Year and many DX contacts in 2012!

Starting New 24GHz Project!

I am going to assemble new 24GHz transverter and a small 24GHz beacon. Here are the parts that I have collected so far:

THALES transverter unit

ELCOM Synthesizer (upper-side L.O. injection)

Rear view of the synthesizer

Frequency Multiplier (x2), 1mW out

Microsource Synthesizer

(driven by YIG)

Identical synthesizer outside of its case

(this one will control the 24GHz beacon)

Small PA for the 24GHz beacon



New Paddle

Finally found good iambic paddle, suitable for microwave operations from portable locations
