At the 4 December 2003 meeting of the
SBMS, Dave, WA6CGR will talk about "Places in Southern California to contest
from". The SBMS meets at the American Legion Hall 1024 Main Street (south of the
91 freeway) in Corona, CA at 1900 hours local time on the first Thursday of each
month. Check out the SBMS web site at http://www.ham-radio.com/sbms/.

Last Meeting-. Dick, K6HIJ had a good general talk
about what test equipment the microwave ham needed to have on his bench using
$1000 as maximum funds available. Thanks Dick.. It was agreed to move the SBMS 2
GHz and Up contest to third weekend in May (15-16 May 2004). Trying to find a
weekend that would not have bad weather for the central and east coast
contesters and missing Mothers day and other holidays as well as other contests.
Welcome to new members, Scott Carpenter, K0SMC of Long Beach; Jack Dickinson,
N6PI of Santa Barbara; Alwyn Broaddus, K6EMC of Riverside; and David Pedersen,
N7BHC of Mentone. 27 people present.

Christmas get together- The 13th of December. The "Microwave Swap Meet" will
begin at 1:30 PM followed by drinks and general partying until dinner at 6:00
PM. I will provide the Turkey and everyone should sign up to bring an entree,
fixing's or dessert.

The directions are as follows: Get to the Harbor Freeway (110) and go south
to Pacific Coast Highway. Exit PCH and turn Left. Go under the Freeway and
continue East on PCH. Go past the First signal (Figueroa) to Wilmington Blvd.
(2nd Signal). Turn Left at Wilmington Blvd. (North) about three blocks, past Q
St. to 1646 Wilmington Blvd. I will try and arrange parking with the Church to
use one of their parking lots (more later). The phone number at the shop is
310-549-6622. Dave, WA6CGR

SBMS meeting parking- We have become a great number of members at meetings. I
had a talk with the Pastor of the church of which we use for parking on our
meeting night. He indicated that there was a problem with parking in his lot. He
said that he had given permission to a hospital group to park there. He
suggested that we park on the street and or in the lot across the street. He
indicated that he had permission to park his over-flow church folks in that lot.
The sign on the building shows: 1025 Main Street. MAIN STREET BISTRO. The sign
on the parking lot says: CLIN CHIROPRACTIC CARE

I told him we would put the info in our newsletter, but that it mite take a
month before everyone got the word. I think if we make every one park next to
the church building side of the church parking lot and the North side for his
group, this may work out. Dick, WB6DNX

Activity reported at the November SBMS meeting-
Dick, WB6DNX is working on a dual band feed; Chip, N6CA had recording of
contacts with Dave, WA6CGR through rain-scatter. Both stations were using omni

Off the Internet--

Hi all-I'd like to report what I believe to be a first for QSOs above 400GHz
here in the US. (DB6NT was

first on the "band" at 411GHz with a 50-meter QSO). On Nov 11, 2003 at 02:15z
WA1ZMS/4 worked W4WWQ/4 on a frequency of 403GHz over a distance of 0.521km.

W4WWQ/4 was located at: 37-21-14.1 79-10-13.6

WA1ZMS/4 was located at: 37-21-23.6 79-10-31.1

The weather at the time of the QSO was: Temp: 3.9C, Dew Point: 1.1C, Relative
Humidity: 82%, Station pressure: 1006mb. The weather conditions result in a
total atmospheric loss of 14.4dB per km!

Gear used for the QSO was the same basic gear used for our 241GHz QSOs last
year but this time with new 30cm parabolic dishes. The feeds used on the
parabolas are W2IMU horns designed for 241GHz, so the feed is over-moding and
thus not optimal on 403GHz. When colder and dryer winter WX arrives, we have
hopes of trying to break the 1km distance barrier. I hope to have photos and
.wav files posted at www.mgef.org sometime very soon.

Although any QSO above 300GHz is considered the same "band" by some, I would
think that a QSO in the 400GHz range would be of interest to several people
active on microwaves and just wanted to report it.

73, Brian, WA1ZMS/4

Hi all (again!)-The cold and dry WX was calling and we just had to try to
break our own World DX record of 11.4km on 241GHz. Here are the specifics of the
new claimed 34.9km record:

Date: Nov 14th, 2003 Time: 01:57z Distance: 34.9km

WA1ZMS/4 FM07fm 37-31-19.3N 79-30-14.4W

W4WWQ/4 FM07ji 37-21-14.1N 79-10-13.6W

The weather at the time of the QSO at the WA1ZMS/4 QTH: Temp: -3.3C, Dew
Point: -14.4C, Relative Humidity: 42%, Station pressure: 874mb The WX conditions
result in a total atmospheric loss of 0.673dB per km.

The weather at the time of the QSO at the W4WWQ/4 QTH: Temp: 3.3C, Dew Point:
-12.2C Relative Humidity: 31%, Station pressure: 992mb. The WX conditions result
in a total atmospheric loss of 0.820dB per km. The WX conditions being different
at each end of the QSO make for some interesting predicted signal margin
calculations. The actual measured signal margin on the WA1ZMS/4 end was as high
as 13dB. The wind was very strong at both locations and that made for some
signal fading. Photos and .wav file will be forthcoming. (My sincere apologies
as well to those on the reflector who may be tired of hearing about all these DX
records.)

73,Brian, WA1ZMS/4

Food for thought: Many guys out here have been brought into the microwave
ranks by the extra efforts of WA6CGR, N6XQ, W6DTA & KE6HPZ and others who
have made several "loaner" X-band rigs. These rigs have been used every year by
newcomers and invariably the newcomers have got bitten by the microwave bug. Our
increase to more than 60 active stations on x-band out here is a direct result
of these loaner rigs and the ever-increasing enthusiastic activity of
Microwavers. We just recently had an unscheduled "non-contest" Saturday contest.
Nine stations were on x-band from home and attempted to work each other.
Contacts were made out to 100 miles running omni antennas from these home
locations. Now others are going to get home stations & antennas up and
running. This approach really works. 73 Chip N6CA

From ARRL Headquarters Newington CT November 19, 2003

To all radio amateurs SB QST ARL ARLB065

ARLB065 FCC adds Part 15 spectrum at 5 GHz, turns down ARRL request

The FCC has made another 255 MHz of spectrum available in the 5.470-5.725 GHz
band for unlicensed Part 15 National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) devices,
including Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) devices. In a Report and Order in ET
Docket 03-122 released November 18, the FCC said it was taking the action to
alleviate crowding in existing allocations and to align U-NII bands in the US
with bands elsewhere in the world. The FCC turned down an ARRL request to keep
U-NII devices out of the 5.650 to 5.670 GHz segment to avoid interference with
the Amateur Satellite Service. Amateur Radio has a secondary allocation from
5.650 to 5.925 GHz.

"We are not persuaded that we should either add or modify our proposed rules
as requested by ARRL," the FCC said, adding that its dynamic frequency selection
(DFS) and transmitter power control (TPC) requirements "will in fact protect
amateur operations," although they're not specifically designed to do so.

Commenting in the proceeding September 3, the ARRL expressed concerns about
"potential aggregate interference" from U-NII devices to Amateur Radio space
stations in the 5.650-5.670 GHz band. The League did support of other elements
of the FCC's proposals, however, including a power limitation of 1 W EIRP, and
said hams were willing to cooperate with the RLAN industry on other
sharing-related issues.

In its comments, the League said the amateur allocation at 5.650 to 5.925 MHz
"has been subject to 'death by a thousand cuts.'" The FCC's most recent action
leaves Amateur Radio with "relatively uncompromised access" to a 25-MHz segment
at 5 GHz--5.825 to 5.850 GHz, the ARRL said. That includes a 20-MHz-wide
satellite downlink segment, 5.830 to 5.850 GHz. Federal government users are
primary over the entire band.

The Commission said that because of the large amount of spectrum it's adding
to the 300 MHz of spectrum already available for U-NII devices, it expects the
density of devices to be relatively low. "We believe that this low density of
devices coupled with our technical requirements will provide adequate protection
to all incumbent systems in the band, including amateur satellite uplink
systems," the FCC said.

The R&O culminated a 2002 Petition for Rule Making from the Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA), now known as the Wi-Fi Alliance.
NNNN

Gidday All, can someone please "Post via the Reflector" (in order to minimize
MULTIPLE responses/Emails) the SSB Calling Frequency used in your 76 GHz Band?
What IF's are mostly used on this Band? Are US (rest of the world) Amateurs who
are currently using 76 GHz going to have to move UP to 77/78 GHz as per this
Website? www.iaru-rl.org/pdf/vhf-apr-2001.pdf.

Reason - I have stumbled onto a considerable amount of surplus SPECTRAPOINT
2000 RF gear for LMDS on 28 GHz. The Company SPECTRAPOINT...has now ceased
trading hence the SURPLUS. LMDS is a Broadband Wireless Network that is just
starting to gain popularity around the globe. This gear includes many 28 GHz Tx
and Rx pole mounted units (requiring L Band IF In & 10 MHz Ref) and fitted
with integrated Andrews Sector Antenna's having about 21 dBi of gain. The RX
units have a Model Nr RX2000-28-xx. The RX/TX blocks contain several pcs of what
should be R Band WG fittings: WR-28. In EACH of these TX/RX units there is/are a
26-27 GHz Oscillator block (4 inch cube) module made by MICROSOURCE INC. I
cannot locate any Spec's on these specific blocks but a little "story" on their
development can be found here...-http://www.microsource-inc.com/ptsynth.pdf.
They are parallel programmed & lock back to 10 MHz Reference. The Tx units
contain a lovely little UP-Converter module made by Nanowave Technologies on a
heavy brass substrate. It is fed with an unknown L Band IF (900-1400 MHz) via
RG174 or similar. This is mixed with the 26/27 GHz Osc injection and is coupled
directly to the WR-28 WG towards the Antenna which looks like a Horn. The module
Specs shows it delivers +31 dBm @ 26-28 GHz. or more than 1 Watt!!! Here's the
Spec's: http://www.nanowavetech.com/DataSheets/Subsystems/LMDSUC.pdf

There are also many little 10-12 inch or so dishes made by Bosch/Richardson's
which although they look Paraboloidal (complete with Radomes) are probably
Offset (unfortunately) because they are fed inside the radome from underneath
rather than Prime Focus. These dish units require 15V @ 2 Amps & have "F"
connectors for RX/TX Disable so I'm not sure what's happening with these. Maybe
RX only?? / They have a Model No RTU2000-28-2 My thinking is (subject to the
programming issues/difficulties) that these 26-27 GHz Oscillator modules may be
useful as Injection Oscillators or Signal Sources x3 for the 76-78 GHz band.
Ditto the TX UP CONVERTERS (Mixers) on 76-78 GHz via a times 3 multiplier AND OR
maybe even 24 GHz but the latter needs to be tested. Any thoughts/interest?
Cheers. Alan - VK3XPD Melbourne, Australia.

Alan-This is a topic that has come up before and the short answer is that
there currently is no agreed upon calling frequency in that band. Part of the
problem may stem from the fact there is no globally agreed frequency as of yet
either, and because of that people have made the best use of what parts they
have on hand when building equipment.

Here are some of the frequencies that have been used by various hams on the
band:

80.640GHz (Proposed)

76.032GHz (French freq, but off-limits in the USA)

75.976GHz (UK freq)

78.192GHz (Some Northeast USA hams)

75.860GHz (My old WA1ZMS freq)

It looks like some of us will have to "move" if we wish to arrive on a common
frequency.

I'm currently working on updating my gear, but my motivation is technical in
nature. I'd like to be near the top of the band were the oxygen loss is lower,
and I'd like my frequency reference to be something that can be directly
synthesized from a 10MHz OCXO. (ie: 110, 112, 115MHz etc...) I can get orders of
magnitude better phase noise and stability over a VHF crystal oscillator even if
it's phase locked. But that's my take. Others will have input as well. 73,
Brian, WA1ZMS/4

More from the net--

From the unofficial results I calculated the following interesting
numbers.

East coast: Average score: 13,471

Median score: 9,204

% of stations as 10G and UP: 35%

# of stations: 49

points per station*: 275

West coast: Average score: 49,400

Median score: 33,230

% of stations as 10G and UP: 20%

# of stations: 64

points per station*: 519

Non-coast: Average score: 20,235

Median score: 15,506

% of stations as 10G and UP: 18%

# of stations: 39

points per station*: 519

Key: east coast is regions 1, 2, 3, 8, 15

west coast is regions 6, 7, 20

Non-coast is regions 0, 4, 5, 9

(*) - This was calculated by dividing the average score by # of
participants

What does this mean? Well for one thing it means that this region of North
America kicked butt! And it's not just that the average score is high because of
the Mexico operations, but the median score is also way higher here. However, we
are sorely lacking in the number of 10 GHz and up entries! The east coast guys
have over 1/3 of stations on 24 GHz or higher. We could gain many points by
adding on 24 GHz to our operations. (Assuming we learn to work that band well,
and we may well be behind in that respect). In terms of efficiency, we do just
as well as the mid-west guys, which given the geography makes some sense.
However with the Mexico shots, we could have done considerably better by better
roving by more stations.

Just thought those might be some interesting figures...-Tony KC6QHP (who got
a dismal score this year :)

Dear All, The UP part of the contest is everything above the 10ghz band. For
that reason, in terms of score, being on any one of the higher bands puts you in
the UP category. However, your total score is entered from all bands- your 10
GHz score is added to your, say, 24GHz score. So, pick your band and get on the
air. Even a 1km contact can put you in the UP category. At this point we
probably have 6 or more stations on narrow band 24ghz, a dozen perhaps that can
do 24 wide band, and several working in San Diego who are on 47ghz. Not sure
about the higher bands. If you are interested in pursuing the higher bands. Get
your radio together and then test how well it works before the contest. DON'T GO
OUT WITH A COMPLETELY NEW RADIO! Do a can't fail short distance QSO then go for
the gold. Figure out how to know what frequency you are on out in the field and
if you are really transmitting. Finally- there are lots of pieces and parts
around and there are a number of labs that can test up to 78 GHz for frequency,
power and spectrum. Noise figure at least to 26 GHz is also available. If you
can build it- it will work.

Good luck-and let people know what you are working on and what you need help
with. We want you on the air as much as you do. 73, Doug K6JEY

At the risk of repetition here is my opinion on the original list of
suggestions:

1) Don't mess with the basic 10-Up contest as "it ain't broke". Improvements
in scoring to encourage higher freq. activity is fine.

2) More microwave band activity is needed so look at similar contests, i.e.
maybe a 2-to-6 (GHz) contest similar to the 10-Up?

3) Airborne category...well OK but scored as a separate class.

4) Microwave repeaters.... OK but again a separate class.

5) Satellite and EME. I don't think they should be added. EME Contesting
already exists to stimulate activity and I think it is not really compatible
with the distance home-portable-rover character of the current contest. Ditto
for satellites. BTW contesting is somewhat frowned down on satellite operation.
If there is a microwave EME or Satellite Contest...they should be separate. They
are generally home-based operations (with a few DX-pedition and portable
exceptions). Really hard to compare terrestrial with space-born scores (i.e. try
WAS on 10 GHz without either).

6) Discussion about regional differences (terrain and climatic) ...goes with
the territory! Always has. Live with it!

I live in a mountainous state (size of 2-1/2 times Texas) with two or three
micro waver population. I'll not win any contest with my local
population...ever! Most of our mountains are only accessible by helicopter at
$800/hour! If I want to "win", then go where the maximum odds are for the
contest weekend. The oil and airline industry need your dollars...LOL!
Otherwise, operate the best you can where you are (accept the local
challenge...make microwaves!). Now maybe more weekends is not a bad idea...maybe
one weekend a quarter (Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter)...somewhere that will be a
good time for someone. Maybe chose 3 out of 4 per year for the cumulative (your
choice).

7) How about an APRS location spotting class of operation (re: Ev Tupis)?

My two-cents!

73, Ed - AL7EB 50 MHz - 24 GHz 2m-EME AO-40 sat.

I've been reading this interesting thread and there's two themes
emerging:

o Increasing activity

o Changing the scoring (presumably to increase activity)

IMHO, at the end of the day, it boils down to the simple question of how to
increase activity. Granted, having a contest makes a lot of activity, but only
for two weekends a year. What about the other 50 weekends? Are contests the only
way to generate activity? I like the idea proposed by w3iy and w3hms about
having a Microwave Activity Day on the first Saturday of each month. This is not
a contest but a day where it is well known that people will be dragging their
radio out to those hills, beaches, mountaintops, maybe even planes! Since there
is no contest, we don't have to worry about how many grids a rover covers. We
don't have to worry about the northeast always winning. (BTW, if you go by the
rumored scores for the September VHF contest on the NEWS site, it looks like a
couple of rovers in California came out on top this time, not someone in the
northeast.) We don't have to worry about whether transmitting our location
digitally is self-spotting. Essentially, we don' need no steenkin' rules to tell
us what we can or can't do. What we do have to worry about is simply getting out
there, operating, making some noise and having fun! This equates to activity in
my book.... And, we've just taken care of 12 of those 50 weekends. The remaining
38 sound like a good time for those honey-do's and to build the gear to drag out
on the first Saturdays. 73, Mark, N2MH The Lighthouse Rover

(above) Dick, K6HIJ presenting his talk on simple and old test equipment
techniques at the November meeting.

Notes from Dick Kolbly, K6HIJ's talk on use of older test equipment at the
November SBMS meeting.

Assuming you only had $1000 to set up your shop for microwave measurements,
what would you want to have?

Some sort of voltage measuring meter, DVM and an analog meter. It is hard to
make measurements tuning up something if the meter is always switching scales
and auto-ranging. This is where an analog meter is good to have. DVM's tend to
have problems on electronic hilltops.

Some sort of variable voltage power source to supply B+ or 12v +/- to the
item under test.

Some way to measure power. The old HP 430 power meters were good if you are
good at making "quick" measurements. The 431 and later are better with being
stable for periods of time. This is good for the milliwatt range but you need to
have some attenuators that can handle some power to make "watt" level
measurements. You may want to have some not so accurate attenuators to handle
the high power levels and a "good" set of attenuators when you want to make more
accurate measurements.

A variable "IF" frequency attenuator is nice to have if you need to set a
random signal level to match something with to get within a ballpark.

A signal source is good to have. Having a set of the older boat anchor HP 61x
series from 2 to 11 GHz is good for what most of us want to check amplifiers or
cheap way to check out receivers. Their stability isn't good for narrow band
work, but useful. Having a 1000 Hz AM modulated signal source can be useful in
that you can use a good coupler (good directivity), crystal detector, and an HP
415 VSWR meter (really a tuned audio amplifier with a meter and attenuator) and
measure return loss or VSWR of something. With a short and a good dummy load,
one can calibrate the 415 for return loss. Then putting the item under test at
the end of the coupler, you get some idea of the match of the item. Add a double
stubbed tuner and one can get a better feel for the impedance of the item. This
set up is a reflectometer, a previous version of what is now a network analyzer.
The signal source is single frequency so you have to move frequency and make
another measurement. If you have later signal generators that provide frequency
verses voltage output now you can with a plotter make swept frequency
measurements. Even later equipment you can display either linear or smith chart
impedance pictures.

Having some means to measure frequency is good to have. Older "wavemeters"
are good since they cover a wide frequency range. At least the HP units did. The
old military wavemeters usually had a limited range of coverage, but still
useful. An HP 5245 is easy to come by at swap meets for twenty bucks. Plug-ins
extend the range of these up to 12 GHz. Frequency accuracy isn't top of the line
laboratory, but useful. Measurements don't have to be made in coax. Waveguide
equipment is just as good as the coax kind but takes a little more bench
space.

Having a DC coupled oscilloscope is nice to have when checking signals in
amplifiers and rigs.

An 1152 MHz source that has lots of harmonics is nice to have when checking
out transceivers on various ham bands. Even running it into a crystal detector
mount and generating the waveguide band of frequencies is useful weak signal
source on a hilltop to check that the rig is working. Some of the Qualcomm
boards were good for that.

Chip, N6CA suggested that taking initial voltage and current measurements on
an item under test is useful as the tune up or tweaking process goes on.

Thanks Dick for the talk.

73's Bill

Hi, this is for everyone that got the HP F1064A dc/dc converters. I took some
measurements for hole needed to access VR1 on the board. This is the pot that
controls the output voltage. I made a little sketch of where the hole needs to
be made (at least on the one I took apart) in the case. I have not tried this
yet on my other units. Hopefully, I can drill the rest tomorrow. When you make
the hole, keep in mind that there is a transformer close by (about .150" away)
and you will need to be careful when drilling. Keep the drill bit size under
.250" and you should not hit the transformer when using a drill press. Also, if
your converter stops working, there is a fuse on the input side. Unfortunately,
it is inside the box instead of in the lighter plug. Somebody did not think
ahead on that one.

Hope this helps, Chris n9rin

Hmmmm. I think a safer procedure would be to saw the case open along the seam
(Dremel Moto-Tool, or similar) and gain access to the fuse and the pot. The case
can then be drilled for pot-access (that sounds funny), and the fuse re-located
to a more sane location. I wonder how many of these things get tossed out
because of a blown, non-accessible fuse?? What a devious, profit-making
scheme!
