@@va3elepeter You will never guess what's on the screen of my Autodesk Fusion CAD machine at this exact moment... I'm trying to work out how to make choke slots in the rotary faces of a traditional rotary w/g relay, but I have an idea using a sliding element with a linear actuator instead.
@radiok2ua really it was weird. In the beginning, just shortly after 8am, Tony was actually strongest even though humidity was quite high, over 80% and it had the cleanest cw tone way up around 30dB over s9. His signal.peaked +1 degree . Later we tried again to peak signals to work 47GHz, his signal was wide on 24 and it actually peaked -0.4degrees. I suspect that was due to the frost burning off and creating a duck low to the ground. Pointing up really nearly killed the signal
Excellent stuff! I'm getting set up for 24 and 47 from home in the hope of catching some brief ducting events. Neil G4DBN
You're a little far hihi.
Maybe we can persuade you to make some nice 47GHz Switches with WR19 flange footprints.

Holy cow! Huge signals! How much elevation on each end?
