[AReU] July meeting

[w4tas]

I have been on a quest to better equip myself for some microwave testing. 
Even though I have been working on the kitchen counter, I have managed
to do quite a bit of interesting work. The shop is still a mess and I have 
not had the heart to take on the clean up totally but I am working on it a little bit 
at a time. 

I have also obtained a few interesting pieces of test equipment that I 
would like to show you guys. 

I plan on bringing some of this newly acquired equipment for a demonstration 
at the next AREU meeting. 

Some of the items are a Marconi frequency counter good to 26.5 GHz, HP432A 
power meter good to 18 GHz, HP436A power meter good to 18 GHz, TPI synthesized 
signal generator good to 4.5 GHz with calibrated attenuator (works from USB port on 
laptop), various attenuators for use to accurately measure high power 
equipment and a couple of transceivers for the 10 GHz ham band. 

I will set them up and we will measure parameters such as frequency and power 
output. The operating frequency will be around 10365.1 MHz. 

I have more stuff but enough is enough. I will cover the other equipment in 
later meetings. 

Hope to see you guys at AREU!!!!
