[MAMS] Fwd: 10 GHz Slot Antenna Plot

[Scott]

WA2VOI did a nice job on our 10 GHz antenna (24 slot waveguide) for our 
beacon project here in Eau Claire...
Attached is the return loss plot.  -10 dB is 2:1 SWR.  The lower the 
return loss, the better the SWR.  The antenna has a return loss of 
almost -29 dB near our proposed frequency (10368.135 MHz).  That is an 
SWR of 1.08:1, VERY acceptable!  :D  The only parts I need to acquire 
now is the power supply components and keyer chip (a whopping $10).  We 
hope to have it on the air by this Fall at 500 mW output and up around 
80 feet from EN44ex.
