Hi Lynn,
This could be a VERY well-timed question... Bob, W0AUS, and I will be
attending Microwave Update at the end of this week !  (In Seattle) If you
are ALSO going to be there, we should sit down at chat.  Maybe a little
easier to do that instead of e-mail.

Bob is the "grandfather" of 10GHz in this area.  He was on (with WBFM) a
couple of years before anyone else, and built from scratch the first SSB/CW
10GHz in the area; has provided constant encouragement; and is always
pushing us to do better (and move higher... He's had 24GHz WBFM, and now has
24GHz SSB/CW too.)

See you at Update !?
