[NLRS] 10 Ghz test this Sat.

[Baker, Donn B]

Hi Mike,
Bob has been planning on doing this (great minds, and all that).  There are problems.  He and I tested a couple of weeks ago after the Friday evening 10GHz net.  Too much leakage in the package.  Even at 200 yds, there was more leaking from the box that was coming out of the antenna w/70 to 80+ dB of attenuation.  The antenna was effectively down around -90 to -100 dBm.  Need to get to -130 to -140 dBm or so.   (I'm able to work signals weaker than the leakage.)

Last weekend, Bob indicated that he had a solution.

See you Saturday.
