Two more Winona area amateurs got their feet wet on 10Ghz tonight.  Just prior
to the monthly meeting of the Winona Amateur Radio Club I set up portable with
200mW downtown on the back of the rover.  Another station setup across the
Mississippi in Wisconsin also in EN44 - for successful contacts on 5.7 and
10Ghz.  One of the participants is in high school.  The group had a great time
- all the stuff worked well - had a bit of freq drift on 10G for some
interesting tuning.  5.7 was awesome!  Any way was nice to see the interest -
one in the group has been an amateur for close to 50 years - never saw 10G
equipment before.  Hope we can get some more weak signal folks in the area -
never know  -
