As Jon described, the snow scatter contacts were great fun.
I set up my transverter on the bed and pointed a 21dB horn out of a
south-facing window. It does not have any view whatsoever other than the
side of my neighbour's house, however, I thought I'd see how the house
would act as an initial scattering medium. It worked well!
Whichever way I pointed the horn made no appreciable difference to signal
strength, so I think I have found a way to get out from home on 10GHz.
I recorded the contacts on a tape-recorder but have not yet listened to
how it sounds. I will try and get a copy of the recording up on the
webserver.
