I have a 10ghz beacon on the air in EN57vi at 200mW with a 32 slot antenna. 
Kind of a long shot, but the antenna is installed in a very high location 
with a 270+ degree veiw of Lake Superior. 10368.315 +/- Mhz..I have heard it 
easily from EN66dl via rain and snow scatter. Good Luck de N8PUM Brandon
