[NLRS] Temporary RST 10GHz beacon

[Chris Cox]

I don’t know if anyone else has thought about this already but I remember my very first experience of narrowband 10GHz activity was back in the early ‘80s at the national RSGB rally/hamfest in London where there was a static display by members of the UK microwave group which had a homemade transverter system tuned to a beacon in the area.

I was thinking of the possibility of someone setting up a temporary 10GHz beacon somewhere in the Rochester area that we could tune our 10GHz dish rigs to at the Central States conference in the rover pound.

Seeing a real live example of equipment in use could be a great catalyst to get others interested in the band.

Mel, would you have thoughts on possible locations maybe a few miles away that would give good coverage of the conference site?
