The 2 Jan 1997 meeting will have Frank, WB6CWN talk about maps for microwave field activites. SBMS meets at the American Legion Hall 1024 Main Street Corona CA at 1930 hours local time. Hope you had happy holidays in 1996 and the begining of 1997.
Last meeting Chuck, WA6EXV and Bill, WA6QYR talked about what they have learned about getting on 24 Ghz with the 18 inch offset DSS antenna and gunnplexers. A number of questions were answered and there were 3 stations which had contacts at the close of the meeting, W6OYJ, K6HLH, and WA6QYR. Thanks guys. During the November SBMS 24 Ghz event K6OW won 1st place followed by N6CA in 2nd. The Qualcomm hardware brought to SBMS during the November meeting by Kerry N6IZW has been looked at and compared to the documentation, but little matches. Email to Kerry has learned that some of the boards still need to be documented for ham work. The boards Dick, WB6DNX has maybe usefull. The more available boards are what can be ordered from Kerry for the 10 Ghz rig as noted in the list in last months newsletter. The box of tubes maybe useful if you have an HP608 or similar signal generator. Let Bill, WA6QYR know your needs or sometime during the holiday Bill may get time to make a list of tubes in the box for publication in the next newsletter. Some of the one of a kind stuff will be at the January meeting for pick up by members- you can figure out what it is and how to use it. 27 people present.

SOME EMAIL ADDRESSES OF SOME HAMS INTERESTED IN MICROWAVES revised november 30, 96 kept by WA1MBA NEWS from www.wa1mba.org My service provider now tells me that around December 18th I will be able to set up the awaited MICROWAVE REFLECTORS which will have these email addresses segmented so that you can simply mail things to geographical groups. When this happens, you will all get another message from me telling you how to use them, change your entry, download, etc. Sorry for the delay!

Subject: Slot antenna programA few of you have reported some problems using the Mathcad program for designing waveguide slot antennas. I found a couple of typo's and ran it OK using my version 3.1 of Mathcad. There is now a link on the web page for some examples using a 16-slot, 10 db design for various ham bands. For those of you who tried the program and had difficulties, sorry for the inconvenience.

Subject: FEI MicrowaveDoes anybody have a catalog of the FEI Microwave beam lead devices? I am looking for any kind of information on devices with the following nomenclature: F42CD-N11, F60C3-C03, F16NB-N110, F14NB-10, F6002-C02, F60B5-C05, ...SIGH...F32BD-N11, F60A4-C04, F32AD-N11, F06NB-N10, F60C2-C02, F42DD-N11. Thanks, Brian W6BY (ex KD6LI) E-mail: byee@sgi.comSubject: New Map---While visiting a local bookstore I discovered that DeLorme now has a Nevada Atlas and Gazetteer out, joining the previously available California and Arizona series. The new $16.95 (list price) Nevada book contains 55 quadrangular maps covering the entire state in 45 min. x 47.25 min. increments. Each map also shows WGS84 1 degree tick marks for use with GPS positional data. The map art is superb, perhaps the best yet. Frank Kelly WB6CWN
