Microwave Group of San Diego

Last Modified September 12, 2007

The Microwave Group of San Diego is an informal association of Radio Amateurs
interested in the frequencies above 1000 MHz

A net is held on the air each Monday night, except the third Monday of the month, on
the Palomar Amateur Radio Club Repeater, 146.730 (-0.600) (no pl) at 9:00 PM.
Stations may also join this net simultaneously on 1296.400 MHz using nbfm and
pointing their antennas at N6IZW's home QTH in La Mesa, CA, located in
Gridsquare DM12MS at Lat=32deg 47.30 min. N and Long=116 deg 59.37 min W.

A 10 Ghz beacon is currently operating from Mt. San Miguel in Gridsquare DM12MQ
at Lat=32 deg 41.80 min N., and Long =116 deg 56.09 min W. The cw beacon output
frequency is 10,368.070 MHz +/- 10 kHz with ID callsign of WB6IGP/B.
A second beacon also emits from this site using wbfm mcw on a frequency of
10,250 MHz with callsign N6IZW/B. Both beacons have +14 dBm output and
the horizontally polarized omni antenna has a gain of 10 dB. Elevation at the
beacon site is approximately 2645 ft.

A 24 GHz Beacon is now operating from the same location on Mt. San Miguel.
The frequency is 24192.040 MHz, horizontally polarized, horn antenna pointed
northwest with a beamwidth of 30 degrees and ERP of +34 dBm. The call sign
is K6QPV/B.

The Mt. San Miguel 10 GHz All-Mode Repeater is currently off the air.

Workshops and informal meetings are held each month on the third Monday evening
at 7:00 PM, usually at the La Mesa home QTH of Kerry Banke, N6IZW.
Call Kerry, evenings, at (619) 462-2220 for driving directions.
