Dick, K2RIW. No frequency is high enough.

I've been a Ham since 1956.

My favorite bands are 432 MHz and 10.368 GHz SSB. I like designing high powered microwave amplifiers, such as The Stripline Parallel kW Amplifier (QST Feb/March 1972); designing high performance antennas, such as the RIW-19 432 MHz Yagi, and the 12 Foot Stressed Parabolic Dish for 2287.5 MHz Apollo 15 & 16 Astronaut Reception (QST JUNE & August 1972); and designing antenna testing techniques, such as Antenna Ratiometry an Outdoor Range Improvement Technique (QST February 1976).

For 27 years I've hosted the weekly "Technical Net" on the 146.85 MHz New York City LIMARC Repeater, Sunday at 20:00 local.

I look forward to having a capability on the 241.92 GHz band (1.24 mm), the 1,680th harmonic of 144 MHz.

73 es Good VHF/UHF/SHF/EHF/EME DX,

Dick, K2RIW
