Microwave ham radio is often considered strictly line-of-sight — but real-world propagation can be far more interesting. In this presentation, I explore my personal journey on the microwave ham radio bands, including blocked paths, knife-edge diffraction, passive reflection and long-distance microwave contacts.

This presentation was for the Brisbane VHF Group – https://brisbanevhfgroup.com/

Australia is considering major changes to how free-to-air television could be delivered in the future, including greater reliance on streaming and potentially reducing terrestrial broadcasting. In this video I look at the options, the spectrum implications, and some of the issues I think are worth considering.

I’m experimenting with the Retevis RT95 / AnyTone AT-778UV to see if I can pull the receive/COS information from its serial line and use it with the TOADs DI board.
