This talk will be about the many and varied pieces of equipment I’ve used over the years to delve into the world of microwave communications. Starting with a 10 GHz wide-band FM system used in 1987, I will be discussing the various pieces gear I’ve used for all bands from 1.2 GHz through to 134 GHz.

Radio blackouts during solar storms occur because intense solar flares emit large amounts of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation, which ionize the Earth’s upper atmosphere, particularly the ionosphere. This increased ionization disrupts the propagation of high-frequency radio waves, leading to communication outages.

Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication, or moonbounce, involves transmitting radio signals from Earth to the Moon, where they are reflected back to Earth, allowing long-distance communication. This method requires high-power transmitters, directional antennas, and sensitive receivers to overcome significant signal attenuation and Doppler shifts.
