Sheffield Microwave Workshop & Round Table

摘要

The microwave scene seems to have increased in popularity these days. Some would say that it's one of the few areas of amateur radio where there are still genuine challenges to be had - new techniques to try, new world records to be set. Operating on the microwave bands is a very different kettle of fish from sitting in a HF shack and working the world - again. With this in mind, the UK Microwaves Group (UKμG) organises get-togethers around the country. These bring together some of the best microwave minds who share their experience and tips.rnThe venue for the event was the Sheffield Transport Social Club, which also houses the Sheffield Radio Club shack. Particular thanks are due to the club for helping organise the event and securing the generously sized venue.rnThere were two separate but linked activities over the weekend. Saturday saw an 'intermediate workshop, aimed at amateurs who had recently entered the microwave scene and were keen to find out more. This was a logical follow-on from the UKμG Beginners' Workshops, which have been held around the country since 2006.
