@jtfletchbot btw, the PCB and housing is from Lothar Baier, https://texasmicrowave.com/ . Saves a mountain of busywork for me.

@jtfletchbot I believe it can produce more linear power with higher voltage and aggressive cooling, but 25W will be a good start.

@jtfletchbot this is for a TGA2623-CP device (yet to arrive), with the aim of 25W out for about 60mW in.

Very shiny for +50years old equipment.

@warthog9 Many thanks to you and
@monsieuricon 's work here and your continued work to keep vger alive all these years, it's one of the primary reasons that Linux development works so well.

Just a warning for people thinking about getting into #microwave #amateurradio -- it's an infinite labyrinth of hobbies, knowledge, and equipment. Precision machining, stripline circuits, strange semiconductors (IMPATT diode amplifier, anyone?), exotic electron tubes (which will try and kill you via xrays, lethal voltages, and beryllium oxide), metrology, physics, DIY, vintage equipment resurrection, morse code (modulation? sheer luxury!), scouring ebay, haunting electronics stores, poring over poorly scanned service manuals from defunct companies, and too many hex keys.

Oh, and it's a gateway drug to #radioastronomy.

@evacide Yikes. How much information did Verizon actually need to collect or keep?

Now using aluminum extrusions to adjust the position of the sensor & also hold it tight. Any further improvement will require a dial indicator to ensure it’s centered. And maybe some shims. Learning a lot about precision metalwork with this.

Making some hopefully final mods to the azimuth sensor for this az/el drive. Spent ages trying to find screws to match the Hammond enclosure. Turns out to be M3.5, which I have never seen used before. #hamradio #amateurradio #microwave #radioastrnomy

TIL my 50 MHz scope is still somewhat usable up to 150 MHz.

Another reminder that you only have ONE week left to submit to the containers or kernel devrooms at FOSDEM 2024!

A 2023 for of Vera Rubin (neé Cooper, ‘28-‘16) & her discovery that angular motion of galaxies deviates from predictions, 1st evidence for dark matter, now known as 5x as common as matter & the stuff which dictates dynamics of galaxies & evolution of our universe! The Nobel committee waited 3 years after she died to reward another for the theory of dark matter.

She found 6 months mat leave post MSc very difficult 🧵1/n
