Finally beacon GB3LPS came on air this week. It's on 2320.935MHz from IO91FR. Thanks to the team for getting it installed and especially G8KPS who singlehandedly carried out all the "up-mast" work. Please take a listen and beacon spot if heard. #ghz_bands

First QSO for 2026 on 122.256GHz. 5-2 sigs over 15.2km /P path over Basingstoke. Blooming cold though 🥶🥶

A grey murky start turned into a cracking day on Walbury Hill. 23 10GHz band QSO's including one into the Paris area on ssb. 1 Watt is all you need! 😁

Operating "topless" in the 10GHz contest today! A good crop of QSO's after a worrying start. G1EHF came to the rescue with an alternative TVTR. But even this needed some in service encouragement! So many things to fix! 😄👍

122km on 24GHz with the UKuG loan gear was pretty good for less than 20mW I thought! Frequency stability was challenging! This needs fixing but fun to have a go anyway. Patience was rewarded with 5 QSO's. #ghz_bands

A fun 10GHz session from Walbury Hill today. Best dx 430km, not bad for my little 1W PA. Getting the key out for 2 QSO's was a bit stressful though 😅, not my best skill! #ghz_bands

Some difficult 3.4GHz 9cm band QSO's battling against the strong adjacent 5G signals above 3410MHz when pointing directly towards Woking or LHR. Several stations unworkable as a result. Time to investigate some mitigation .... #ghz_bands #UKAC

Nice long evening allowing the cobwebs to be brushed off the 3.4GHz gear. A good bunch of QSO's with 300km best dx. This despite challenging wide band interference suspected to be from 5G systems now deployed in Woking and Guildford. #ghz_bands

23cm TVTR now "Galileo Ready"! No changes other than a LO synth upgrade. Sigs the same on 1298 compared to 1296MHz in tests over obstructed paths with G1EHF and G3TCU. #ghz_bands

A very successful inaugural Ridgeway Microwave Round Table today. Loads of projects and equipment on show and a brilliant JT4 on 122GHz demonstration👍. Excellent measurement capabilites to 47GHz. Great attendance- well done all! #ghz_bands

I wondered how the return loss of my 23cm antenna system (23 ele yagi) would look at 1298MHz. Seems fine 👍

More QSO's on a number of bands during 2024 compared to the two years prior. More HF activity and fixing my 24GHz system would be good goals for 2025. I was pleased to add 3.4GHz as a new band this year. Good DX and HNY!
