76GHz operating

Keith GW3TKH and I have more or less identical 76GHz transverters (built by Keith). First tests were made from the Foxhunter car park on the Blorenge to the lower car park (about 1km) early this year that was extended to 3km later the same day. We failed on a 40km path over the Severn but succeeded on a 17km path from Newnham on Severn to Frocester Peak. 76GHZ seems a lot harder than 47GHz! Best DX for me so far is Cefn-y-Gelchen - IO81LS to Birdlip - IO81WU working Roger, G8CUB/P.

Power is likely to be in the uW range, Hope to measure it in the near future
