Introduction to 23cm
The CDARC had a recent club evening when we operated from the shack on
23cm ATV using 2m talk back. Anyway I am inspired to get onto this band
now asap.
The
1.3GHz (23cm) amateur allocation spans ....
- From the RSGB site (link opposite):
The Microwave region of
the spectrum strictly begins at 3GHz but amateurs traditionally refer
to all the
bands above 1GHz as microwave bands. It
is perhaps the most challenging and technically progressive area of
amateur
radio. With the exception of kits and modified ex-professional gear,
there is
very little commercially built amateur equipment for any of the
microwave bands
– apart from 1.3 and possibly 2.3GHz. It
is also an area of the spectrum that is under sustained pressure, where
many
different (and often conflicting) demands are made for frequency
allocations by
commercial, government, military, domestic and amateur users. Never has
there
been a more appropriate time to remind all amateurs of the need to “use
it or
lose it”!
