Graham G8HAJ demonstrating 10 GHz SSB<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite the Bank Holiday Essex Skills Night attracted 55 people to the Danbury Village Hall on April 17, 2017. The busy evening consisted of a wide range of activities, among them was 10 GHz SSB by Graham G8HAJ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Low-cost 10 GHz SSB receiver<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He demonstrated how you can start with a simple low-cost 10 GHz receiver using a just a standard Sky satellite LNB (\u00a314:99) and a FUNcube Pro+ SDR or RTL-SDR dongle. This set-up should be capable of receiving the amateur radio transponder on the geostationary satellite Es’Hail 2<\/a> that is expected to be launched in early 2018.<\/p>\n

The Es’Hail transponder should be receivable on a 60 cm dish with no tracking needed. The downlink will be 10489.550-10489.800 MHz which will equate to 739.550-739.800 MHz on an SDR with the Optima LNB down-converter.<\/p>\n

For 10 GHz transmit Graham showed the popular DB6NT transverter and interface board which used an IF of 144 MHz.<\/p>\n
