Well yes! Even amateurs suffer from nostalgia, we also do some good historical re-enactments! In fact
our intent when we decided to hold this contest, was something quite different, namely to give a chance to the new OM or to those who had not experienced the magic of the season pioneers of microwave can (re) experience the emotions of the 10 GHz FM. With modern techniques, materials and tools available today to make a full-duplex device for X-band is not so impossible. For a few years ago in this section (ARI Ancona), we conducted a series of Gigafoni , or rather several members, under the supervision of Fabio and Marco I6CXB IW6DCN, assembled, tested and tested each one on your device.
Obviously, once implemented, would try to road and therefore it was decided to hold a contest to test your equipment "on air" and not just on the bench, it was decided in June, also because, with the 'opportunity, you could do some good outings on some cocuzzoletto!
After the 'enthusiasm of first editions now the number of participants has leveled off, fortunately there is also some OM out section in each edition makes some attempt ...
Quest 'year we had a special appearance by Luke I6QIZ who chose the location of the Cathedral of Ancona and the series ... you never stop learning, we can not establish a connection "full duplex", and I felt Luke did not hear me! I little power in TX or deaf I6QIZ the receiver? It will be the subject of future research! These tests are also used and / or above for that. While connecting
Fabio and Marco was very easy to want the closeness that for many QSO already made in previous editions.
