by jokowueu - What is a 40 GHz , 20 W amplifier used for in amateur radio circles?by realo
- Reducing the effects of loss over long distance coax runs.by simondanerd
- There's a HAM band at 47 GHz in the US : https://hamradiohub.com/ham-radio-frequencies-bands-in-the-u...
It provides 200Mhz of bandwidth so it would make a nice point to point high speed microwave link

- Even though there are so many packed buttons and links it seems to like a vastly superior design compared to modern websites. I don't know if it's me being used to this or if we went wrong somewhere.by comboy
- It’s horrible to use on mobile. Which you may or may not care about, but that’s why this style of design died out.by Gigachad
- Funny, I entirely disagree. On one hand, the design itself is heartwarming because it's old internet. Also, once you navigate into the topics, things are neatly organized, and there I agree with you. But the content on the main page itself lacks a common thread, no idea where i'm supposed to read or what belongs together.by meowcat
- RF always had a reputation of being a black art. There was a brief time in the late 2000s where RFIC design was the top paying field for EE grads.
With the rise of Meta, Google, etc paying CS grads 500k etc, now it's quaint and hilarious, if you check r/chipdesign, the millenial RF practitioners still think you need a MS/PhD minimum to get a grad job.. Fellas, there's not a single Stanford EE grad that still wants to work in your field... and half the RFIC designers went took their MATLAB skills into "Data Science/ML".

by mindcrime - Reminds me of the early 90's internet I used to browse. Filled with people obsessed with tech and zero politics. I miss that internet.
- Love this design. Kind of reminds me of this Norwegian web shop: https://arngren.net/ hasn't changed much since the early 2000s or even late 90sby sgt
- Ham radio websites might be my favorite genre of website. Their design is always a throwback to the internet of my youth, and they almost always have tons of interesting technical content.by cbfrench
- Ah yes, the good old internet where “you cannot access this website from your region” was the absolute norm. Why cant i access this website? God knows. I just cant.
This is most definitely NOT the internet of my youth.

It's interesting how simple advertising is as well.
> Please Support My Advertisers!
Some jpegs. No js, no moving shit, just logos, some text, some call to action in a banner format. That's it.
Also:
> A random number generator determines which company's Banner Ad will go in a particular position*. I wrote the code myself and it is very simple and foolproof.
> I do not collect page traffic or link click statistics for advertisements. Your website server statistical analysis is a much better reporter of inbound links from RF Cafe than I or anyone else can provide.
Nice.

I count 22 advertisers, so there's obviously lots of incentives for advertisers to work with this site. Good for them, and nice to see it can still be lucrative for what I believe to be a single person operation. Quality content still matters.
