76GHz rainscatter?? Yes, it works....

Michael (DB6NT) and I made some interesting QSOs on 47 and 76GHz.

First test was from JO61BA to JO50TI (distance around 80km)

JO61BA (not a real mountain, only a hill)

First test on 47GHz with both sides 559 with rainscattersound (scattercloud was close to DB6NT)
76GHz: 529/539 also with typical RS sound

second test 1 hour later fromJO51WA ( also not a real mountain, only a hill)

47GHz: both sides 53s with rainscattersound (scattercloud was close to DB6NT)
76GHz: 51s/51s also with typical RS sound

Used equipment 47GHz: DB6NT 1.2m dish, 1W out
DL6NCI 40cm dish 1W out

76GHz: DB6NT 1.2m dish, 300mW out
DL6NCI 40cm dish, 300mW out

This was the 3rd test with same equipment and the difference between 47 and 76 GHz is only 10-15dB
