G3NWR ATV test transmission

The club started off with a 1 watt test, then G7LLQ arrived with a little help.. a good 15W, though I guessed that there was about 100ft of LDF450 at the club (80ft tower), I tried to work out the losses, and guessed that there was about 7 watts to the antenna... I could be wrong though!

Hello, I am trying to get into ATV and i was wondering what would be a good and high quality rig for a beginner. Also, how good is the quality (normally)? Thanks!

P.S. what do you think about digital atv? is it worth getting into?

Hi, TBH am not really that clued up on ATV, here in the UK we can use old analogue satellite's, or buy a G1MFG reciver/transmitter for use on 23CMS, and still use the analogue satellite for 10Ghz too. Best read up on it, try googling g1mfg, his site is no longer up, but there are plenty of other links for you to get ideas from.

Digital TV? well theres a few guys this side that have digital recivers, and are hoping to go digital TX too.. So, I like the idea, but cant afford it :(

Good luck
