I gave a lecture about antennas for operation on 1296MHz last week and
mentioned that my vacuum tube power abplifier was damaged by a gassy tube.
I want to replace it with a solid state amp. One of the engineers present
suggested that I find a GPS satellite on the surplus market and pull the
the power amplifier out of it.
He obviously did not know that satellites , even spares, do not show up on
the surplus market.
