Operating on microwave bands offers hams exciting challenges, pushing the limits of propagation and equipment. These frequencies, typically above 1 GHz, are used for everything from local line-of-sight QSOs to long-distance DX records, often involving highly directional antennas and specialized transceivers. Many operators enjoy experimenting with these bands for satellite operation, weak signal work, and high-speed data links.

This category provides resources for acquiring the unique components needed for microwave station building and experimentation. Hams can find suppliers for RF and microwave coaxial components like attenuators, adapters, and connectors, such as those offered by Fairview Microwave or Mini-Circuits. The listings also include vendors specializing in complete kits and modules for higher bands, catering to experimenters building their own equipment for ATV or satellite projects, with options from companies like Down East Microwave and MiniKits.com.au.
