(From the web site of the San Diego Microwave Group)

The Microwave Group of San Diego is an informal association of Radio Amateurs
interested in the frequencies above 1000 MHz. A net is held on the air each Monday night, except the third Monday of the month, on the Palomar Amateur Radio Club Repeater, 146.730 (-0.600),(pl 107.2) at 9:00 PM.

Several beacons are currently operating from Mt. San Miguel in Gridsquare DM12MQ
at Lat=32 deg 41.80 min N., and Long =116 deg 56.09 min W, Elevation 2645 ft.

• A 10 GHz beacon is gps-locked at 10,368.360 MHz with ID callsign of K6QPV/B.
  The beacon has output of 0.5 Watts into a horizontally polarized omni antenna
  with a gain of 12 dB. 
• A 24 GHz beacon is on a frequency of 24192.040 MHz, and is horizontally polarized
  with a horn antenna pointed northwest with a beamwidth of 30 degrees. The ERP
  of this beacon is +34 dBm. The call sign is K6QPV/B.
• A 5.7 GHz beacon is operating on 5760.000 MHz. The Callsign is K6QPV/B. and transmit power is 2.5 watts to an omni 10 dB gain waveguide slot antenna.
• A 1296 MHz beacon is now operating on 1296.300 MHz with 16 watts to a horizontal yagi antenna aimed Northwest.The Callsign is K6QPV/B. 

Workshops and informal meetings are held each month on the third Monday evening
