First response to Mike then I will waffle. I just tried the black nylon in the microwave, opposite site of the turntable to a cup of water and 3 mins at 900 Watts and the nylon was warm to getting hot, so in my mind not suitable, I will have to get some natural coloured Nylon 6 from the bay of E. Or buy a cheap Rocket LNB from Germany and rob the cone, or perhaps both! I will read the links, thanks again.
Now for the waffle, I was in Bolton some 19-20 years ago now in the Blackburn area. I wonder if I passed details of some surplus microwave kit on to you Mike many years ago. I worked for Pye Telecoms when it existed, then for a Motorola style company called Pennine Comms, then one that got taken over several times, (Tactico, National Telecomms and finally Alcatel) before moving to an independent for 27 years in Leyland, Lancashire. Worked along side companies like Granger years ago, one amongst several other companies. I found being a radio ham and doing radio as a job and being asked to do repairs or "can you get, do you have" to be soul destroying so I dropped the hobby and every thing with it completely.
But I have retired and I am looking back to the original interest for myself, location is in a valley, so looking to the sky for assistance.
Hello John, yes I remember you from many years ago, last time I saw you was in a caravan if I have the correct person? Not had contact with any of the old crowd literally since that period. Robin, Melvin? Peter. Alan and a guy that broke electronics down to components and scrap metal. In fact I would probably have done most things to stay away as said I dropped the hobby completely. The last real time i can remember was playing 70 cms am ATV.
