.... well, sounds like a great jamming device for when the sw stations go
GHz...

I once looked at a microwave oven on a spectrum analyzer (Loosely
coupled
near the door seal). The signal was spread over 100s of MHz. It also
appeared to be pulsed. The spectrum, however, did not look like the
expected Sa(x) distribution. Magnetrons are not noted for their
stability, and are
probably not suitable for CW. I have played with tunable 500 mW
klystrons,
and they can drift 10s of MHz (at 12 GHz), in a very short period of
time.

PS I often post responses, and never see them. That is why I started
a new thread. Anybody else get the same problem?
