Michael,

Thank you very much for the info and links.

I am forming up a team to compete this year. If we don't compete this
year we will enter next year. So far I have 3 people from work
(Lockheed Martin) including myself,one from IEEE, and a person that
has competed in previous elevator2010 contests(http://
www.spaceward.org/elevator2010.html). If you know of anyone who is
interested in joining our team (Especially if they know how to design
High Power RF/Microwave Antennas, Dishes, and Horns) please shoot me
an email at:

Thanks,
Bert




There seems to be quite a lot of material on the web for this topic
and I suspect some practical solutions. Also while perusing Usenet
archives on another topic I found this list from a french newsgroup
which may be useful if the links haven't succumbed to bit rot
(haven't checked them):
