Hi Mark and readers,
Oh knock it off with the "power struggle" already! (;->)
Just a bit of American history may give you a bit of a heads up on a way
to go. Before fiber optic cable AT&T Long Lines used a nationwide network
of microwave towers as multiplexed "trunk lines" to carry telephone
conversations. Each transmitter had a power output of 10W which fed a
horn via waveguide. Not only workable but the most reliable system at the
time since customer satisfaction is paramount in the telecommunications
industry.
Sorry I don't know the details, but experiments are underway in the US
based along these lines, low power "cards" I guess you would call them
and 10W amps feeding a variety of antennas more suitable for our purposes
since a horn is an extremely large affair if it is to have suitable gain.
Don't ask me what they're using for receivers, no information on that has
come my way. Hmmm, maybe an old MASER preamp would come in handy if you
can get your hands on a tank of liquid nitrogen. (;->)
All kidding aside, I hope I have given you an idea you can work with.
