August 21, 2010 ARRL 10GHz Contest from Perry Park, OH
SCARC's WA3TTS, Mike Sapp, was captured in a video by WB8TGY, Mark Korroch, as Mike was having a QSO on 10GHz (SSB) over a 100km water path with an estimated 630 microwatts effective radiated power (3 uW output into a 23db horn). A power output check was made the next day to arrive at the 3uW estimate (in the video, Mike says it's 10uW output). In addition to below, Mike's 10GHz QSO and other Amateur Radio microwave related videos can be viewed here.

6-Meter Recordings
SCARC member N3LL, Bob Carnahan, put together a
small collection of recordings made
of 6-meter skip activities in which DX stations running as little as
30-watts can be heard. Most of the recordings are contacts between the
club's station, W3KWH, and others; however, Bob includes one DX contact
made from his home running only 100-watts and using a par omni loop
antenna design.
The recordings will stream at any connection speed and can be listened
to here.
