Isn 2.4 GHz complex?
No! This was a commonly held view a while back. In fact the AO-40 problems have “forced” many amateurs to try 2.4 GHz, and they have been pleasantly surprised how unfounded their fears were. A 2.4GHz antenna is physically far smaller than one having the same gain for lower bands, and is quite easy to home-brew, or to buy and have shipped. For people without much exterior space, this is a great advantage. You can buy ready-made down-converters, so don’t even need to see the very small components (such as surface mount) and tracks used at 2.4 GHz. But, if you wish to, you can home brew or modify commercial equipment, very successfully. Other than that, it’s like any other band.
