RF micro power meter and 40dB tap

This is a useful addition to my amateur RF lab. Meter range is -70 to +13 dBm .5-500MHz The meter movement is a taught-band Simpson I picked up at the Stanwood Hamfest for $5. These movements give great repeatable readings.
The power tap is used with a external dummy load to extend the meter upper range.

The setup netted us 2 contacts near 300 Mi on 70cm and 23cm I don't remember the final contact count. Look for results in QST.
