The Roadrunners Microwave Group
(RMG) is organized to promote operation on the amateur bands above 420 MHz. The Group is
generally comprised of microwave enthusiasts in South Texas but membership is not restricted
by geography. Increasing activity on the bands above 420 MHz within any geographical area, or
among such areas, requires the involvement of myriad amateur radio operators, and this group
is to provide a focal point for such an effort. RMG has a "band of emphasis" program to encourage
members to become active on bands they do not currently operate. The current RMG "band of
emphasis" would be 902MHz except we voted to help those folks not already on 13cm, 3cm
and 9cm to become operational there (the first three "bands of emphasis" we have had since
forming the organization in mid-1999); activity levels have increased significantly on these
bands! Informally, many are moving on to 902MHz, even as RMG as an organization dedicates
itself to "elmering" folks on the first three bands.
