I bet you are right...he is most likely single LOL :-) You can phase lock a microwave oven's magnetron and drop it's usual frequency of 2.450GHz down a bit into the ham allocation at 2.39 - 2.45 GHz and use it with a dish for a powerful cw signal for moonbounce. Can put a decent signal on the surface of Mars with a big dish and 1kw at the feed point but nobody has yet heard an echo back from Mars although they keep trying. You could do it with this 110mtr x 110mtr dish at Greenbank though... 7 watts at the feed point of this monster gives you 1 megawatt erp...but hams have not yet been allowed to use it.

Here is a 50 foot dish built entirely from scratch...uses a 5" gun mount rotor...bet this guy is single as well!
