[Ground-station] 10GHz meetup report

[Michelle Thompson]

A big thank you to Kerry N6IZW who walked me through some LNB 10GHz receive
test plans, gotchas, equipment concerns, and additional bonus 5GHz
strategies.

For some of you, using PLL-enabled DirecTV style LNBs is old hat. We've had
this on the to-do list for a while, but we're moving firmly into recipe
writing, getting more into GNU Radio, and frequency error correction (with
and without calibration signals) territory now.

More soon as we test with a local lab source and also the local 10GHz
beacons. It's really not hard to get 10GHz into any of the commonly
available SDRs and we believe that we are up to the point where we're
getting good start of frame data.

Engineering for this is being done on the #dvb-receiver channel on our
Slack. Let me know if you need an invite.
