[Ground-station] 5GHz amplifiers

[Michelle Thompson]

Julian KF4MOT recommended (#5ghz_rf on Slack) looking at this amplifier:

http://www.skyworksinc.com/Product/4074/SKY66288-11

so I bought 10 of them. I would like to lay out a board for them and get
them up and running and useful for our uplink.

Mike Seguin, John Petrich, Chuck Clark, Kent Britain, and several others
have extensive experience here and have results for a PCB filter among
other things necessary for a successful "get a typical SDR signal heard
loud and clear" mission.

What can I do to help get this board built?

I have a circuit printer, but if it's not good enough then we have
experience now with two good contract manufacturers on the
JoCo/Trans-Ionospherics. I'm sure that Mike and Kent and the others have a
wealth of options for making boards as well, and at these frequencies.

Julian explained that heat dissipation is the first thing to take care of.
