it up to $600 and you have a minimum of $2/foot. And knowing my estimates are generally off by half or 3x, perhaps $5/foot is a good planning figure for the true cost of digging a ditch. From: Chuck McCown Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 6:33 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Excavation costs

The rectangular orientation of the two rectangular waveguides are at right angles only to simplify the mechanical design. The fact they are one way or the other just means you have to match the connecting device with their orientation. From: Steve Jones Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 1

No attachment, but you can have quite a bit of alignment mismatch on rectangular waveguide without causing it to fail. As long as the long axis aligns with the long axis of the other part you should be good. This also assume that the two waveguides are the same or very similar frequency/size.
