It's not such a dumb thought. I have heard that some folks are doing just
that on 10GHz. I have a 10GHz gunnplexor sitting on my shelf waiting, but
I don't know the first thing about its electrical interface. The other
problem I've heard about is the directionality of microwaves. It doesn't
make for a very good LAN :-)
