two really strange questions

[Carl Menne]

 I thought perhaps the original question was directed at the idea of somehow
adapting the microwave oven to ham communication use ?

 Rig here is Sanyo 600 with manual dial at the feedpoint of an inverted
metal silo cap, QRZ  EME !!!!!!
Now tell me what is wrong with this idea, and then who will be the first to
do it anyway.
