Excellent articles on microwave for DIYers (particularly little bits one might need, like sequencers, power meters, LED displays, 12V/24V coax relay drivers, FET switches, etc....things that may not make it into QST/QEX all the time, but you really need to complete the project!).
He also sells various things (at reasonable cost, IMHO) for those that just need whatever 'widget' to get on the air.

Hello Bob,
In these parts, North Texas Microwave Society (https://www.ntms.org/) is
a gathering of microwave enthusiasts. I'm a relative newcomer to this
group, but there are a lot of good articles and presentations on the
website.
W1GHZ (http://www.w1ghz.org/) has a site chock-full of various microwave
projects, ideas, and publications.
The RTL-SDR folks have an entire category dedicated to microwave
projects and links, but it is not all amateur radio.

These sites just scratch the surface of microwave work. I'm sure there
are many on the -bb list that could provide other pointers.
