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. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/microwave/
These sites just scratch the surface of microwave work. I'm sure there are many on the -bb list that could provide other pointers.

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.
