Spurs are highly unlikely with a cavity based device like a magnetron.

Sidelobes are an artifact of antennas, not oscillators, unless you are
talking about modulation sidelobes which are pretty trivially dealt with
in a pulse device.

The frequency stability of a magnetron is highly correlated to the
power supply, i.e. the anode voltage.

The power supply and pulse control of an oven would be useless for any
sort of communications, so one would need to build one that pulled
the frequency down into the amateur band and provided for some sort of
modulation scheme.

The simplest modulation would be very high speed CW.


Some years ago a local ham injection locked his microwave oven and
produced a pretty stable source in the 2.4GHZ band.

That would be the smart thing to do if one wants frequency stability and
these days it is pretty easy to do.

While these technical discussions are very interesting, I can't help
feeling that most of it will go over the head of the OP. Even if he
knows nothing about amateur radio, he will by now have realised that
moonbounce is quite a specialist subject, and not something that the
ordinary man-in-the-street would be able to suddenly decide to have a go
at. If he does know about amateur radio, he probably knows this already!
