facepalmYou only “know” that the speed of microwave radiation is the same as speed of light because you’ve been told it’s so, third hand.
This guy is working from tomato soup based observations relating to microwaves and only microwaves.

Eh?The observable phenomenon was the action of the microwave radiation, thus the calculations described derive the speed of the microwaves (the fact that the speed is equal to the speed of light is coincidental).
If you're in a position to know that the speed of microwaves is equal to the speed of light, then odds are that you already know the speed of light, and thus don't need to calculate it (until RoF posted, I wasn't aware of the speeds being equal).
