  We present an extensive experimental study of the distributions of the real
and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal elements of the scattering matrix $\hat
S$ and the Wigner's reaction $\hat K$-matrix for open microwave networks with
broken time ($T$) reversal invariance. Microwave Faraday circulators were
applied in order to break $T$-invariance. The experimental distributions of the
real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal entries of the scattering matrix
$\hat S$ are compared with the theoretical predictions from the supersymmetry
random matrix theory [A. Nock, S. Kumar, H.-J. Sommers, and T. Guhr, Annals of
Physics {\bf 342}, 103-132 (2014)]. Furthermore, we show that the experimental
results are in very good agreement with the recent predictions for the
distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal elements of
the Wigner's reaction $\hat K$-matrix obtained within the framework of the
Gaussian unitary ensemble of random matrix theory (RMT) [S. B. Fedeli and Y. V.
Fyodorov, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {\bf 53}, 165701 (2020)]. Both theories
include losses as tunable parameters and are therefore well adapted to the
experimental verification.
