Hello,
This past Saturday, I lowered the portable tower to its horizontal position.
Please be aware of your surroundings when you are out at the club, the antenna
elements are at eye level a could pose a hazard.
The plan is to remove the warped horizontal 144MHz support masts and replace
them with some fiberglass tubes. These ultra-strong tubes have been graciously
provided by Bob, W6RFH.
Thank you Bob.
Another modification is to install a video camera on the EME antenna mast
support to provide a video source to help track the moon from the confines of
the SARC radio room. Hopefully, this eliminate the need to run outdoors to
adjust the azimuth and elevation.
