ADS-B
Hello, I updated my “current antenntena page” with some pics of the 3 yagis for ADS-B which I mounted at about 26m AGL. Just 2 weeks prior to that, I took down to of the 7/8″ coaxes in that tower, they came down with a bang unfortunately. There is no antenna in the top, yet, but there will be dishes for 23cm, 6mc and 3cm there soon.
Microwave
OK so maybe I am a bit too much at times, mening I collect far to many projects. But after the adventures at the Scandinavian VHFmeeting where some folks worked 122GHz, I just had to get some gear myself, not primarily for 122GHz but for 24 and 47… So I got these bits and pieces. A new 24 GHz transverter and LO from Kuhne. And a used station from DL7QY with 47,76 and 122GHz (there is a small dish under the opened box so a complete setup).
The cable ditch is finally digged to completeness
check my page for “antennas and towers” : My antennas & towers
There you will find some news about my infrastructure projects. It seems like i have completed the digging for this year. As soon as I have the connectivity up and running I can start to become QRV again.
Digging and more digging
I have been buys lately rebuilding the entire SM7SJR setup on the ground. Burying coax cables, fibre and more stuff… Take a look at “My antennas & towers” for pictures of the “disaster” , *LOL*
ADS-B
So I finally gathered parts and got the ADS-B reciever going. ADS-B is flighttracking, I am feeding to at least one network : opensky. I am sometimes also feeding ADS-B Exchange and Radarbox. The reason for me to do this is interest in aircrafts but also to feed our “own network” (airscout).
I will later on publish some info of how I did set up my raspberry PI for this. But not now… *smile*
