OBSERVATIONS FROM NORWAY . 13-05-07.
A FULLY AUTOMATED SATELLITE STATION USING 25 YEAR OLD RADIOS. (Part2)
(For anyone in regular contact... LA2QAA has been suffering from a foot problem... hobbling around on crutches for a short while. His condition has improved so much of late that he only needs one crutch now, so things seem to be looking up. .... GM1SXX)
It's a (working) scale model of the elevation rotor that fits onto the azimuth
rotor in my last observations (The DOG Tracker). Made with a miniature junkbox
12v motor and simple hand tools.
| A demonstration model elevation rotator for the 'DOG Tracker) |
The whole point of this exercise is to prove that the Dog Tracker really does
track and tune "old" radios automatically.
| Another short of the DIY elevation rotator. |

| Even more uses for tubular aluminium. A prototype loop-yagi |

(Hmmm.... wonder where he got that length of good quality
aluminium alloy tubing? ... GM1SXX)
