A very fine arrangement. I hope and trust you will get many years of service from it. I presume you have in mind a way of supporting the ethernet cable to the arm or to the plate on the back of the dish so as to avoid any undue strain on the connector, as well as a way of weather-sealing the connector.
Thank you. eager to get it operational. The inclinometer now lives in a UV stable tupperware like small tote. That will protect it and the connector from the elements. 73
Nicely done GEDAS! I still remember our meteor scatter contact on 2m. The XYL took over my operating room as her office. I had to move everything into the basement. Trying to get back on the VHF and UHF bands in the near future. 73 DE KD2AVU Tim.
Nice work Gedas. Don't forget the 10.5v regulator. Ask Hugh VA3TO, he made a very nicely built adjustable reg. board. I used one with the same amp in the September weekend of 10GHz and Up, worked flawlessly. 73 de Peter VA3ELE FN03dm
Dang and Hugh did not make one for me (hi-hi). I am glad the SSPA is working. I have yet to try mine out. I bought a 20A SMPS that will convert the 13.8 down to 10.5 V. I was going to design up my own linear circuit but Jac said he used this particular converter and it works perfect so I got one too.
Nice work, Gedas, I'm just curious as to why you didn't just use a brass door hinge for a pivot, or a pair of quick disconnects from an airline, BUt the engineering department where I used to work, always said to over build it the first time
Yes all good ideas but none of those came to mind as I sat here and started to build. That is the complicated part of this, everyone builds their system a different way and there is no place to go to look at all the possibilities to see which may be best for you. I pretty much designed as I cut.
Nicely done Gedas! So how does one acquire 1/2 inch aluminum plate from an aircraft carrier blast shield? Which one? I think you should name this mount "the CVN-xx" design. :-)
LOL.....I like it. For now V2.0 but after the 1st QSO it will have a different "sir name". The original 4'x4' sheet was from one of the NAS facilities I had to visit many times. Got to know some nice folks who asked if I could use a slab of "alu-minium" and the rest is history.

Gedas... Thanks for taking the time to explain this set up... Very Nice !! W1VLF
Hi Paul. Awesome ! Glad this helped. 73

Hi there Tim ! It has been a while, you have a great memory. Glad to hear you are trying to get back into operating ! Hope we work real soon. 73
No such thing as over kill, GREAT JOB !
