Projects

I have a few projects coming up if it doesn't get too cold.

I have the gobox I've been working on. After I get the final touches done on it, I'll take it back apart and video the assembly.

I have a 25G tower I'm going to erect. That will be mostly pictures to keep focus on safety and not cameras.

I also have the Glastron project. I'll be installing new thermostats and remounting the motor. Then it's getting the electrical and seats done. I won't be able to finalize that until warmer weather. I don't want to snap my AGM batteries.

I'll also take suggestions on some projects.

25G Tower Project

Details: Category: Antennas; Published: 19 December 2021

I got some tower sections from Rusty yesterday, for a really cheap price and now I'm on the quest for a tilt-over plate. I still haven't decided what all I'm going to put on top of this. I know I'm going to put the 2m yagi that Gary traded me on top with the rotator I got from Dutch. I might put both my dual band trams on it just below the yagi. It all has to stay below 35ft for the city I live in. However, I'm going to build the base as if it was an 80 footer. Even through I'm building it to a height to escape code enforcement, I'm still going to build it too code for safety. I'm also going to build it with a ton of video footage so in the event of my untimely demise, my friends and family can take it down without any hassle. The only thing that will be left is a concrete pad with six anchor bolts sticking out. I am looking forward to this project. I'm not looking forward to digging that big hole.
