Typically it should take a weekend and a case of beer to get the\n> job done, but this required a little more planning and involvement as we\n> had to collect the parts from various people and build several components\n> on our own; not to mention the fact that we get side-tracked like no other\n> club. For example, an effort to get the rotor controller resulted in moving\n> about four truckloads worth of gear.\n> \n> We're using an FT-847 for our primary radio, and a Kenpro G-5400 for our\n> rotor system. We've interfaced the G-5400 to the computer using an Arduino.\n> It works rather well with GPredict. The final bug in the system has to do\n> with GPredict talking to the '847, but that should be easily fixed with an\n> update.\n> \n> The antennas are on the roof of our Engineering and Computer Science\n> building, about 20 feet off the roof, 70 feet above ground. Out of luck, we\n> had a GlenMartin RT-936 and the associated non-penetrating mount just\n> hanging out in our closet. Carrying the 50 cinder blocks up to the roof for\n> that mount was not fun though. Coax wise, we have about 20 feet of Davis\n> Bury-flex for our initial run, which then feeds some very nice ARR preamps.\n> The final 200 foot run of coax to the shack is 1/2\" Heliax. There are a few\n> jumpers here in the shack too.\n> \n> I was able to make a few contacts through SO-50 today, and plan to be more\n> active. With the help of DK3WN's SatBlog, I've had no trouble picking out\n> some cubesats and listening to the beacons and telemetry. Telemetry\n> collection is one of the primary goals for this station. Our other goals\n> for this station, aside from having fun on the air, are to get club\n> recognition on campus and to work with the William B. Hanson Center for\n> Space Sciences on upper atmospheric projects.\n> \n> Station photos: http://imgur.com/a/6TGOJ\n> \n> Also, if you know a member of the former TI club, give them a hug (or\n> handshake) on our behalf. None of the current K5UTD projects could have\n> been possible without them.\n> \n> 73!\n> Andrew Koenig, KE5GDB\n> Vice President, K5UTD\n> Research Assistant, Center for Space Sciences\n> \n> \n> ------------------------------\n> \n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
