So the story goes that a severe storm (wind +/- 180km/h) caused a guy on the second most easterly antenna to fail. The problem was that that antenna was upwind. A game of dominoes ensued and when the blizzard cleared the destruction was apparent.
We are now in negotiations to secure funding to replace the damaged antennas ... never the easiest of tasks, but we are confident. If all goes well we will be replacing the log-periodic antenna design with a newer Twin-Folded-Terminated-Dipole wire antenna suspended from a set of poles. The design is close to what was used to construct the inteferometer antennas a few years ago.
We are going with the tried Blackstone radar design.
So this takeover looks to be a fun filled affair, but with Lötter as team leader ... how can we fail.
Till later
