Pan & tilt idea for microwave antennas - VK3BA - 06-03-2024
The VK3RTV Tuesday 8pm net also livestreams to YouTube every week via Ian VK3QL’s YouTube channel. It goes for about an hour or so each Tuesday night and is very interesting… https://www.youtube.com/@IanVK3QL/streams if you can’t receive it direct from the VK3RTV repeater at Mt View in Glen Waverley.
More info here… http://www.vk3rtv.com/ the VK3RTV system has almost been a full time job by Peter VK3BFG to keep it going for everyone to enjoy. Feel free to contact Peter if you’re interested in a donation to help keep the wheels turning.
Of late, there’s been a bit of chatter & video of what a few stations (from the IC-905 club) are up to with their microwave projects & operations.
In particular, last night Mick VK3CH showed some ideas that he got from Andrew VK3FS in regards to a pan & tilt mechanism for his 10GHz system. Go to last nights livestream here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5lE2aACIXs and scroll forward to 24min30sec for Mick’s presentation. It’s great to see some more stations building microwave gear for the rest of us to work.
Cheers,
