Oil Drum as a directional

unclex · 05-01-2002

I have been working on Oil Drums for the last few weeks.

Mount on scaffold in the back of a pickup with a generator to power the setup.

I will post some pick soon….

get onto it Mr_Wlan

Can't wait to see it.

Interested on how you are controlling the direction such as the pitch and yaw within the scaffold, and if it is by mechanical means being controlled within the cabin.

What is the calculated gain ?

Here we are cutting a hole for the N-Type

Fitting mounts for the pickup

As you can see, here is the mounting post.

unclex · 05-03-2002

well we fitted the mounting brackets and are ready to go

We also covered the drum in plywood cladding, so it did not look so like an oil drum.

just got to fit the pigtail now.

unclex, you are a true contributor to SETI.. kudos

<friendly just kidding>

Seriously though, what are the details, what is the gain... etc?

unclex,

Now that the cladding is installed are you going to give it the stain and varnish treatment?

You could end up with a fine piece of furniture if nothing else.

Lookin' good man!
Gotta see those the test results.

If you have an Amateur Radio Licence there should be no problem.

There are commercially made 5 watt amps for WLAN

I do not know were you got it from Mr_Wlan, but thanks for the donation

I would love to know if this thing has been taken for a test drive yet. Also I still haven't seen anything posted as to your expected db gain.
