KHDC - new location pictures
« on: October 05, 2010, 12:18:53 PM »
Here are some pics of the equipment enclosure I made and equipment at the FBO at KHDC, Hammond, LA.  I had to enclose it to keep roaming fingers from playing with the scanner and laptop. It is located in their FAA testing and SIM room. I covered the top of the enclosure with a thin sheet of aluminum and mounted an ASP 201L mobile VHF antenna to it. Unfortunately, the box is inside a metal building which severly hampers reception. A better antenna is coming. :-)

Very clever idea using pegboard for ventilation.   ;)

Thanks Dave,
    A better antenna has been installed on the roof of the building, but it will have to be relocated soon as they are building an addition to the building.  The fun never ends! :-D
