Solar Panels – Field Day 2001

Image by randyrat
This is the 5x5w solar array I used during FD 2001. No, in this picture they are not out in the sun. There were too many trees around the area and they did not really get any sun at all until the next morning. Not that I needed them though – the 17 Ah and 7 Ah gelcells provided more than enough current. I just had these there as backup really.

Checking the output of the signal repeater, probably.

My friends Don and Brent installed a HAM radio signal repeater antenna at the roof top of an apartment building in St. James Town as a community volunteering project.

Not that I know anything about wireless technologies, I offered whatever little help I could do and also photo-documented the installation.

I took this photo earlier this year. Here are two others.

The Drents-Friese Wold National Park is on the border of the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe. This particular area is called the shifting sands of Aekingerzand.

Het Nationaal Park Drents-Friese Wold is een natuurgebied op de grens van de Nederlandse provincies Friesland en Drenthe. Het Nationale Park bestaat uit bos, heide en stuifzanden. Het is vooral bekend vanwege De Kale duinen (het Aekingerzand). Dit stuifzandgebied is groot genoeg om de wind de kans te geven het zand ook echt te laten stuiven. Met behulp van grazers wordt het gebied verder vrij van gras en bomen gehouden.

WX4RNK-first-RADAR
Skywarn
Image by n3pb
The first activation of Blacksburg SKYWARN was about 1PM on 10 May 1995. This is a scan of a printout from the (relatively new) NEXRAD WSR-88D RADAR showing one of the first storms we tracked. There was only one display for the RADAR (the PUP) in the office. The NWS forecasters would print out hard copy of interesting storms for SKYWARN. In later years, there was a video monitor in the SKYWARN station that displayed the right side screen from the PUP. Today, everyone has access to the current RADAR data.

The color printing technology was a Tektronix "solid ink" thermal printer. In a nutshell, it would melt colored wax (kind of like a crayon) and deposit the ink on the page — very high quality for its day.
