Volunteer needed to help establish Haystack<->Baldi link
With Rattlesnake gone now, I think it makes sense to link up Baldi with Haystack. They both have unused dishes now, pointed at roughly the right direction to make this happen. The Haystack end of the cable became damaged recently though, and needs to be re-run in a PVC conduit so it stays unbroken. The tree the modem is on needs to be trimmed so it doesn't shed ice that kills the hardware. Then the link needs to be aligned with S1.Baldi as a remote beacon. Who wants to come do this? I may be going up the mountain as soon as tomorrow for an unrelated issue and won't have time to do these things. --Bart
When are you planning to do this? I would really love to come help sometime if you're pursuing this on a weekend. Jesse KJ7YLS \-------- Original Message -------- On Nov 1, 2021, 5:07 PM, Bart Kus < me@bartk.us> wrote:

I'm trying to do this on clear days before snow sets in, which aren't gonna coincide with weekends. I'll make a push tomorrow. No worries, as thankfully multiple folks reached out. --Bart On 11/1/2021 5:40 PM, Jesse Victors via PSDR wrote:
