The London Hackspace has a 30 meter trailer mast currently living in the yard. | |||
[ | It was donated to us in a bit of a worn down condition after sitting in a field for many years. It was originally used by a utility company and repainted in company colours as each utility company rebranded or was acquired. The intended use of the mast is to use it to improve our radio signal propagation/reception at the Hackspace, provide useful utility during field day activities and festivals like [https://www.emfcamp.org/ Electromagnetic Field] and more. The mast can also house a camera and even be configured for semi-permanent mounting. | ||
[[file:TrailerMastManual.pdf|Manual]] | During the time since acquisition, we've had various challenges from procuring the right parts to having sunny days to service the equipment, but we are getting there. Recently work was stalled due to a bent segment and replacement screws that turned out to be slightly too long once screwed into the assembly. We're getting back to progress on the mast. | ||
Even though this trailer is maintained by the amateur radio club, once assembled, we can share its use with related LHS groups (e.g. quadcopter obstacle course, brain hacker nodule pole, etc.) | |||
