OT / Host site work supporting the TLM-18 Antenna
Was on site yesterday with Bill D working on the Diana site technology "bucket list". * The new network switch is up and running (previous unit was damaged by running the UPS with bad batteries, CDL and Dan Marlow funded replacement batteries. * All four network cameras the Diana site are working. Link to screen shot: http://compdecon.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/diana_site_cams.jpg * Bill D installed the EMP / Lightning protectors for the exterior cameras in the furnace room, final cut over is pending. * The computers supporting the touch-screens were replaced with new units running W11, and mounted in the correct bracket on the back of the touchscreens. Link: http://compdecon.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG_3840-scaled.jpg * The camera cables were cut (again) during landscaping activities by Wall Township. I was able to temporarily splice them, however they need to be re-run. InfoAge needs to purchase at least 100 meters of Belden/Mohawk M57622 outdoor network cable to effect permanent repair .

Plan of the day is to wrap up the computer / camera / network tasks, along with installing the console brackets so the work surface can be fitted. If you are available and are interested in helping with the tech work, please contact me off-list. Martin Flynn
Fabulous Martin! Very exciting upgrades. I guess that cable needs to be protected somehow when re-run. Members: If you haven't checked out InfoAge's ISEC, to there! There is a Apollo command module computer in addition to other great stuff there. They are working to restore the ability to move the antenna in order to be able to do, among other things, point it to the moon. Read about "project Dianna" on the web.

Yep. I saw that. Right-o. I only wondered about the protection of it, not who was buying it. On 11/20/2023 11:51 AM, Martin Flynn via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
