Hello Stefan,

Make sure to have someone with you to take some nice pictures of your actions for us :-)

Good luck and don't forget, safety first.

Hello Andy,

Thank you.
Well, i need to climb about 18 meters above the ground. It is an easy job for me on that tree. I searched a few hours to find such a nice tree in a good location.
The location is about 400m above sea level and the institute is at 110m (plus the 30m for the building itselfe). The RF link distance is 3.5 km, a new DX ;-)
I have a climbing gear and can climb easily on such trees. It is a lot of fun, one part of the project. I don't want to miss it :-)
BTW most of the work is to climb the hill, not the tree :-) There is no permission for cars to drive the way, which is an advantage, because this is why there is no civilisation and no QRM...

Hello Stefan.

 

I am very glad for you !

 

Good luck for your experiments.

 

Please, said me how meters high you need to climb up the tree to put your equipements ? I am very afraid for you about that !

 

Best way for you : rent an helicopter which can carry over 1000 pounds over a 2 miles path...

 

HI !

Hi all,

BTW, yesterday i officially requested a permission by the chief of the local forest district to put some electronic equipment on a high tree in the forest!! Solar, modules, batteries, WLAN-antenna and a box including electronic equipment. The location is 3 km distant from the institute, much more distant to man made noise sources then my garden and still in a direct view to arrange the WLAN-link! No answer yet...

Official permission granted an hour ago!
I can now prepare to build up the remote RX system in JN49IK36 Arround the tree where all the stuff will be mounted, there is no electricity in a radius of > 1000 m. A large WLAN yagi will be ordered today. First tests can start maybe this week...
