LFAA AAVS1 groundplane deployment
| Submitter: | Pieter Benthem |
| Description: | During a nice Australian summer week at the MRO, the groundplanes of all four AAVS1 stations were deployed. As we use rectangle sheets and the stations are setup as a circle, we use 94 sheets arranged in portrait orientation to north and 6 sheets are in landscape orientation. The total number of sheets enables us to cover a 40 meter diameter circle, hosting a 35 meter antenna placement. All sheets are 6.0m x 2.4m in 4mm wire with 200mm x 200mm squares. All sheets will be twitched together with 'Galfan' wire loops (95% zinc, 5% aluminum). Note that the polygon is symmetrical east/west and also north/south, but NOT on 45 degree diagonals. |
