We are continuing to make progress on our 2m EME Station build. The latest step in the project was to assemble and test the Elevation Rotator and the MAP65 Preamp System. The article at the link above explains what we did to complete this step in our project and to test what is a major sub-system in our 2m EME Station.

This part of the project includes installation and testing of the MAP65 EME Preamp Housing on the rotator assembly. This unit and the rotator are tested along with a Green Heron Engineering RT-21 Rotator Controller and a MAP65 EME Sequencer.

We are getting close to installing our new 2m EME Array on the tower. The final preparation step in our project will be the final assembly and preparation of a large H-frame that will mount the four antennas in our EME Antenna Array.
