Tuesday Feb 14th, Valentines

Wife cooked us up some eggs for breakfast. It was a very pretty day today.

The FCC sent me my license to operate and my callsign so I got to work on my 2M radio. It took about 2 hours to run the coax through the attic, into the garage and through the garage wall into my cave. I had to remove several cables from that opening to allow the connector though the wall. Those wires powered the most critical items in my network so they could be run on solar. (As it turns it out it still didn’t fit and pulling the wire out was a waste of time.)

  18. Bruce Springsteen on Feb 2

I’ve always had an issue getting an accurate outside temp with any sensor close to a building (Home). 

With no wind the building heats the sensor to give a false reading.  My first attempt was putting a sensor outside under a hat (Chimney cover) which was quite successful.  I did have some corrosion on the connectors after several months.

When I moved the sensor to the fence I wanted to make sure that the wireless bridge was reliable before doing too much engineering. 

I put all the elecronics in a 1-1/2 PVC pipe with a cap on it and strapped it to the fence as shown below.

I had also worked out using a 20W solar panel and 8AH battery box to power the 0.5W sensor   

(20WH/Day load, 100WH battery, 60WH/Day solar in bright sun. 5WH/Day cloudy.)

To my utter amazement the temps are accurate enough to not expose them to the weather as I have done in the past.
