Status: Our financial situation is improving as we pay off the debt incurred this year and we are starting to build a daily routine again.
Plans: Spend some time drawing up a plan for next year and align our 11 month old budget to that plan.
Narrative: Well I was going to work on our finances, didn’t happen. Phones were pretty busy this morning working out finding a dentist in Florida and whether Florida Blue covered it.
The afternoon was spent playing with Pi-Aware receiver and the new antenna my son sent me. I mounted the antenna on a pipe from a speaker stand and taped the pipe to the bathroom vent for the evening. The antenna increased the range by about a third and the receiver is displaying aircraft greater than 150NM.
I am on the fence whether to return to the 1/4 wave antenna since there is no real need for a long distance unit with all the Pi-Aware receivers near Atlanta.
The current thought is to move the larger collinear antenna to a relative’s house further East where there are no receivers and return to the 1/4 wave antenna to support short range reception of non ADS-B aircraft for triangulation at the homestead. (MLAT)
My son and I did rebuild our network between us tonight, it did take a couple of hours. (I’m a bit rusty.)
Pi News: Cables for the large Pi-Aware antenna should arrive today, I don’t want to buy something to mount it with until I’ve tried the antenna. It will also give me the opportunity to build a Pi-Aware for an offspring that doesn’t seem to have anyone around him with one.
Tomorrow: It is supposed to rain all day, but Tim’s Flight Aware receiver and antenna arrives tomorrow.
