COVID cases are still climbing up for Georgia. We’re headed toward the record high for the state we had back in January.
The good news is it seems the shots in January are working.
Narrative: Final packing before the limo gets here. We moved up our trip to the airport by 30 minutes because of the threat of rain. No traffic to the airport, nor was their any traffic at the airport. The lines for baggage drop-off were also non existant. Security was a breeze and the only complication was our gate was in the International terminal (Concourse F)
Shuttle to get the car was no lines, nor was there a line at the rental agency. We had lunch at Palace Station and then went down for a nap before driving to Pahrump. The room had no water, no way to flush the commode! We left the hotel and headed to Pahrump about 2, everything here was in good shape. We flushed out the water pipes and turned on the hot water heater. I also adjusted the thermostat schedule to lower the temperature at night to 87.
I put the “radar box” receiver on the Flight Aware Raspberry Pi and it worked with no changes. The only issue I have with the radar box receiver is it gets very hot.
The heat is transferred down the SMA connector so I put a heat sink on that. I checked and the heat sink is working great, the receiver is not smok’n hot anymore. If I had used a large format cable, it would have absorbed the heat from the receiver.
I put the antenna out on the back porch roof and we are getting excellent results.
It is receiving UAT978 past 85 miles, which is pretty good.
I checked their feeder coverage and my new site was listed on Flight Aware.
I noticed the humidity of the garage had drifted north. I assumed that the bucket on the dehumidifier was full. I ran the pump manually and the dehumidifier started running again.
