attach feed to dish

[acencini]

figure out the piece of wood, etc

[edaniszewski]

This task also includes riveting on the arms that hold the feed to the dish.

Speaking of... does anyone know where those arms are?

[edaniszewski]

David says that he has the arms in his office, so when we need them, now we know where they are

[sandycurth]

It looks like it will be taking tomorrow and

[sandycurth]

There is a chance of lighting Saturday. Maybe we should wait until Monday or Tuesday next week to complete the dish.

[edaniszewski]

I don't think a chance of lightening is a deterrent for completing the dish, as long as its grounded. Today would be a good day to at least try and attach the arms so later, we can just put the feed on and be ready.

I have class all afternoon, so I don't think I can do it, but if anyone has time, attaching the arms (requires extension cord, rivets/riveting tool, power drill) and testing for RF #38 today would be good since the weather is good

[theDarkLard]

I'll be available from 3 to 4 to do this

I'm busy all afternoon. I'm also away this weekend so I could only really do Sunday evening or Monday

[Berrescuda]

Can anybody do Monday after dinner?

[wbuchanan28]

yes, I can, and I think Sandy can too.

[theDarkLard]

I can do this as well but won't there be an issue with trying to get on the roof that late?

@vpascow @wbuchanan28 @acencini: How do you guys feel about seeing what we can do about this at 4:10, and if we can't get it squared away without the other half of the class we'll try to reconvene after dinner?

How does everyone feel about that?

[wbuchanan28]

Sounds good to me

[theDarkLard]

This also sounds good to me!

The mount is still outside the metal shop. I can go get it with some help at around 3:30 if we think we will need it today.

[wbuchanan28]

The mount is on the roof! But we're gonna need to assemble everything tomorrow in class
