Blower system keeps the GATR inflated and maintains correct reflector shape
|
| I set up two antennas inside while we waited for a thunderstorm to move past
|
| Laying out the hold-down plates and aligning them to the azimuth

Monitoring the pressure during inflation
|
| The feed, LNB, and BUC have been mounted in front of the reflector (pointed at T-12 with look angle of 6 degrees)
|
| On the network at T1 speed (1.4Mbps/1.2Mbps)
