Learning how to inflate the GATR
Closing the upper hemisphere zipper
1.8 meter GATR antenna fully inflated
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)
Pointing the GATR at H1 on my third day of training (this was my first solo setup)
