From
Coihueco FD || Amber site
. All the equipment for transmitting the 4Ghz pulse was carried by myself to Malargue
. I will finish putting together parts in the next few days (batteries, cabling, momentary
switch, mounting and heatsink for power amp)
. Plan to test (at the AB) by the end of the week.

RISHI: “Friday Jorge and I installed flags on the three tanks, Chayo-co,
Valentin-Jr, Tanguito-Jr. I also have six batteries for use at these tanks
(two per tank--> 24V), along with battery boxes and cabling to the top of the tanks”

Probably 30 m forward is

Rishi:
Plan to transmit from the top of the FD building at CO, if
this fails to be seen at Chaya-co, then we can set up
approx 30 meters in front of AMBER with scaffolding so that we
can see by both AMBER and the tanks
. Tomorrow we will take the scaffolding out to CO
