[K4RY] moving the K4RY shack -- again

[William Capps]

Hello,
     Have anyone contacted COSAM and Physics for a possible K4RY location?  I do know there is a lot activity with the student high altitude balloons and Aubie satellites. Maybe a shack could be set up at Leach science center.  I know the Aubie sat students have been given a fairly large lab to pursue their endeavors. These student activities and K4RY seem a good match.
     If K4RY needs desks, tables, cabinets, chairs, for the new shack, just let me know.

- Auburn Lakes Road (I'm not familiar with the location, can you give me coordinate)?

The pavillion itself is located at:  32 40' 57.47"N; 85 30' 24.87"W

It is 2.4 miles NNE of the new fisheries building.

I was just saying that out in that area it would be radio-ideal.

We'd have to weigh the other factors to go out that far.


Unfortunately, on campus, most of the desirable land has been spoken for.

Everything from Broun through Haley and the stadium and out past the intramural fields is in a huge swale.  Anywhere in there, antennas are going to be pointing into hillsides or other buildings.  We don't want antennas to be near (or on) big buildings with lots of computers, nor do we want them within eyeshot of overhead power lines.  Both are big sources of noise.  We have seen that in spades in Broun.

The high land is up near the new parking deck and the new IT building.  You can see this if you put Google Earth in 3D mode and look at it from a low oblique position.

Maybe we can put our antennas next to the Old Rotation.  It is up high, and no one is going to build there anytime soon.

I'm going to be on campus Friday afternoon for a software seminar.  Maybe I'll drive around and see what I can see while I am there.
