Dc power and ground at Gateway XE2EOS

Submitted by N6KZB on Sun, 2014-08-10 01:54

Here are a few photos showing the large commercial battery system and UPS for XE2EOS.
Also the ground and protection. Site is remote at 8000 foot mountain near Guatemalan border.
Thunderstorms abound in this area, site is between both coasts. Power going out is often, but returns
in a few hours. Battery system should last several days. Internet is occasionally a problem due to
the long haul Ubiquiti link to obtain it. Thanks to auto forwarding, traffic still moves to other Gateways
via their connection to a CMS.

Introduction and Profile

Submitted by KF7RSF on Sat, 2014-08-09 23:10

Manufactured in the early 50's in a slow process totally lacking in quality control. Released to the public in 1952. Dorky geekiness was recognized at an early age when it was noted that I had read all the books in the first grade library before starting school (Mom was a schoolteacher)

Built a 20KV generator with no moving parts other than dripping water in Jr High. Many burnt fingers were a foretaste of greatness to come. Owned every Science set Gilbert ever made!
