Transmitter & Antenna setup in a silo
I am planing on putting a antenna & transmitter in a 80ft silo that is
concrete & meat without any power. I need to get power to the transmitter, it would be to far to run a power coard that is out. The idea I had was use two solar panels or wind power. What do guy think I should do to get power to the transmitter that would be kinda easy to setup. |

Consider your current drain, then consider solar vs wind power
solar, low current supply, relies on light, doesn't work well at night wind, higher current supply, relies on wind, works day or night cover all options, go for wind and solar, into batteries and bob's your auntie Paul |

Should be metal but you should already know that.

? Almost every silo I have had the pleasure of serviceing, cleaning,
loading, etc all had a source of power to run the equiptment. Is it just that the power at the location is not accessable to run a bit of cabling to your location? Personally I like the Wind Turbine and battery idea [plus necesary power conditioning hardware], if you have a place to secure the mechanism, otherwise resort to a nice large solar array, battery banks, and appropiate power conditioning hardware. Either way, IMPO, it would be much nicer to use an available source. "DJboutit" wrote in message ... Should be metal but you should already know that. |

decreased the available storage space of our news server by typing the following: What about a DC injection system? You can run signal and 12V/9V power from an injector at ground level and pass it up a hard coax to the amplifier on/next to the antenna. There are DC injection systems for all kinds of RF sources. What frequency do you plan on using and how much wattage? Glen I am planing on putting a antenna & transmitter in a 80ft silo that is concrete & meat without any power.
