Heyho,

weather has been pretty much.... wet during the last couple of weeks. Not much progress with the Antenna (finetuning) and alike.

I've been working with the software instead. Data acquisition and logging works fine. I've some trouble with the I/O-Ports but that's just a matter of time. Also, the chassis got prepared.

Usually, there's some warm days in December. If things work out I might be able to "deploy" the project then.

Kind greetings,
