Cool Project Helps You Stay Ahead Of The Weather

Cool Project Helps You Stay Ahead Of The Weather

Your radio gear isn’t just battling noise and interference — it’s battling the weather too. Wind, rain, heat, and storms can damage antennas, detune coax, and change your RF propagation without warning. That’s why every ham needs a reliable way to monitor local conditions right inside the shack.

In this video, I’ll show you how a Raspberry Pi weather station gives you the real-time data you need to:
• Protect your antennas and coax from sudden storms 🌩️
• Plan safer operating when high winds or lightning roll in ⚡
• Understand how temperature, pressure, and humidity affect your radio signals 📡
• Keep your ham shack running strong all year long 🔧

Gear:
👉 Waveshare Display: https://geni.us/w0SeAho
👉 Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (w/Headers): https://geni.us/osldyU
👉 Waveshare Heatsink Kit: https://geni.us/nUHm
👉 MicroSD Card Holder: https://geni.us/utg9f
👉 5×7 Picture Frame: https://geni.us/Lu6FQ

👉 How-To Guide: https://temporarilyoffline.com/blogs/tos-blog/protect-your-shack-why-a-raspberry-pi-weather-station-is-the-missing-tool-for-hams

Stop guessing at what’s happening outside. With this DIY Pi-powered weather station, you’ll always know what conditions your gear is facing — and you’ll make smarter choices before keying up.

👉 Whether you’re into ham radio, Raspberry Pi projects, or just want to protect your shack investment, this project is the missing link you didn’t know you needed.

Drama with the Dead-Man Tower / Anchor Upgrades

Post author By admin
Post date October 9, 2025

Drama with the Dead-Man Tower / Anchor Upgrades

Important engineering upgrades in the antenna field – improving the foundations for the new lightweight tower, installing a Dead-Man anchor for the electric winch, and grounding the tower to the radial network.

The day starts with a look at the original winch post and the maths behind its load capacity. Although the first anchor could handle around 200 kg, the mechanical advantage of the increased height on the falling-derrick (not a “gin pole”!) introduced additional torque and stress. The solution? An engineered Dead-Man anchor buried crosswise – the same principle used in bridge and harbour design.

We pour, cure, and backfill the new anchor, review older ones, and make key decisions about reinforcement and concrete volume. Then it’s on to grounding: bonding the radial field directly to the tower base and cabinet using copper strap and self-amalgamating tape for long-term corrosion resistance.

Along the way, we cover:

➡️ Calculating load and fulcrum points on a small tower system
➡️ Practical tips for mixing and pouring small-batch concrete outdoors
➡️ Grounding and bonding strategy for multi-antenna installations
➡️ Managing radials around automated mowers
➡️ Handling real-world compromises when parts or materials are missing

Also featuring: spontaneous design decisions, visits from Junior and Django, drill bit snapping mid-hole!

By the end of the day, all anchors are upgraded, the tower base is bonded, and we’re ready for the next phase – raising the lightweight tower in time for CQ Worldwide.

0:00 – Intro & plan of attack
0:45 – Why the old anchor wasn’t enough
2:00 – Mixing and pouring the new concrete
6:00 – Upgrading existing anchors (and some decisions!)
8:00 – Explaining the Dead-Man concept
10:00 – Improvised engineering & “Callum moments”
13:30 – Dogs arrive on site
16:00 – Drilling, bending & building the Dead-Man anchor
