Cabling the Mills Cross Radar

Cabling the Mills Cross Radar

The T-shaped Mills Cross Radar panels are placed on balloons and covered with plywood with a stiffening tower on top. Stephen, Charles and Daniel are mounting all the cables for the transmitters, recievers and gps control. All the cables are attached to the racks in the back of the PistenBully and at the end of the day all cables were attached. We are very excited to see the first results tomorrow.
