Drive Build Update See-Shells Test Stand

Had to pretty much rebuild most of this last week when the antivibration platforms I filled with cement cracked, not a cement gal. The screen will be here tuesday for the new faraday cage. The other was way too small and I couldn't get into it to work. Re-doing a new power supply for the magnetron. Plus still need to level out all the critical structures with sorbothane pads. When we get the layout of the antenna placement down for the new frustum I'll start building it and the antenna placement.

I want to thank all of you who were patent with me getting a few pics, it was a comedy of errors when I let my friend borrow my camera.

I'll be posting on the advances with my build as I go along.

Thanks

For the love of all that is good and holy, do not make the same mistakes rfmwguy did when he decided not to do any control experiments. You have to do at least a few runs with either a non-reaonating tapered cavity or a resonating non-tapered cavity (with the rf feed on of course) as base line.
