Callisto

Callisto will be the new name for Pot as it is being turned into a CTWUG owned site.

We will be doing a bunch of work on Sunday after the Europa visit to get the site in a stable condition.

Will post some pictures after the install, and also where we plan to head with this site.

Main admin of this site will be Wacko141/Goose.

Great news everyone!

I’ve just upgraded my side for Goose-Callisto link.

Link should hopefully be back up on Sunday.

Some pictures of the maintenance we did at Callisto a week ago.

Our job consisted of the following:

  1. Remounting all bent brackets/poles
  2. Relaying damaged Ethernet cable
  3. Aligning kit
  4. Doing some tidy up work in the enclosure

Still a lot of work left, but will post any updates here.

Take note, we are working here with oldish kit. As you can see, the one dish was even mounted up side down, so now the LMR’s are all wrong (It also was damaged previously).

Maybe if DDAY goes well all these issues can be fixed, properly :wink:

Thanks Goose and Tinuva for assisting on the day.

Oh right…I was meant to upload pictures :stuck_out_tongue:

Ek sien daai 2 grids is dieselfde gepolarize. Een (dink die onderste een) wys na my toe. Dis baie maklik vir my om by my kit uit te kom so laat weet as julle jom 90 degs wil swaai.

Hi
Dankie vir al die harde werk wat julle doen.

Wacko141 aka Goose could we perhaps get u on the Durbanville Whatsapp Group?That would help with setting up the link to Morne04 also?

Thanks

Die ander grid is op die oomblik net as 'n toets link na Stiaanm, ons gaan dit seker nog upgrade na 'n dish.

So ek dink vir nou, hou ons die polarity van jou link net so, ek het ingelog en daai link sync mooi.

Hi
Is Callisto deel van Forum Area Bellville of Forum Area Durbanville?

Dankie

Callisto is part of Bellville bud

What Jypels said.

If you guys want to be kept in the loop of whats going on or have any ideas, please join us in the Bellville IRC channel otherwise you will be left in the dark.

As Diabolix and jypels said.

Wacko141 is the new administrator of Callisto. He is very active in the Bellville IRC channel so best place to be to find out what is going on and future plans would be to be in that channel.

Also worth mentioning is the guys in the Bellville IRC channel do not just deal with Bellville nodes :slight_smile: There is alot of knowledge as well as some good banter in that channel. I mean we recently helped a user in Plattekloof connect…

So come join us…
There is only one rule…

Everything is Diabolix’s fault and he should be blamed for anything that happens :smiley:

EDIT: Fixed my horrible spelling mistakes… Dammit Diabolix!

Callisto will be going down today for maintenance.

The plan for today:

>Align links: Goose,Kingpin
>Fix rb configs
>Neaten up IP assignment
>Investigate 2 unresponsive rbs
>Maybe move Callisto WugPi
>Eat Ice-cream

I will update as soon as everything is back up and running.

Update:

>Goose and Kingpin aligned
>Unresponsive rbs fixed
>WugPi removed for now

No ice-cream???
