The Mighty Radar!

Once a month i'll go to the radar site for some maintenance job, but this time it's quite unique as this trip i was able to get to the radar scanner it self! credit to the people who allowed me to. Just as you can see behind me is the radar scanner dish, it's huge!! so much huge!! i guess about 4 meter large!

of course the sacnner is OFF during the climb... kalo x mandul wooo radiasi nih! heheh oppss!!




Below is the signal transmitter of the radar.. the yellow like plastic actually called as feed horn, it's look simple but damn expensive!! feed horn functioned by filtering the signal and widening it while it's also to prevent any water to the trasmitter.

The transmitter also has a built it vacuum which will suck off any humidity and water from it. This is necessary to prevent the transmitter to malfunctioned and cause the radar to brokedown.



The dish of the scanner.. with a 4 meters wide!



Me of course! in ffront of the transmitter, switched off of course!! nk mati kena swing? :P



This is NOT a radar scanner, this is the Radio Direction Finder. The structure is sky rocket high!! i'm definitely won't dare to climb it!! it's tooo high! furthermore it's at the edge of the roof!! but i saw 'cicak' biasa jer.. weh3 x takut tuh! hehe
