Portable LBA

Yesterday we reported that the LBA test aerials have been dismantled. But another thing that we are trying in addition to those static tests are "portable LBA" frames.

The concept here, is that four metal struts can be used to provide a rigid base for an LBA post and LNA cap. This means that the aerial can be easily dismantled, put in a vehicle and moved to a new location.

It would also work well for positional tests and RFI surveys.
