Installing The Power Predictor

I finally got round to installing the Power Predictor yesterday after performing a 24 hour test, as recommended in the operating instructions. Unfortunately I didn’t test the 6m extension cable, which has turned out to be faulty so I have erected the mast with only the 5m of cable which came with the Power Predictor. This means that I won’t be able to keep an eye on the current reading, but this shouldn’t pose any problems because I need to leave the Power Predictor on the mast for at least 30 days, before I can generate my online power report.

Power Predictor Arrives

I’m pleased to announce that the Power Predictor arrived on Tuesday, after ordering it on Saturday, which I thought was pretty quick delivery. The 6m extension cable arrived separately yesterday (Wednesday). We’re planning on erecting the device at the weekend, after Stockport Radio Society have finished their radio competition. The instructions state that we should do a 24 hour test first, before leaving it for at least one month to gather our wind speed data.
