Can the pi keep a copy of what it is sending to radarbox in a local log or DB?

It would be helpful to plot the distance and direction for the station as I move the antenna about.

It would also be interesting to record the change in the atmospheric refraction over the year, and against the weather. Such tables exist for microwave links up and down New Zealand, but not out to sea.

Despite the large metal bracket right beside the antenna :). It was nearly as good sitting in the house window, and the house is 10m lower.

When it was about 3.5m above the shed, I got better coverage North West, through East and around to the South West. It was just on a couple of sections of 32mm plastic conduit, and was swaying in the wind. With the storm coming, it needed to come down.

I want to try it on my comms tower. I don't want to disturb the existing services on the tower though, so I am sorting out an enclosure and a new run of ethernet cable, so I can use PoE to the Pi. I have everything I need, but the weather needs to cooperate.

The range has been less during the last few days. We have had a lot of rain, and I have been getting line of sight distances (estimated 220NM). In slightly better weather, I was definitely getting refraction over the horizon and seeing about 50NM more than I should.
