28JUL98 - Informal Integration Meeting.
Mike WA5TWT has the box for BLT-13. John WA5WOD wants to know if we're going to look at it, paint it or stuff it.

We decided to have another beer.
Time for Mike and Andy W5ACM to clean up some lose ends from the last integration meeting.

OK, safety glasses on? Power UP!
People on the left. Payloads to the right. Payload Coordinator Andy suggests that the TNC audio be routed to both the 70-cm transceiver and the HATS TR2 1.2 GHz ATV transmitter. Payload Master Mike agrees, and also suggests that Andy needs to find the soldering iron out and get to work.
What a mess... but here's the camera!
SMILE! You're on the air!
It works! The pile of stuff on the workbench is transmitting a signal ALL the way to the other side of the room! The W5SXD/N5RPQ computer and video overlay system works, along with all the other devices in the chain. The HATS TR2 transmitter and amplifier came up running without mishap. Mike decided to paint the box at home. The final integration meeting is scheduled for August 5th at 8 PM...
