Jeff (N8QPJ) is pointing to the pan/tilt mechanism that keeps
the
Yagi receive antenna
attached to his helmet pointed to the plane he's flying.
Yagi antennas are quite directional and otherwise need an
assistant to point them at the airborne transmitter. Jeff found a
brilliantly simple solution around this. He showed video
clips taken with the setup and there's nothing funny about the
quality of the results.
Jeff and his friend Chris (N8UDK) have been involved in quite a
few interesting ATV projects back home in Michigan. You can keep
with what they've been up to at their site -- Intuitive Circuits LLC.
