These will be mounted on the door. Flaps will open using servo motors for the air intake filter and outlet fans.
It was a couple of days work to make these! Further work is proceeding on the thermostat control and servo system.

The QHUG Committee is making good progress on the remote site equipment. Recent activity has included:
A remote site enclosure was purchased by the QHUG committee in September. The cabinet is approximately 960mm x 960mm x 1800mm. It is made of 18mm plywood and covered in fibreglass inside and out for a fully weatherproof finish. The door is fitted with two security locks.
This is an ideal enclosure for a remote site and was obtained at a very reasonable price. Thanks also to Malcolm ZL2UDF for facilitating transport of the enclosure to Wellington.
