Llandulas radar site

Radar layout
The 16 receive (Rx) antennae are .5 km west of the 4 transmit (Tx) antennae and directly between the cabin housing the control equipment and the sea. The Rx antennae are .5m above the Tx antennae.

The Rx antennae are in a line array aligned 102.2 degrees from N, making the boresite (90 degrees perpendicular to the array) 12.2 degrees. Data are recorded every 20 minutes but only the hourly values are transmitted back to POL for display on the internet.

Site problems
- power surges causing potential hardware problems and time out
- rabbit/squirrel burrowing/knawing damaging cables
- contract grass cutters taking out the guy lines supporting the antennae
