TCHITIN PASSIVE
Another one of those moon scapes!
Engineered by Mon Bains, this system from Aiyansh
to Kitsault,
was one of the few in the world that used Double
Passives.
It was quite an engineering accomplishment
at the time.
The system was constructed in 1969-1970.
To enable the building of this passive
a living quarters was constructed of 2x4,
and 2 layers of plastic.
It was built by myself and Rolly Anderson.
After a couple weeks of use,
a bear got into the building and destroyed
everything!
Rolly stayed at this cabin later on,
and cooked for the antenna crew.
