*** Find ultra-violet resistant, shielded Ethernet cable (uncrimped) from junction box to server rack.

* Plan framework for cable mounting
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: knowing the lengths ans types of cable.
** Sub tasks
*** Design and source parts for junction box.
*** Build junction box.
*** Determine how cables should be mounted along the mast / crossbeam and against the wall of SUSU.

=== MOUNTING / ANTENNAS ===
* Design source and build mounting for Wi-fi dish
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: none
** Sub tasks
*** Design mounting bracket that can mount dish at 90 degrees to standard mounting bracket.
*** Source parts needed for mounting bracket.
*** Build mounting bracket.

* Finish HF dipole refurbishment
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: none
*** Clean the internals and other critical outstanding parts of existing HF fpole set of parts
*** Determine and spec out further parts needed for the HF dipole
*** Source further parts needed for the HF dipole.

* Find mounting bracket for HF dipole
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: none

** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: none

* VNA testing
* Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: Various cables need to be purposed and connectors attached and access to a VNA.
** Subtasks
*** VNA test 2m beam antenna cable
*** VNA test 868 antenna cable
*** VNA test triband cable
*** VNA test hf dipole cable
*** VNA test 70cm antenna cable

** Assignees: undecided
** Dependecies: none
** Sub tasks
*** Design water-proof housing
*** Source any parts consumables need to build and attach housing to dish
*** Build water-proof housing

=== ROTATOR/FRAMEWORK ===
* Source main mast pole
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: none

* Identify rotator mounting options for existing wall brackets
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: Access to the AR drone video inxpecting the current mast and mountings.

* Replace screws on azimuth rotator
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies: none (Screws already purchased)

* Check elevation rotator mounting screws are not rusty
** Assignees: undecided
** Dependencies; none

* Plan and build rotator cable connections
** Assignnees: undecided
** Dependencies: none
** Sub tasks:
*** Determine how we should manage the various wires that make up the connector cable so we can provide a simple connection setup when Estates and Facilities put up the rotator.
*** Source components needed for connector
*** Build connector

* Design notification plaque to be placed at base of mast
** Assignees: undeciuded
** Dependencies: none
** Sub tasks
*** Determine how the plaque will be made.
*** Determine what needs to go the mast: acknowledgements and safety / RF warnings.
*** Source the plaque (probably use laser cutter/etcher in ECS machine room)

===INTERNAL ===
