Screenshots
The pages that operate the station are behind a password, for reasons that should be obvious — they key a transmitter and move antenna relays on a ranch where nobody is standing. These are pictures of them, so you can see what is there without being able to touch it.
These images are not live. They are still captures, taken on 6 September 2026. Nothing on this page updates, refreshes or reflects the current state of the station — the values you see are frozen at the moment the picture was taken.
The real pages are password-protected resources, so they cannot be embedded here. For live data that is public, see Rig Status, which streams the actual state of the radio as it changes.
Relay Control
Four relay channels on the Pi at Graford. Relay 1 closes the Flex 6700’s REMOTE ON line to bring the radio out of standby; relay 2 is PTT and drops itself after fifteen seconds. The indicator at the bottom is the one that matters — it reports whether the site poller is still alive, because without it the switches are decorative.
Antenna Genius
The eight-port antenna switch. Two antennas are connected — the longwire the site exists for, and a fan dipole for twenty, fifteen and ten metres. Port 8 is marked as a hazard because it goes nowhere. The page reads the radio’s transmit state every five seconds and refuses to move the switch while it is on air.
Site Audio
Recordings from the USB microphone inside the enclosure — fans, relays, the sound of the box itself rather than the receiver. Fan noise tells you about a remote site long before a graph does. Capturing a new sample is currently out of service, and the page says so rather than pretending otherwise.
If any of these look out of date, they probably are — the pages themselves keep changing and the pictures do not. They are here to show the shape of the thing, not its current readings.
