Project:

Delta Shorebird Use Project (#303)
Short name: Delta Receiver
Short description: Motus receiver stations located on farms near Indianola, Mississippi, USA.
Description: One Motus receiver station on Failing Farms grain bins (West Station), and another on ground (East Station).

For the West Station the antennas are approximately 50ft AGL with two 166.380 MHz 3 element yagis, two 434 MHz 10 element yagis, one 166.380 MHz omni, and two 434 MHz omni antennas (one set to detect CTT nodes) are mounted on top of the grain bin. Both pair of these yagi antennas are on a east-west heading.

For the East Station the antennas are mounted on a ground based pop-up style mast. Two 166.380 MHz 3 element yagis, two 434 MHz 10 element yagis, one 166.380 MHz omni, and one 434 MHz omni antennas are installed along the mast. Both pair of these yagi antennas are on a north-south heading.
