Engineers Without Borders OC: Honduras

Day 2 in Review & Pictures

We learned a lot today.

Its about 10PM here, and we have done a 18 hour day.

We went to church, did some more interviews, had lunch with the whole team, did a pre-meeting with the project leads, the technical team started pre-wiring the outdoor cat-5e, and the rest of the team members went grocery shopping/preparing dinner.

I want to get the Education team on here to write a few words, but most of them have slept.

As far as the tech goes, we have done a dry-run of how to mount and ground the equipment.  We learned what we need to buy, and what needs to get done.  So its not a surprise when the paid-tower-contractor comes up to install.  Which by the way, does it without a harness! ( :) EWB-USA ) at least no EWB-OC members are doing this kind of work.

We sent a few words out to our tech-list to figure out if grounding for radio  & grounding for AC needs to be the same, or can we splice in the two (or will that cause a problem). 

Hopefully we get answers before the scheduled 12-Noon arrival of the contractor; we would have liked to push the guy back, but it seems like that may not be possible.

Lets see how Day 3 goes.  I will have to make time to interview more people & the local Hondurans!  Right now, the implementation takes priority.
