Here are some behind the scene pictures from the NASCAR Truck Races in Homestead, March 2001. 900 MHz car telemetry receivers
Low budget repeater antennas
East to West, along the catwalk on top of the grandstands
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant in the background
Cell site and Homestead repeater antennas
These are the 7 GHz receivers that track the portable transmitters in the Pits.
Inside the truck for the in-car cameras
A 2.4 GHz Part 15 transmitter used to send the program feed down to the pit area so people there can see the program feed.
Views from the roof
This will give you some idea how fast the camera men have to move to track the cars moving over 100 MHP way below them:
Pit Row in action
The Helicopter hovering in place at 1500'. This was where the video from the cars was repeated back down to the in-car truck.
Now some shots from the Sunday NASCAR Truck Race
The Pit area while under a Yellow flag.
The 7 GHz receiver tracking a camera crew in the Pits. The guy running it is a student from the U of Miami.
The roof as seen from Pit Row. You can see the main cameras.
This is one of the 3 person camera crews in the Pit area as seen through the fence
Here's one of the 7 GHz transmitters. The antenna is the white tube below the pink duster. The duster is there so the guy following this crew from the roof can find it visually very quickly. The aluminum box with the heat sink is the transmitter.
This is the transmitter operator at work. Another U of M student.
The camera man (a fellow ham radio operator, Bob NZ1E) getting ready for a shot while standing on the wall in the Pit.
