3.8m dish, Monrovia, Liberia.
Applying the final torque, earth station with a 2.4m dish in Luanda, Angola. The dish was not new and when we came to install it, we discovered that some parts of the feedhorn support are missing. We were able to compose a solution and managed to bring the link up, which has been operating problem-free ever since.
Installation of a Motorola trunking system. Here, the antenna is attached to the leg of a TV tower allowing a perfect coverage to the valley where the customer operates. Wako Cungo, Angola.
Working at night at a customer's site which was very different from the regular standards…
Moving a 6.8m dish from one satellite to another at Kano, North Nigeria.
This cabinet had very live traffic on it, so when we wanted to organize it, we had to proceed with caution. We were not permitted to disconnect most of the cables, but we managed to improve it a bit…

Ex-soldier of the army, now working as a guard in peaceful Catinda, Angola.

Memory of the long civil war in Angola: It appears that a shrapnel hit this rock, now grass is growing back in the cracks.
This shiron box had strange noised coming out of it. Opening it discovered inside spiders, cocoons and dead insects. It looks like the shiron box was placed outside.
The box was cleaned and now it is working fine.
A bit difficult installation: At this site, we had to climb the 6m ladder in order to use the mobile phone. The pouring rain and the muddy ground didn’t help either.
