Antenna and tower work Completed

Work Dates: September 9, 11, 2019

A few improvements were completed to enhance the overall use and reliability of the repeater.

…not to mention

a lot of hard work and financial investment to pull this all together. We owe a debt of gratitude to our Club President, Mel Whitten, KØPFX for his unfailing motivation and expertise!

We also thank the dedicated team from SGR, Rick and Gary, for all the tower work. The ground crew, consisting of Earle WDØFCH, Rich KBØCCL, Gary NØGL, John WØNZG, Bob KDØJIY, and Mel KØPFX, assisted the tower crew as well as performed maintenance and prepping for the various phases of the project.
