because of a 3:1 SWR<br />
probably due to the antenna<br />
being used (455-470 MHz).<br />
John also tried to find out<br />
why the 146.73 repeater is<br />
weaker than the 147.13<br />
machine. Out of the<br />
cavities .73 has 21 watts<br />
and .13 has 20.5 watts both<br />
using the same type of<br />
feedline and antennas yet<br />
.13 is the strongest and<br />
most sensitive. Next we<br />
will check the .73 lightning<br />
arresters, feed1ine, and the<br />
antenna.<br />
Ifyour antenna<br />
system looks like<br />
this and you<br />
want it repaired,<br />
replaced or even<br />
removed, please<br />

Stan made lists of<br />
things to be done at the<br />
site and found out what<br />
clamps were needed for the<br />
new crankup tower. Items on<br />
the WISH LIST: cut three<br />
large branches, clean up<br />
fallen limbs, make a parking<br />
place for 4-5 cars on OUR<br />
property, paint the<br />
building, extend the alarm<br />
system, replace the 146.73<br />
antenna, fence in the tower<br />
base, ventilation in bunker,<br />
install new battery charging<br />
system, new antenna for the<br />
METROLINK, shelf in battery<br />
shed, rewrap heliax<br />
connectors, cut dead wood,<br />
dig out several small<br />
stumps, weed whip, get rid<br />
of fallen limbs, replant<br />
several trees, etc. We<br />
could use some help. If you<br />
have never been to the<br />
repeater site, here is your<br />
chance to contribute to what<br />
needs to be done to keep the<br />

took the metal shed apart<br />
(an old 7.5' x 7.5' x 6'<br />

donated by the <strong>Palomar</strong><br />

some slight modifications.<br />

Another smaller cabinet will<br />

KC6KCQ-Mike worked on<br />
adjusting audio levels on<br />
the new 449.425 repeater<br />
with Jerry and they met with<br />
only limited success. They<br />
raised the audio level and<br />
also the level of the<br />
incoming PL tone to an<br />
objectionable level so they<br />
disconnected the PL until<br />
the incoming PL tone can be<br />
filtered out of the signal.<br />
Stan-W9FQN worked on<br />
