A Saturday at the Tower
The crew arrived with tools and good humor. Safety and teamwork were the order of the day, and the swap happened smoothly. After the install, they fired up the repeater and saw better reach and clearer signals in the problem areas.
Five hams—Mike KB1QVO, Ralph KC1TLY, Tom AC1J, Bob AA1TX, and Paul KA1PAT—spent a fall Saturday at the club repeater site to upgrade the antenna. They swapped in the new antenna, and the improvements were evident in coverage areas where signals had previously been unstable.
The crew arrived with tools and good humor. Safety and teamwork were the top priorities, and the swap proceeded smoothly. After the install, they fired up the repeater and saw better reach and clearer signals in the problem areas.
The day wasn’t just about gear; it was about the camaraderie and the satisfaction of a job well done. The airwaves felt a little friendlier, and the five of them walked away with a sense of quiet triumph.
