Locked Updated WILMAR tower info


 

Tony WD0HXV and I N0QBH were out to the HHS tower site again today and this time we did a little more sleuthing regarding the feedline to the tower top 400' up.
Much to our delight, we discovered the 1/2' hardline in the transmitter building from the the Club's 444.800 repeater and the 145.670 WILMAR packet node transitioned to 7/8" diameter as it left the building.
This means it has much less line loss than we originally thought!

This is the antenna up there for both digi and 440. It's either a 5.5 db or 5.0 db version. Pointed East. There is an unused antenna up there but does not tune well in ham band 2 meter?

Are you referring to the unconnected cable in the exiting bundle photo?
We noticed it was marked as high SWR. Maybe it's business band VHF.


 

Ya 150-164 mhz,? not a db 224 though but a db 616ab.?
