Locked COMMS trailer work day on 6/1/24 9am

 

On Saturday, June 1st at 9 am to 11:30 am, I'd like to get a few people to help look over the communications trailer.? It will be light duty involvement like chasing antenna coax and power supply leads to figure out where they go. There is a couple repairs that need to be made but I'm not sure we'll get to that on this go around. If you feel like lending a hand for a couple hours, it would be greatly appreciated.
 

What do we have available for cable tracing tools besides a VOM?
 

I could on the 31st but not the 1st.

N0QBH Mike B, I have the tools for doing a couple of the repairs on the outside of the trailer and a couple of good used batteries to replace the ones that are on the front of the trailer. The Kandiyohi Emergency Management decals along with a few others could be removed as well and I'll look into getting new club decals and logo made to replace them. As far as chasing the antenna coax and testing them, it should be pretty straight forward using a multi meter and a VNA. Making all of the lights, outlets and power supplies work shouldn't be a problem, we'll just have to figure out what goes to what and where all of the breakers and switches are.
KC0CAP Dan G, I don't know what my schedule looks like Friday afternoon yet so I'm not sure if I would be able to meet you there, but you could ask either Ace or Mellissa for the door code if you want to check things it out by yourself.
 

Sorry, but the decals have to stay on. ?You can look at adding, but the decals have to stay. ?Especially the Willmar Fire decal. ? The trailer is on loan (long term) from WFD and Emergency Management. ?There is actually someone that comes out from FEMA yearly to make sure that we are still using the trailer. We had to add the WFD decal a couple of years ago because they were on the grant to accept the trailer. ?
 

I have a tone tracer that I can bring.? It is an inexpensive one, but I have found it helpful a number of times.? I will also bring my nano VNA.? That is my Saturday off, so I will be there.
 

Thanks Ace, I didn't know that.?
 

Looking forward to checking out the comms trailer Saturday morning.

Will it be inside or out of the shed?
