Boy that brings back memories. I was up there in the early 90s to correct the
audio problem on the 146.88 Master Executive 2 and found that the receiving
antenna on 444.6 repeater was bad... took a couple of bandpass cavities and
made a duplexer which worked but the repeater still had some desense due to a
preamp that was getting overloaded and I didn't have time to bypass it. Byrom,
a retired engineer from 39, was trustee of the repeaters at the time and his
son and I spent several hours up there that day.. somewhere I have a picture
that I took as I leaned over the edge of the Candelabra pointing straight down.
There is one blue pixel that was my Chevy S10 Blazer sitting at the base of the
tower! I'm going to have to find that!!

I'm not sure if this has been passed around before (sorry if it's a DUP), but I
thought this was pretty neat.
