OK.
One of the repeaters I help maintain (145.170 located in
Connellsville, PA on the mountain) recently lost an antenna in the
wind storms that hit us around the beginning of December.
Antenna we had on the tower was a Celwave PD340-3 (If you have never
seen a 4 bay folded dipole with the top 3/4 of the antenna flapping
in the wind, trust me you don't want to. . . Saw the darn thing in
the middle of the wind storm blowing straight out side ways from the
tower holding on by the harness. . . )
Past experience with trying to find a "new" replacement shows that
Celwave doesn't make this model anymore. (Last summer replacing the
antenna on 147.045 for W3PIE)
Along the lines of the 4 Bay folded dipole arrays what does anyone
recommend? (Familiar with the DB224E antenna) Anyone making these
with an internal harness instead of an external harness? (Weather in
SW PA is not user friendly especially when putting the antennas on
the top of a mountain)
If this has been covered in the list prior I apologize, have not had
time to look in the archives so if covered prior give me a rough idea
of when so I can look.
Otherwise, reply on the list or direct to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would
be appreciated.
Thanks
