To fill in the blank spots: * Site is in the southern end of New Jersey * 60' building has no HVAC or elevator equipment (best description is a fire lookout tower) * ~1/4 of the buildings have basements * Used hardware that we have: UHF Motorola Quantar, 200 feet of LDF5-50A, and a Stationmaster 455-8D Fiberglass Antenna (470-482 MHZ according to the part number) * Pipe mount brackets for the antenna
New items will likely be the radios, my thumbnail budget was $550 per radio (with charger and battery).
