Perhaps a lesson from Confucius would be in order as well, later paraphrased by Jesus......"Do NOT do unto others that which you would NOT like done to you". I think the Pastor might get the connection. Hmmm.... I hope.

I started to get interference on my 6 meter repeater. It turned out that the local church moved their FM station to the tower that I am on and put their antenna on the top of the 300 foot tower 5 feet away from my 6 meter antenna. They never modified their license for the new location and were way over the height on the tower that they were licensed for. The problem was that I was running an ARR preamp that worked fine until the FM station caused overload. They ignored all that I warned them about and I ended up taking the preamp off. (I'm a guest on the tower and I'm not about to complain to the owner). Anyway, they are running more power then they are licensed for, too high on the tower for a low power lFM license, and never got licensed for the new location. All this for spreading the word of the Lord. They mean well, but seems ironic to me. 73, Joe, K1ike On 7/14/2010 10:46 PM, [email protected] wrote: > I would not do it.
