RE: [Repeater-Builder] GROL - benefit?
I remember years ago there was an article in an MRT magazine about a TV station owner who had a ham working for him as a tech. While travelling to an out of town location to do a remote, they had lost the feed-horn from a link dish. The owner stated the tech made a temporary feed by taking a piece of coaxial cable stripping the insulation back, folding the braid and center conductor to create a dipole and used it It saved the day. He again said whenever I get a job applicant and if his/her resume shows being a HAM operator guess what Just goes to show you that it does have value.
