[Repeater-Builder] Re: Chance of a Lifetime (kinda OT)???
Just curious if anyone had experience with this. Steve, KE4MOB Hi Steve. I have found some rather high property ( 1000 ft HAAT) which I purchased myself. I have elected to avoid all the hastles of leasing and just built a weekend cabin up there and it houses an amateur repeater which I moved from a high tower previously at my house. Yes, it does make a GOOD field day site, especially for the VUF/UHF operations. I have just a 17 ft. pole now for an antenna mount but am going to install around 60-80 ft Rohn 25G when I get to it. I had to get a road dozed, gravel hauled, building, timber cleared, etc. 4 years later, it has made a good work project and the family is happy with the recreation aspects because we like the high country and bordering National Forrest. My advice is to own your own place and do with it as you please and build it up over time assuming there aren't neighbors with bad blood. It sounds like a good investment and likely is a chance of a lifetime. Another repeater that I helped a friend with for 13 years had to move 3 times because of small site changes that occurred.

Hi Steve, You could have a sports car in the driveway or a repeater site on a mountain for your mid life crisis. One of the above tends to be a better girl catcher, but you can shut the volume off on the other. :-) Two-way radio is a tough place to be, but there are many of us still making a go of it. Just depends on how hard you want to work or play. Depending on where you live, the going rate could be anything from $15,000. to $500,000. for the site. Jump in, the waters warm. cheers, skipp Steve Matda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's my situation. I have been looking for a new repeater site for quite awhile. One of my potential sites was owned and previously used by a BIG utility company for a microwave site about 10 years ago. It has since been abandoned and left to deteriorate. It's at about 3000 ft elevation, with an access road about 1/2 mile long that has for the most part eroded away to a four wheeler trail. There's still a transformer on the pole, but no drop, and a 20x10 concrete block building with two 4 masts sticking up about 15 ft from the roofline. Just for kicks and giggles, about a month ago I shot off an email to the corporate website to see if I could get access. Their land agent called me this morning. They want to sell it to me. At appraisal. 1 acre of mountaintop. Am I nuts for thinking this may be the opportunity of a lifetime--if not from a ham radio perspective, then as a business venture (site leasing, etc.)?

At any rate...I have contacted a property assesor. We'll see where that leads. Good luck! If nothing else, it ought to make a good field day site :) Yahoo!
