RE: [Repeater-Builder] Removing Scotchkote - from the manufacturer
Tom Manning and Group, Sorry about that, I just saw your request for the dimensions on the DB 220 MHz antenna I have. Sometimes the Yahoo group messages get lost in the cyber bit bucket, sometimes I get the messages but several days late. If you can't get that info from Doug let me know and I will measure my antenna and post it here.

Hello Paul Would you do us a favor by making very careful measurements on the antenna and putting the info on the Repeater-Builder group. Several of us would like to modify commercial DB-224 antennas to cover 220Mhz. Skip May and I have attempted to get this done before and have not been successful.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Removing Scotchkote - from the manufacturer
Told us what we already knew! I just got an older 220 MHz DB antenna, before it goes up I will disassemble it and tighten all screws, nuts and terminals, reassemble it and goop with Scotchkoat before going up the tower. I have 8 antennas of my own on my tower and as of December of this year have been up there for 10 years with no problems. Also, I may add, the tower will be paid off in two months! There will be a celebration! Paul -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob M.
