The use of aluminum cable seemed to became popular when the cost of
copper was sky high. It became cost effective for some companies
(according to the bean counters) to use aluminum. Supply of copper was
beginning to become a problem, so some coax manufacturers were promoting
aluminum as a
Got my First Phone in 1973. It has generated several employment
opportunities for me. However, having an Amateur license has opened even
more opportunities.
Got out of the Air Force in 1974 and went looking for a job in broadcast
radio. One local station was looking for an engineer.

I don't think that they've been at 449 MHz. That's the new part. They were much
lower in the band.

That could be true... didn't remember where they were... maybe they were
down in the weak-signal portion of the band, and that's why I remembered
This is off topic, but does anyone have a source for property and liability
insurance for tower sites? Looking for a company that specializes in
towers. My regular insurance agent proved to be useless in this regard.
I can dig up the company I use given a few hours-have used them for over
15 years as a tower owner-

Nate, as noted in the original posting, (below,) they've been at 404 MHz since
1992, and they're apparently wide enough to be taking out 406 MHz personal
locator beacons.
Granted, that would be a bigger issue for satellites looking down at radar
pointing up, but it'll probably still be Son of

No - I recall when this was mentioned
being at 449 MHz about 10 years ago.

According to the NOAA site:
The original network consisted of (31) 404 MHz profiler sites located in
the central United States and one site in Alaska. Since January of 2000,
there are (32) 404 MHz profilers in the central United States and three 449
MHz profilers in Alaska.

I agree with Chuck,
This is according to an EPA site:
Prototypes:
404 MHZ (74 cm) profiler developed for the
Wind Profiler Demonstration Network
(WPDN) in 1988.
449 MHZ (67 cm) profiler operates at the
approved frequency for UHF profilers and will
eventually replace the 404 MHZ units.

When I got a job in the 1970's at a big LMR shop in Southern

Anybody know the feedpoint imprdance od the DB-212 lowband antennas. They
look to be too far apart for 300 or 450 ohm, and seem to be too far apart for
600 ohm. any old DB Product engineers out there who would wish to grace
