[W6YRA] Reminder: Club net Wednesday at 6PM (& shack tour)

[Ryan Caron]

That'd be me. Sent you an email off list with the code, but we only have 
one roof key.

I'm pretty sure we're already on the stacked dipoles. I'll check again 
to be sure. We were only using the short yagi before we got the 
duplexer. My apologies to everyone for the confusion.


In terms of getting even better coverage, I'd be cautious about raising 
the antenna. Our tower issues aside, We're only 13 miles from N6MQS, and 
we already have a LOT of overlap (we're green, he is purple, overlap is 
the tan/salmon color)

Jeff, attached is a path plot and Google Earth of field strength to your 
approximate QTH. It is certainly a deep shadow, but I'm curious if you 
can hear the repeater from there, just not hit it. To clear terrain 
obstructions, the campus antenna would have to be raised from 120ft AGL 
to 608 AGL (and this is just line of sight). That's quite a tower!

On your side you just have to get to 48ft AGL to get the same link.
