ation sunday just to have a look around. the 736 was on 6 meters as if s=
omeone was using it. i walked outside and could not see a 6 meter antenn=
a. am i missing something? was it on the portable tower which is sittin=

still working.

Hello,
This past Saturday, I lowered the portable tower to its horizontal positi=
on. Please be aware of your surroundings when you are out at the club, t=
he antenna elements are at eye level a could pose a hazard.
The plan is to remove the warped horizontal 144MHz support masts and repl=
ace them with some fiberglass tubes. These ultra-strong tubes have been =
graciously provided by Bob, W6RFH.=20 Thank you Bob.
Another modification is to install a video camera on the EME antenna mast=
support to provide a video source to help track the moon from the confin= es
of the SARC radio room. Hopefully, this eliminate the need to run outd= oors
to adjust the azimuth and elevation.=20
