Sorry for the tardiness of this message….. this was sent around July 21 and I
released it but apparently it didn’t go so here it is again.
john, is there a 6 meter antenna hooked to the ft-736? i was at the st=
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=
g by the front door? so i went to 2 meters and verified the station was=
still working.
regards, george bernard w6nre

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
