At
our February meeting Jim N1WHF had an idea on where our
next Repeater site may be located in Dundee, on the property
shown above. The loopy curves you are seeing are actually
some one's personal Rail Road! After reviewing the ariel
photo we noticed a power sub-station (top right) adjacent
to the property. Arc-Bzzz. In the not too distant past
we have had line noise cause the Repeater receiver to
go quite deaf if you recall. Imagine what a sub-station
would do! Jim also thought he saw antennas on Bok and thought they may be sympathetic to our cause. The "antennas" turned out to be a massive ground rod system. |
