[HCRA] ATV status

[Larry Steiner]

The repeater is up at the site in Monson.  All that remains is running =
the hard line.  Unfortunately, Kurt Jackson mashed his foot bad enough =
to require surgery.  I've been told that Guinness helps you heal faster. =
 Looking forward to helping you with the recovery process!=20

So while Kurt mends, I thought I would look for folks interested in =
setting up a station.  So far Eric Richardson, KB1JVI has expressed =
interest.  Eric has a good line on the tower.  I have three, 5 element =
commercial quality beam antennas and one 15 element that folks can use =
as well as an ATV receiver and transmitter.  I say use, as it is uncouth =
to take one for ATV only to sell it.  They are hard to come by and =
that's not in the spirit that they are given.

Also, I have a 40 foot telescoping tower that the Scouts or anyone else =
can use if they need something semi portable.  You will need a pickup or =
van as it goes down to about 10ft.  It weighs about 35 lbs.  Also, it =
need guys of some kind for temporary setup.  Tent stakes and nylon?  =
Great for mountain topping.  Bring your own antenna and rig.  A few more =
things...  a 10 meter all mode radio that runs off 12 volts (Scouts?!?)  =
you could have some fun with this on your next trip.  MFJ HF tuner for =
balanced or unbalanced line.

Have fun.
