[HoustonHam] [Microwave] Parting out 6 GHz gear

[Chris Boone]

KBMT link?? Towers?? 
Only link I know of is the one hop STL path from the studios in Beaumont to
the transmitter for KBMT and KITU-LP....(I am the SBE Freq Coordinator for
the area and know all the engineers at KBMT; Russ Ingram, KJ5CX is a friend
and is transmitter engineer for KBMT and gave me the SAGE EAS box that is on
my 444.5 rptr). KBMT never owned any paths or dropped any towers.

As to the 6m gear, what do you have??
