[K3CAL] Hospital Installation

[Shawn Donley]

All,

As you probably know by now, CalvertHealth Medical Center (the hospital) has approved our proposal to install an antenna on the hospital roof and equipment in the adjacent climate controlled equipment room.   Both the roof and the equipment room can be reached by elevator and one flight of stairs ... no expensive tower climbers needed.  We will be moving the 2M repeater to the hospital as an experiment once the antenna and coax is installed. 

We already have a Diamond X300NA antenna suitable for this effort.  With the help of others I put together the attached spreadsheet to list what else we need for a quality install at the hospital.

This isn't a request for money but rather an opportunity to see if CARA members might have some of the needed hardware which could be donated for the cause, or know of other sources for the listed items but at a better price.

The 440MHz Yagi is for a link to Mt Hope.

I also attached a summary of the coverage tests we conducted at the hospital in October, which was very positive for 2M (and less so for 70cm)

Let me know if you have any questions.
