[K3PZN-List] 2010 FD PREP - launching wire

[John Hart]

Pete,
I think the light poles are about 30 feet high and the two that I have in mind are about 250 feet appart.  I understand that Jim, WX3B had used these poles in the past.  The Digital Station will be located between the two poles. 


Curt,

We defiantly have enough Ethernet cable as I picked up a 1000 ft reel of new 5E cable. at the Howard County Hamfest.  It just needs the modular plugs to be attached.  I have a crimping tool but I am not sure if I have many, if any, of the 8-pin plugs. 

 

John, K3KWO
