[MohawkARC] Baldwinville Station

[bill leger via MohawkARC]

 Hi Everyone

On Sunday we will be going to the Baldwinville station site at 10AM,

We will be evaluating the site, tower and antennas as well as coax and rotor control cables. With this info we can determine if this is a viable project. I personally don't see it as a large undertaking both from a labor and financial standpoint. As I see it right now the following work will have to be competed.

1: Check out the tower motor to be sure it is working
2: Lubricate anything we can reach without climbing the tower
3: Tilt over the tower and finish inspecting it.
4: Inspect and repair the 3 antennas
5: Upright the tower and check the SWR of the antennas and rotor 
6: Carefully raise the tower and check the SWR again
7: Remove the coaxes and rotor control from the home and run them to the trailer
8: Install a ground rod near the trailer 
9: Do some weed whacking and cleaning up around the tower ( anyone have a weed whacker ??)

Anyone who wants to join us at 10AM the address is
68 Norcross Hill Rd
