[OKDXA] FREE Tower space, shack, electricity to hams

[K5KC]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you an update on the 250 ft tower, shack, free
electricity, etc., north of Stillwater.

About 5 of our OKDXA hams expressed interest in active involvement.  I wrote
a few e-mails to the owner (a MN ham) who had been very responsive.
Unfortunately, I never had a reply to the e-mails.  So, I called him.  He
still sounded positive, and said he thought his partner (I guess the tower
is co-owned or they are both in the same company) was supposed to reply to
me.  He promised to have the partner follow up.  I never heard a word.

As a result, I am going to back away from the opportunity.  If somebody
wishes to pursue this further, please get in touch and I can give you the
contact information.  It is probably still a neat opportunity, but my plate
is full for a while.

A fellow ham from MN called last night and offered FREE the following things
to a group of hams who might want to take advantage of them:

 

1. The top 25 feet of a 250 foot tower (self supporting and beefy enough to
put ANY antennas we want up there).

2. 200 sq ft of a 3000 sq ft building with 24 inch walls (hurricane proof).

3. Free electrical from 800 amp 3 phase service.

 

This might be of interest to a group of contesters who would want to use the
location as their ready-made contesting HQs (28 miles north of Stillwater).
Or, to DXers who are forced into remote operation by covenants.  I suspect
some pretty decent antennas could be scrounged.

 

This gentleman sounds totally solid.  He buys towers and sells the space for
various purposes.  He always tries to allot some of the prime space to
fellow hams.

 

Anybody interested?  Any group of a few contesters interested?
