[SFDXA] Club Repeater

[Bill Marx]

To All Club Members and those using the SFDXA Club Repeater:

Pete N8PR determined earlier this week that the antenna is our culprit this time around. He tested the antenna bypassing the
repeater, duplexers and switches.

He is working on refurbishing a DB products 4-bay Vertical Dipole Antenna. It is a good and rugged one, made of 4 folded dipoles
that are grounded on one side, each, hopefully much more impervious to damage from lightning.

He ordered a new harness and when it arrives in a week or so and will coordinate the efforts to mount it on top of the tower this
time. Raising it some 30 feet higher than current.

Please be patient while the changes are made. Most of us can hear each other on simplex so if the repeater cannot hear you switch
over.
