[W2CRA] CRA: Grant Wish List to Date

[William Powell]

Fellow Members,

ARRDC grant wish list - so far . . .  We're still working on it so it's not set in concrete.
    • New 220 repeater and duplexer at Cherryville.
	We used to have a 224.600 repeater in Cherryville but it was using 
	Hamtronics kits with a borrowed duplexer on a RACES antenna.
    • Replace 220 repeater at Mt. Kipp
	Current repeater is a  35+ year old ICOM and is no longer supported 
	and, for the most part, un repairable.
    • Replace 440 repeater at Mt. Kipp
	Current repeater is a modified GE Mastr II mobile radio.
    • Add UHF transmit combiner  at Cherryville
	To allow addition of a 2nd UHF repeater while improving the 444.85 
	system coverage.
    • Purchase quality test equipment
	Communications service monitor, digital scope, bench DVM, handheld DVM
    • Battery backup systems where needed
	Linvale, Bloomsbury, Cherryville
    • Optional tower climber services
	If County unable to provide
    • Fully Equipped 12' Communications Trailer
	Da Works!
    • Replace Storage Trailer and dispose old
	30' one-use container on 6x6 over gravel, solar lighting and fan
	dispose of the 55' trailer

Things we can't do:
    • Any type of motor vehicle - bus, van
    • Club house or anything involving real estate

What are YOUR thoughts?
If you don't let Jane and I know we can't work on it.

Bill - WB1GOT
