There’s already a Motorola rig up there. It had a KPC-3 attached. It was on 145.03, but I know someone who should be able to reprogram it for 144.39.  We just need to come up with an antenna, since the old one snapped.

Depending on what you want to do, you might not need internet at the site, since a receive only igate can be set up somewhere else in town to just capture everything that is digipeated. I have been playing with a raspberry pi igate but I'm in a bad location for reception.

>> I am in, I will bring my setup in, of which I have also offered to be in use at the site, if we can get internet up there even better.  I will also talk with Josh more about the Cellular option to get internet while we wait for a hardline option.  Is there DSL to the site? is that option even possible? if so we could get a $25 a month DRY LOOP DSL to bring the site into the 20th century :) .
