LA Storehouse Repeater Site





Here are a few pictures of what we did at the LA storehouse.

What we accomplished; the antenna is up, no link antenna yet, but with hardline, the cabinet, an outside box with vents, this is a commercial light signal box, power connected to the box, one shelf inside the cabinet with Astron 20 amp power supply, with switch to backup power.

In attendance Joe Waite, Bob Moore, Jim Glancey and me.

The View from High on top of Eagle Tower.



Happy Labor Day everyone. My son Alex KI6LXD and I installed the link antenna for Snow Peak this morning. This is one more step closer to getting SCIRA's system linked.

Next we need donations to help us get band pass filters ($350) and an amplifier for the Snow Peak Repeater site ($600).

Spread the word. We're moving forward as fast as the donations allow. We appreciate everyone's help!

Eagle Tower Is Up!

Thanks to everyone for your support and sacrifice to get this project completed. Eagle Tower Repeater is now operational high on top of Eagle Tower.

We've still got a lot of behind the scenes work to do on the repeater. The coax needs to be cut to a shorter length, battery backup needs to be installed, Pre-amp and our link antenna for Snow Peak isn't up yet but will be as soon as we can. It's amazing how many HOURS it takes to get projects like this done. Please feel free to use Eagle Tower Repeater anytime you like. The system will continue to improve in the coming days and weeks.
