We would like to install a 2M/400 antenna (and possibly others) on the roof of the Hungerford building, where Interlock is in the basement. We have the go-ahead from the building owners. We are in desperate need of contributions in order to make this project possible! If we are going to do it, we want to do it right. Ideally we will use LMR400 feed-line and build a free-standing tower that is capable of hosting multiple antennas for future expansion.


Ben & JustBill have each agreed to purchase 50ft of LMR400 feed line which can be used for this project. We still need about another 100ft total.

There is a J-Pole at the space (contributed by Alvero?) that we believe will work well (2m/440). Once we have the other 100ft of feed line all that will be left for the initial installation is building the tower. We could, potentially, modify a 2-post rack for this purpose.
