On Saturday, a small group of us installed our first new antenna since relocating to Ronler Acres Fire Station. We attached a Comet GP-98 to the strut on the side of the building. K7JDF was staged on top of the roof and K7TAY was on the ladder, while KK7DS watched from down below.

The new antenna stands about 25 feet above ground and is currently being used for voice, though it gives us the flexibility of using it for high-speed D-STAR data as well. We have plans to install several more antennas in the future.

More antenna installation pictures are in the Photo Gallery.
