Our latest project is a new VHF Repeater in the works to cover
North Santa Barbara County. The repeater will be RF linked with
145.16 at Santa Ynez Peak. Meanwhile our team ramped up quickly
to pull together the major equipment assets. One major item is
the equipment enclosure as it is anticipated the repeater shall
be mounted outside. This is similar to our installation at La
Cumbre Peak which is now 30 years old. The best choice for an
outdoor enclosure is a traffic signal box if you can find one.
Fortunately Paul Strauss, wd6eby, had one and we moved quickly
to bring it up from Camarillo. The aluminum box will be gutted
and rebuilt as new.
Seen here is Michael Williams, wb0jfb, sanding and finishing the
exterior.
