Hi folks:
I am glad to announce that the Montecito Remote Base project is coming along quite nicely. Please visit the project web site to see great new photos of the equipment installed in the cabinet:

We hope to have the system up for initial testing of the repeater in a week or two.
For those who have not heard about the project, Ken, N6KTH, Matt, W6KGB, Calli, KD6OVS and Dave, K9KBX are the principle drivers behind an exciting initiative to install a remote base on Mountain Drive above Montecito. As it is currently envisioned, we will have a multi-band, multi-mode remote attached to a 440 repeater. This will be and OPEN SYSTEM for everyone to use.
Matt just finished installing the equipment in the cabinet, and now Calli is beginning the process of making the electrical connections and integrating the equipment. Dave recently finished construction of a wooded enclosure at the site, and everyone had a hand in the laying of conduit and installing a temporary antenna. The system was recently featured in KeyKlix.
The web site chronicles all of this, and includes detailed photos of the equipment, and maps showing the potential coverage of the system.
