Folks:
The Rabbit Radio Group under the direction of Emmett Dunlap, wa6cot, outdid themselves on Friday by mounting a cross arm to a 150 ft tower at Rasnow Peak which overlooks Thousand Oaks. The present antenna system is operational from the short tower at the bottom. Rabbit Radio has local 440 coverage of Santa Barbara County from Santa Ynez Peak and linked coverage over Southern California. All the personnel on top of the tower are Amateur Radio Operators. Jim Scott, kk6sxb, and I attended as line handlers but with 16 personnel on hand it was well covered.
For more information on Rabitt Radio and other linked remote base systems contact our own Matt Lechliter, w6kgb, grandnationalradio@gmail.com who helps maintain many of the SBARC systems.
