The 462.625 MHz repeater successfully received an upgrade yesterday in the form of a Decibel Products DB-420 antenna, even with the winds, low temperatures and snow flurries falling on us. This was a big undertaking for the team that included Doug, Brad P, and Jay. A special thanks also go to Doug Everhart, N4TZD of Southmount, NC for providing the antenna and the rack that all of the hardware rests in. Testing will continue over the next few days, but improvements in coverage have been noted across the service area.
Please see the 462.625 photo album for more pictures of the installation!
