Ed - WA4ISB - Way to happy to be working...

This was taken the day we turned up the D-Star repeater. He was pleased when someone 35 miles away with 5 watts got into it. It's that, or he's just very-very happy to be in such a high RF level area.

Now if you -REALLY- can't stand heights, this shot from the top of the candelabra really will make you nervous.

Ed's sweeping a duplexer. After a day of doing this, you start having to double check your settings before you commit to a change.

The West Central Florida Group has a booth at the 2008 Tampa Bay Hamfest. We gave out fliers about the repeater, and had a 10 minute power point running for those to watch. Our board of directors filtered thru the booth to answer questions all day.

Looking down at 805ft!

If you can't stand heights, Riverview is not the place to be. This is a view straight down under the grate that is the platform.
