A new Mosley Pro-57-B-40 antenna covering 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m and 40m has been donated to the club station. Over the next couple weekends the existing antenna will need to be moved and the new antenna assembled and put on the tower. Beams for 2m, 70cm and 1.2GHz are also available to put above the HF beam.

Saturday 06/08/24 9:00am – Final assembly and testing of the new antenna. 2-3 people needed.
Sunday 06/09/24 1:00pm – Mount antennas on the tower. 5-8 people needed.
