The Technical Committee climbed the 110 feet to the 440 repeater site on Sunday, July 21, 2019 to continue repairs on the 440 antenna system.  However, no good deed goes unpunished.  K8OE, WA8AEN and KD8DIB discovered several problems with the feed line and the antenna.  Water intrusion is suspected due to a damaged cap on the top of the antenna.  The committee will continue to evaluate the components.  The temporary antenna was relocated to a higher location and an additional antenna was placed on the site for future projects.  Stay tuned for more updates.
