The picture below represents the repeater antenna structure as it was initially installed on the Skyline water tank in 1978.
New coax and antennas were installed at the repeater site much more recently, possibly around 2008 or 2009.
More pictures can be seen here.
We had a great presentation by Leonard Leeper, KC0WOX. For those who have missed a great meeting or simply want to refer back to Leonard’s great presentation – here is is again.

Brian mentioned that, apart from his own kits, he also carries Alpha-Delta antennas and switches, Kent keys, Outbacker antennas, Heil mics and ARRL publications at 10% below list. His area sales tax is only 3.7% and you can drive up to Loveland and pick it up and save shipping.
Thanks to all who attended – it was fun!
LarcFest was a huge success – Thanks to all!
Doors open.
I have to get that bargain!

Wow – a CB!
That is a cool CB!
Chris, K8CRM, brought my attention to this antenna. It seems to be very compact and is getting rave reviews on e-ham. As with all compact antennas, it is probably somewhat of a compromise and I would have liked to see radiation patterns and F/B ratio to know if it is worthwhile to mount it on a rotor.
As we all know, if you want a no-compromise HF antenna and have a checkbook and real estate to match, get a SteppIr.
Robert Streenburn (KA8JBY) did the October presentation at the club. He wanted to share this solar hurricane with us.

Ward (K6CCH) was traveling through the area on highway 36 toward Estes Park (St. Vrain at mm15) when he came across a Mini Van that was down a 30ft embankment. One victim was trapped underneath the vehicle, there was another one outside the vehicle and 3 walking wounded. He then called Ray (W9LQM) who was monitoring the Longmont Repeater (147.270) to ask for help to get police, fire and medical on scene. Agencies responded from Lyons, Pinewood Springs, Longmont Emergency Unit, Air-Life, 911 (out of Greeley), Boulder County Sheriff and the Colorado State Patrol. Ed (KB0TVH) listened to the HAM, VHF and 800 frequencies while teaching a student – James. James then said that he was monitoring the Longmont Repeater 147.270 TO see if he could help.
