Last Friday (March 8), Bob (VE7XNC), Jim (VA7JIR), Patrick (VE7HZF) and Sieg (VA7LEH) travelled to Surrey to visit our PREOC. Their installation was very impressive:

• The main tower has most of the VHF/UHF antennas as well as an HF wire antenna : what is it again?
• The telephone pole has yagi antennas for 20m and 40m as well as a dipole (at 90° angle) for 80m.
• The truck is the only one of its kind in Canada.

• The radios (in the middle) all connect to duplexers (on the left) to share the limited number of antennas on the towers.
• From there, they can be patched to any ethernet jack in any of the buildings so that anyone anywhere can quickly be setup with a radio station.
