Hold on a second there, Ken, 1215, I'm Jack, KI7RMU. This is the Wednesday afternoon new net here on the PSRG two meter machine here in Seattle, Washington. Ken, when you go up to the repeater site with your pal there, so you'll have, I imagine, a couple of bags, a couple of boxes of tools, some electricity to function with, and basic meters, and maybe some supplies, some lunch, of course, water, of course, all that emergency stuff, but what else will you take out there? What else do you need? Have you been to that site, and will there be snow? That's a lot of questions, isn't it? This is repeater station. Well, that's a good question. I have not been to this site. And from what I hear, it's a one-person shack, almost like an outhouse, with the repeater and equipment and a very poor antenna strapped to the side of a box. I'm not sure. And I don't know if a tree fell on it or not, but I'm taking a bunch of coax, some connectors, probably my 24-foot ladder, a new antenna. We'll see if we can get this antenna a little further up, see if there's any damage. I don't really know, but we'll have to see. I don't think there's any snow. We haven't got a lot of snow here. It's supposed to hit sometime Monday. We'll just have to see. I'll have to give you a report later and let you know what I find. back, WW7KN, back to the net.
