The coax from the surge protection devices outside the building
has been redirected
to the antenna switch panel at the new shack location.
Thanks to John KI4UIP and Dave KR4U for the installation and to Tom NY4I for fabricating the coax cable assemblies.
We’re still looking for a location for our monthly meetings. Email suggestions to president@sparc-club.org.
