President’s Report: Ralph W1DAR
Tower – one of the roller bolts was causing the tower to hang up. Using smaller bolts solved the problem. SteppIR is showing high SWR on all bands other than 6 meters. We don’t know what is going on inside of it yet with the tapes.
New router has been installed. It can support 64 users so we can let members use it. We can connect it to the switch for N1MM subnet.
Need to replace the conduit on the outside of the building to fix the outside power. Estimate $150 for schedule 80 conduit and outdoor boxes.
