The club strives to constantly improve our antenna system and lots of room exists for club members to implement their own antenna designs on our tower and rooftop вЂњantenna farmвЂќ.ДЄ dedicated satellite antenna tower supports circularly polarized Yagis for 144 MHz and 430 MHz mounted on an elevation-azimuth positioner. The program allows worldwide connections to be made between stations, or from computer to station, greatly enhancing Amateur RadioвЂ™s communications capabilities.

It often takes a bit of tweaking to get the audio levels just right. EchoLink В® software allows licensed Amateur Radio stations to communicate with one another over the Internet, using streaming-audio technology. The third station will hear both direct connections (you) and the Echolink connection and can judge how good the audio quality is. Wire dipole antennas cover 3.5 MHz to 7 MHz, long-boom Yagis for 144 MHz and 430 MHz top the main W8UM tower, while a Discone at 90 ft covers 30 MHz to 1.2 GHz. One station uses your HF Echolink node to connect to and have a QSO with a third station. The shortwave bands from 7 MHz to 30 MHz, as well as the 50 MHz band are covered by our 4-element tuneable Yagi-Uda at 105 ft above ground level.
