Today, Jason, I and my grandson drove out to the repeater site. It needed a little reprogramming on the controller, so since I actually got a day off that coincided with Jason, I thought I would take the opportunity to go and check it out.
As most things go… until you actually “see” something… there are some misconceptions that form in your mind, when things are just described to you. Whether reading or just listening to a description, the reality is always a little different.
This was the case for me. I always imagined that the “shack” that housed the repeater and other equipment was much smaller than it actually is. It is actually much more organized than I thought it would be, as well.
I know that there was probably nothing “super special” about the whole thing, but because it was my first visit, there, it’s something that will always stick in my mind, now.
One thing that I was really impressed by was the view from the repeater site. We were only on the ground, and I can’t imagine how much further the view was from the top of the tower. The view (even though it was a lot of flat land) was really impressive. I snapped a few pictures, while we were there.
Just a few…
