Work Parties at VE7RLO Mt. Lolo July, August and September 2023

Myles VE7FSR and Lee VE7FET installed two new Rocket M5 microwave radios for the microwave link from Lolo to Greenstone Mountain, and Myles replaced two old Ubiquiti microwave radios on Greenstone with two new Mikrotik micowave radios.  The new radios should help improve the bandwidth and stability of our broadband backbone.

Ralph VA7VZA helped remove the old exhaust fan at Mt, Lolo and replace it with a small air conditioner, and Lee VE7FET removed the old Glenayre PA unit in the repeater and replaced it with a Motorola Quantar.  Lee VE7FET, also did some testing and monitoring with his SDR to see if he could find the source of the RFI that was causing interference to the VHF remote receiver on Mt, Lolo.  Lee also installed a temperature control to make sure the "new" air conditioner doesn't run when it is too cold.
