Plans for erecting the HAM Tower have been put off indefinitely. We'd like to retain ownership of the tower in case the next place we move would have ideal ground for it. In Lieu of the ham tower, we will be investigating erecting a mast
- Desires of putting mesh networking equipment on the mast, both standard and Ham-Broadband, have been expressed.
An in-person interest meeting has been planned for Tuesday, March 10th in the AV Area and Library.
