I am fairly certain the remaining tasks are to terminate the ends on the antenna feed, mount the VHF antenna, test the rig. This should be easy to wrap up in one visit. Please contact KB8ELG if you have any questions or are available to help the hospital wrap up this project.

On March 20, 2019 at 8:00 P.M. the Fulton County Amateur Radio Club and the Emergency Services Net will be conducting a deployment exercise, in which we will attempt to cover the entire county. We are asking all hams to assist in this event if possible.
