[ARES] hardline needed

[Sam Smith]

Robert,
I can't help with the hardline, but I *might* be able to get
you on the new cell tower in Turin (about 4 air miles from
the PTC NWS) if your first plan falls through.

Good Afternoon Folks,
I am in the process of putting pieces together to "move" the
main remote 
base repeater for the NWS in Peachtree City.  (W4PSZ 444.600
in 
Fayetteville)  The tower on which it is on will be taken
down to make 
the property more "sell able" for the owner. 

We are in talks with the state at this time to get on
another tower in 
the area, however we have to have equipment ready to go up
on it.  The 
main thing we are missing is hardline.  We are going to need
somewhere 
around 300 to 350' of line, preferably 7/8" but would use
1/2" if we 
have too.  We are also going to need some hardline for the
remote base 
antenna and that probably needs to be in the 200' range.  We
do have 
access to some CATV line if need be as well for the remote
if need be, 
but would prefer the 50 ohm hardline.

The Fayette Co. Repeater Club is also going to need some
hardline as 
well for their repeater which will go on the same tower.

Because we (*I*) am funding this myself...any donation of
hardline would 
be wonderful!  If at a "cheap" price would possibly work as
well.  $ is 
a issue since we are going to probably have to "hire"
professionally 
"bonded" climbers to do the work....that will cost and
possibly take all 
the cash set aside for this.

I am going to Laweranceville and could do some pickup from
there if need be.

Thanks,
Robert Burton
DEC NWS in PTC
