What Lies Beyond Jeep Club will be sending a check to help on the Repeater project. Would we send it to GLFWDA with a notation for the DI Repeater?

Thanks guys!!!!!

Yes, probably best to send to GLFWDA.

Glad to see it is underway.

What is the #6 wire to be used for? Internal bonding, external grounds, groundplane radials? What type of wire is needed? Insulated or bare? Used OK? Spliced OK? How much and what lengths?

I think stranded bare wire is what we want, it is to be used for ground radials, from the sounds of it, getting a good ground with just rods is impossible. Used is OK, I'm not sure about spliced, I would need someone with more expertise to answer that one.

Yes #10 or larger bare stranded wire in 50 foot lengths or longer to make ground radials and we need about 1000 feet or more and we also need 100 feet of # 6 wire to bond to a nearby well.
