... 70cm ... firestations ... EOC stations ... You should be demanding nothing LESS than a commercial ComTelCo Yagi ... http://www.comtelcoantennas.com/yagi_uhf.htm Anything less and you are being irresponsible with the public you are protecting. I mean, does your local police department and city works comms centers have home-made Yagis on their installations? Of course not. Why should your department think amateur radio installations deserve anything less? Clint Bradford, K6LCS 909-241-7666 ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Only because they have nobody on their staff who knows what an antenna is. They don't pay high bucks for the fun of it.

...but I bet they know what liability and lost of life mean. However, not to undermind the quality and performance of ham homebrew equipment. Some can even be better than commercial! just my 2 cents ;) 73, Peter VE7NGP -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 12:47 PM To: Clint Bradford Cc: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: 70cm yagi Only because they have nobody on their staff who knows what an antenna is.

... homebrew equipment. Some can even be better than commercial! I would not live in a community where my public service departments were depending upon homebrew comms equipment for critical emergency communications. This is not demeaning to the amateur radio community at all. Amateur radio should DEMAND such respect and recognition in the emergency plans of their communities.

... We do have a communication link however there have been occasional fades ... Then get your radio vendor out there and see why this happens. Most vendors will send a tech out to their commercial clients at little or no charge - to maintain your business relationship. I performed plenty of site surveys and diagnostics for my clients while working for a Motorola dealer. It may be as simple as one feedline deteriorating ... or moisture in just one connector - that is causing your occasional drops!

Do you also demand commercial quality radios? Here, it's standard amateur transceivers, antennas and power supplies. On 06-May-10 20:12, Clint Bradford wrote: ... homebrew equipment.

It is against FCC regulations in the United States to use amateur gear on frequencies allocated for public service. ... Do you also demand commercial quality radios? For public safety? Absolutely.

True but we're talking the US equivalent of RAYNET providing emergency backup communications.
