Re: [Repeater-Builder] Choosing a Site

[Mark A. Holman]

I have a freind who has their  UHF Com 2 way, a Linked and a club 
repeater and a B-cast Station, only the club R has BCI leaking on XMIT 
and they are short of money to have it fixed I guess.

I did some tech advice for him on a storm that turned the tower into a 
pretzel  we been freinds for years he's a pertty easy going freind for 
so many years.

Unfortunately not everyone is freindly towards us!

Joe, all I can say is Good Luck.  Commercial sites are getting difficult to get, they don't want to allow amatuer on the towers.  I talked with three companies, and got the same response.  They require at least a 5 million dollar insurance policy, and then want at least between $400.00 to $600.00 rent per month.  To them, space is money, and freebies don't bring money.  The good ole days of helping the non-profit outfits have long went away.  A good example is a 300' tower that resides here in my county, owned by a ham operator, declined the use of their tower, as he simply put it, LIABILITY, and no waivers would surfice for the company.  GOOD LUCK!

[Repeater-Builder] Choosing a Site

[Joe]

Greetings, all.

I'm putting up a 900 MHz repeater.  Had a site lined up, but things 
have "gone South."

So, starting from scratch: How do you choose a site?  How do you locate 
a commercial or government tower's owners and pitch your proposal?

Appreciate any advice.
