[CRAPRS] Digi on a tower

[Ron Tonneson]

I would recommend commercial antennas.  I am using a Decibel Products DB264 on K0HAM-10 and a Decibel Products DB222 on 
K0HAM-9.  If you get the A version (150-160MHz) they work just fine on two meters as they are fairly broad banded.  I 
would have preferred a 4 dipole antenna on K0HAM-9 but the two dipole one was donated so I used it.  Tower side mount 
kits are available for them.

I think you said something about putting up an Igate.  If you want to put it at the tower site you may want to look into 
using a Linksys WRT54G router.  There has been discussion on the TAPR APRSSIG about how to use this device as an 
un-attended Igate.

Most commercial tower operators are more comfortable with us using commercial radios at their sites.  I use the GE 
Phoenix on all my sites except for W0CXX-5.
