After multiple trips up and down...I stopped using ham antennas for repeaters. DB224 only.

[@benosborne6062]

I was able to pick up the repeater for the first time since I started listening. Clear as a bell.

[@RonSimpson-v1m]

Considering all things, job well done... haters get a life. Thank you guys for taking care of business

[@Majorme2]

Great guys

[@lawdog516]

Wow there is no amount of money in the WORLD that would get me to climb that tower, God bless you Josh !!!! 73’s

[@donaldmunsey7835]

Great getting that bad antenna replaced.

[@albing1397]

Josh is a huge asset for the club!

[@All_Things_Radio]

Is there a mountain between Monticello and Livingston tn?

[@KE8TIQ]

he's not using his safety gear properly.

[@VTX-Live]

no one cares bozo

[@charlierumsfeld6626]

banging the antenna against the tower can't be good

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

Ideally, no. Given Josh climbed the tower 3 times, we cut him a lot of slack. Thanks for watching!

[@The_Electronic_Beard]

Shouldn't give him any slack for free climbing.

[@RandyDRoberts1]

🎉

[@Majorme2]

Glad you eat your wheates

[@radiotech1602]

Do yourself a favor and put up a real antenna and not that junk you are using. 🙄. I see more “antenna troubles at the repeater site” videos coming up soon. Hams never learn. Always go cheap and pray it works.
