VOTE FOR ANTENNA PURCHASE
The Business committee has decided on Spectral Isopole 70cm
IsoPole Uhf 435 $ 209.95 plus $39.99 Shipping list price (30 day TA) http://www.isopole.com/english/prices-en/prices-en.htm
Antenna has good Eham reviews of 4.5+ We have a member who has had one for 15+ years installed
Has experienced NO problem with construction or weather
This antenna should last on tower for 3+ years without adjustment There is a hard set date to check when tower at site replaced in 2 years
We need a vote to purchase this antenna plus parts Mounting hardware around $100.00 (cable run clamps, unistrut standoffs)
Estimated total to be $350.00 to $400.00 total
Need a vote for $400.00 CAP
ISOPOLE 440
70 CM ANTENNA PURCHASE VOTE
Again, We need a vote to purchase this antenna plus parts
Mounting hardware around $100.00 (cable run clamps, unistrut standoffs)
Estimated total to be $350.00 to $400.00 total

Discussion
This is an antenna that fits our budget
We will take donations for this one or (est $800-1000.00 more for a commercial model)
This antenna will get us going until some day another shows up 2 years from now when the tower is replaced
