Missionary station in Honduras needs help (sponsored by Mississipians)

J

jboydingram

I hpe this post passes muster with the moderators:
There is a new Missionary (religious) station that has been approved for a poor section of Honduras (SA). This at the location where many medical doctors, dentists, nurses, etc. go to provide medical assistance to the poor.
This low power (100 watts) station will alert the locals when the various doctors will be coming to the Mission to render aid. Most of the potential is within 10 miles
of the site, as the people will have to walk or ride a mule thru the mountains...BUT,,,every village has at least one radio, so this should prove valuable. All the people involved are volunteers at their own expense( including me)
The Station will be known as Radio Celestial.
Here are our immediate needs:
Rohn 25 tower 150 feet
Frequency Agile exciter 20 watts or more More later. Email if you can help. Tnx
 
JBI:

Have you thought about posting this to some ham radio forums? Rohn 25 is pretty plentiful out there. In fact, I know several folks who have some surplus sticks.

The larger issue is shipping the stuff to HR.

DE: I got some on a ham site reasonable price. Shipping is not a problem...can ship on banana boat on a space available basis!
Thanks JBI
 
Many offers on antennas, but need a low power with not much tower loading...I.E. a 4 bay circular for a class "a" station....Thanks everyone...we are making progress...JBI
 
I assume you are asking about the 4 bay antenna....A good Class A 4 bay antenna is in the 4K to 5K range...some lots more ...some lots less. Like cars.
But when you are walking, any ride is welcome. Thanks JBI
