Yesterday I had some work done on the facia of the shack that allowed me to relocate all of the antennas on the packet station here in Damascus.
Work included removing the exterior trim on the facia of the building and sistering some pressure treated lumber onto the existing structure before reattaching the trim. The goal was to create more structure for antenna mounts.
Here's a picture of the completed work.
The station is using three Channel Master adjustable masts that support one Comet GP-3 and two Comet GP-1s.
These three antennas support the existing radios used for WinLink, APRS, and Packet operations. Currently Packet WinLink is available on 145.030 and VaraFM WinLink is available on 145.530. APRS beaconing is also live and soon I will be upgrading the station to support a local PBBS and APRS digipeater.
More work to come but wanted to let you guys know about the changes and upgrades.

Looks great - very professionally done - and the antennas should perform great now. Love it.
