2024 10 13 RNH Roof Repairs
RNH Roof Report: October 15, 2024
Last Sunday Phil Baker/VE7BPH, Dave Hadley/VA7HDY, Tony Rizzi and Peter Rizzi/jVE7RZZ met at Peter’s QTH to make the trek up to RNH to reinforce a sagging roof. Murphy eased his nose into the plans which required a modification to the telepoles before we could leave. Steel plates had to be cut and welded onto the teleposts so that a piece of plywood could be attached to the top of the post and at the bottom so it could be secured to a 6″x6″ post that sat on the floor. Check the pictures. Once that was done we were able to get underway for what was a two hour drive up to Granite Peak with two pickup trucks loaded with teleposts, 6×6 timbers, two 45-gallon drums of emulsion, to seal the roof surface, and all the tools needed to get the job done. The road up to Granite Peak has not been maintained for some time so was rough to very rough once we left the pavement. Twenty KPH was moving quickly.

Kenwood TM -D700 noisy fan
Was dealing with an older Kenwood TM D700 VHF/UHF mobile. Fan was really noisy to the point of being unusable in the home qth. I googled the problem and found that if you remove the fan from the casing, peel off the fan identity sticker and add a few drops of light oil the noise stops… fyi to all and 73 for now.
