Antenna Maintenance at KPH/KSM

A large staff of professional riggers once performed antenna maintenance duties at KPH. Now the MRHS volunteers have this duty. See Service Car 50 in action in the antenna fields.

This is great! Nice job. I never knew that an antenna system would be so large to require a service car for antenna maintenance. Randy

What we have today is only a small fraction of what was once at the site. It was like a thickly wooded forest of antennas, including as it did antennas for both the point-to-point and marine services. - RD

This reminds me of the Fort Sam Houston Texas MARS station.

This is an extremely well made video. The cinematography is superb. The timing in the editing is nigh on perfect. The narration is informative and professional. The script is well planned and well written. The intro with the logo and Morse code is an excellent touch.

"Remains of a long lost radioman." LOL!

Please keep them coming. Very interesting.

Thanks very much, OM. Maybe we have found a niche audience! When we find old photos (like the one for K6KPH on QRZ) or antenna field drawings we pore over them like thye're the Dead Sea scrolls. - RD
