Farmington Repeater Antenna Update - Nov 13, 2025

The current commerical antenna (at 80 feet) has been having issues, so all summer we have been running on a a Comet GP9-NC  antenna at only about 50 feet, and sort of stuck in some trees.  This lower height and leaves has had the system under performing.

We recently bought another commercial GMRS, rented a lift, and installed it at the 80 foot level. While the SWR was good, line loss and other testing was not optimal. We therefore went back to the lower antenna, which is what the repeater is operating on today. 

We have now purchased three new antenna's that are all being tuned, and will be ready to put up over this weekend after we rent a lift again. Hopefully between these antenna's, we finally get back the optimal performance, making the repeater a powerhouse system for GMRS in the south metro area.
