Post through me for a loop. I thought... wait a minute, there's no repeater up there. Then I recognized the case. Good job you guys :2thumbsup:

 But who's the old guy in the hat looking like he's ready to pass out ::) Did you bring him oxygen tanks?

 Does Gus know you stole the cookie sheets for the mag mount antennas from the pantry?

Toolman, John bought the pans new. When I first saw them I thought "oh cool new piz oh wait it's for the repeater"!

I bet Darryl and Kathy still had cookies up there with the cookie sheets ;D

I watched ET this weekend with my granddaughter.  Seeing the equipment up there made me think of ET trying to communicate so he could go "home"

The Special Net was dubbed:
"The Thin Crust Net" due to the 16" round pizza pans that were used as antenna bases.

Here's the Thin Crust Portable Emergency 2 meter repeater that Darrell and crew took to the top of Mount Baden Powell for Sunday's testing.
