Emmett N8EB worked to complete the installation of the two antenna
towers at Rosien Towers. The North tower stands at 40 feet above
the main roof line, 22 feet above the elevator roof while the West tower
stands at 30 feet above the main roof line and 12 feet above elevator

antennas can be moved or reinstalled.
Antennas will include a 2 meter repeater, 220 MHz repeater, 440 MHz
receive, 2 meter APRS, 2 meter ATV control, 1.2 GHz vertical ATV TX, 440
