This station shares space with many others on a fine site in northeast San Antonio. In addition to providing a UHF blanket for the city and Bexar County, the site links south to Choate and thence to Odem. To the north we maintain links from Blanco to Austin and northwest to Kerrville. Via the San Antonio West site we ultimately reach California.
Freestanding towers are tough to climb. Special hardware is needed for antenna mounts.
This is our main switching center. The Palomar controller also supports two frequency agile remote base transceivers on 2 meters and 1.25 meters.
The station is housed in several cabinets. From the left, links to Choate and San Antonio West, link to Blanco with 2 meter, 1.25 meter remote bases. Next is our single point grounding system and "Dinkerator" surge protector, and lastly the Palomar controller, MASTR-II standby repeater and Motorola MSF-5000 repeater
