The Prosperity Game - Day 6

Such a beautiful weekend here, with a perfect summer-like day. And doesn't $6000 make it all the better?? It'd be a shame to hold onto the money when there's just more coming tomorrow, so why not spend a little (or a lot)??? :-)

So I've got this great D-Star repeater system, a full-stack, that I've been building. Well, I thought it would be nice to give it a decent, respectable home. So, how about one like this:



This tower is actually here in Columbus in the northeast part of town. I'd be getting a tower close to the house here, right near the intersection of I-270 and I-70 on the west side would be perfect! HT coverage in the house and a nice view down into the city from the top of the "bowl". The antennas will be around the 300 foot level, so I think that would give HT coverage over most of the city and mobile coverage for about a 30-mile radius around the site.

So, I'm not buying the tower with the $6000, but I am leasing space on the tower for a year! I think someone had told me that a monthly rate of $500 would get you a decent tower with a bunch of feedlines on it. Something I need to research more, but it's a good start. Maybe it'll last me more than a year, less than a year, we'll see, but no worries, there's more money on the way.
