Amateur Radio Station K4JTN

The trailer is coming along real well the things left to be done is to finish the desktop shelf and mount some type of pipe rack to haul long pieces of mast this will either be mounted on the side of the trailer on top and an option of mounting the pipe under the trailer is being looked into. The radio's that need fixed mounting will be installed the floor on the inside painted along with the whole outside of the trailer . The roof will be painted with a alum fibered roof paint to seal any leaks remaining and to make the trailer cooler during the summer paint color for the rest of the trailer will be chosen for better heat reflective properties also.

The desktop has been installed and one net has been run from inside of the trailer so far!!. All the radios will be installed into enclosed wood cabinets which can be easliy removed when the trailer is not in use . In the picture you see the Radio Shack 10 meter mobile which will be installed more fixed when the top shelving is complete also pictured is a old Kenwood 2 meter mobile radio the trailer is getting real close to being completed!!

Using sheet metal covered up the outside rust through places and will paint with primer the metal sections added you see in the bottom picture of rear of trailer also caulked around the old tailights where water was getting in so that is now sealed to the elements

Thanks also goes to the county of Lancaster emergency services for providing the 24/7 internet access to the site which is provided by Northern Neck Wireless .

This is the old building in Kilmarnock that the WE4NC station has been using for more then 5 years as you can see its a total mess and the roof is getting ready to cave in it needed to be gotten rid of long time ago !! Im so glad to be out of this thing I don't know what to do the last time I was in it the insulation fell down on me with all the dead bugs glad to be moving to the new taller and more spacious building with so much more room!

Ingrim Bay Ops cancelled due to not having the trailer like I want it sorry but maybe I'll have this thing done by October will post some newer pictures soon
