1st week of August, 1998
The new building was finally on site, however it still required a ventilation fan, exhaust air damper, heating, lighting, AC outlets, wiring and power. The electrical panel, intake fan, exhaust air louvers, damper motor, and cooling thermostat were salvaged from the old building. Keith, VE6KOD and myself (Barry,
VE6SBS) installed a ground system. Brian, VE6BCA, procured a new electric heater, interior fluorescent fixture and outside light and Lorne, VE6AWI, installed the electrical wiring. The above and a few others quickly made the new building ready for the repeater equipment.
