to improve areas that currently have difficulty with radio communications. A voting site extends radio coverage by
placing antennas at remote locations to listen for radio signals that normally
would be too far away from the repeater to be received. We will require 7 spaces total, 1
omni-directional receiving antenna and 6 directional antennas to link to the
various repeaters.

tower and the associated costs. They

spent for them.
