Black Ridge Tower Project & Matching Donations

Posted on August 11, 2017August 13, 2017

Our Black Ridge Repeater Tower is on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property west of the Colorado National Monument. It is the site of numerous communications towers and the WCARC leases a site for our repeater tower­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ on 146.94. Much needed repairs including a tower replacement are in the planning stage, awaiting final approval of BLM authorities. The WCARC has established a matching fund for donations to the tower project; the Club will donate from general funds to match those donated by individuals. A total of $2700 has been donated to date for this project.  

We anticipate an autumn 2017 date for construction. Volunteers are welcome for this project.

Contact John McElroy for making donations.

For additional information about the project or volunteering, contact Al Acker:

WCARC is a 501(3)c organization, donations may be tax deductible. Consult your tax adviser for details specific to your individual situation.

Thank you,  John McElroy
