Relocation Phase Two Underway

Big thanks to everyone who pitched in on Saturday to help with the move from our expensive storage locker to our brand new container.

This portion of our relocation project is more than halfway complete. We still have three more shelf units to move and more storage items to relocate, and we will be able to vacate our storage locker for good, saving us about $6000 a year, and possibly more as the rent surely would have been bumped up another hundred dollars a month later this year.

Here’s where we stand as of today:

  • The main repeater has been relocated to TV Hill.
  • All operating equipment at La Vigia Hill has been moved or decommissioned.
  • The 446.400 repeater was temporarily reinstalled to cover some areas of the Mesa.
  • Shelves were installed and equipment moved to long term storage in Santa Ynez.
  • Half the shelves and about half of the remaining storage items moved to the new container at the Red Cross.

We will be moving the rest of the storage items next weekend and will put out a worker help request later in the week.

If you haven’t yet signed up to the project mailing list, you can do so by sending a blank email to workers+subscribe@sbarc.org. We are mailing list members about dates, times and location when we anticipate needing help, and if you can help, that’s great.
