Billerica Repeater Take-Down, April 4, 2025

Bob DeMattia, K1IW, writes:

We will be removing the Billerica repeater from its current site on April 4th.  It will be off the air for 2 – 3 weeks while the antennas are relocated to the new site.  Some work will also be done to the equipment itself during the downtime.   The Burlington repeater on 145.43 should provide adequate coverage in the Billerica area during this period.

We are in need of some people to help with the removal on the 4th.  The tower is hinged, so it will be lowered and everything removed.  We also need to bring the antennas, equipment, and some empty racks that are in the repeater room down to the loading area to be put on vehicles.

We currently have four volunteers but could use four more.  We will meet at 300 Concord Rd, Billerica at 9AM on the 4th. I would estimate it will take about four hours to complete the work.

Please reply if you are interested in helping.
