- Formerly owned by Gene, W6YJO, now a silent key, it is now a part of the Rabbit Radio Network and serves a large part of Santa Barbara County. This radio is actually three completely independent radios in a single 7 foot cabinet.
- The primary radio is on 449.000 Mhz, with 2 full duplex links and a 32 channel 2-meter remote radio. The second radio, 447.220 Mhz., is a complete repeater that can be connected to the 449 radio. In addition there is an "open" 2-meter repeater on 145.18 Mhz. that also supports RACES in Santa Barbara County.
- The primary UHF radio is a G.E. MASTR II providing 60 watts to the antenna, the secondary UHF radio is a G.E. MASTR running 15 watts and the 2-meter radio is a G. E. Delta set to 30 watts.
- The entire 7 foot rack (2 sided) was rebuilt during the Spring of 1999. It was finally re-installed in June 1999. Pictures below show the rebuilt rack, new antenna and a few of the Rabbits responsible.

Using gravity to do the work, our fearless Rabbits get ready to 'shove off'
Good thing the building was lower than the parking lot |
