There are two sets of antennas that were installed. The first pair were to replace the original ones that were severely damaged by ice falling off the cell tower. Then a couple months after that, the power divider that splits the signal between the two bays had water get into it.
This time instead of just replacing the power divider, we took the opportunity to put up circularly polarized Shively antennas that were donated to us from WCRF. I re-tuned them to our 91.1 frequency, as well as made my own phasing harness, which eliminated the power divider.
By the way, using circular polarization gives WVMC's signal in the Ashland area better coverage for our listeners at home (as opposed to our listeners in their cars) as well as gives our signal better penetration inside buildings.
OK, enough of the geek stuff, here are the photos:
