    Just a brief follow up – to any Home Depot Store who also wants a 2m/440
    Ham Radio Antenna, like the Warrenton Oregon store #4023 – do the
    following ( on a store by store basis ) …
    1) ASSOCIATES (employees): Open My Apron, click on the link for
    “theINBOX” which is the message to Home Depot Corporate.
    2) Ask for a grant for the Emergency Antenna – please have a 401c3 group
    available to receive the grant. Make it attn: Dave Schacher KJ4BWO. They
    will process the application, and you should be hearing soon!
    3) Dave says any Home Depot Store who applies will be given prompt
    consideration. The grant will include antenna purchase, coax, lightning
    arrestor, mast, clamps and hardware as well as complete installation. There may be some funds remaining to purchase a radio for a “go-box” as
    well … thanks to Dave and Home Depot for making this possible!
