IS HOLCOMB NOW A RADIO FREQUENCY ENGINEER?




HOLCOMB:

"...Let me get this straight. This is Nextel and they didn't know when they put this (antenna) on the side of the tower (water tank) it wasn't going to work, it needs to go on the top."

Unrelated to Nextel's request to reconfigure their cellular radio antennas on this water tank, is this picture of the Winslow Township Utilities Department base station antenna (highlighted in yellow).

According to Federal Communication Commission license information, the Utilities Department operates on a frequency of 155.145 MHz. Commonly referred to as hi-band. The antenna pictured is indeed a hi-band antenna as determined by a local expert, after viewing the antenna from across the street.

The local expert explained to UNofficially Winslow that Holcomb is incorrect in her statement referring to Nextel's installation. However, the antenna for the Winslow Utilities Department communications can't possible be working correctly. Perhaps this explains the possible duplicate expenduture with taxpayer dollars.
