Repeaters near Richmond/Henrico VA

[misfitzx138]

I saw a mast antenna and yagi setup on a pole about 60ft. high and running to a small shed. It was located right behind El Caporal restaurant right across from regency square mall near Parham and Ridge. Rd.

Any idea if this is a local repeater and if so the freq - seems to be the closet to my house!

I can hit 146.880 just fine, but im just curious.

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any repeaters in that particular area. None of the local repeaters are using directional antennas either since they want to cover all directions and are generally taller than that. I'm not sure what it could be but will keep an eye out the next time I drive through there!

Looking at Bing Maps bird's eye view, I see what you're talking about. I believe if you look at the "shed" closely you'll find it may be a pumping or some other city facility; the yagi is for a telemetry transmitter.
