Installing a repeater station at elevation isn't just technical work — it's an expedition. Rob has flown in by helicopter, hauled equipment up snowfields, and climbed towers in sub-zero conditions to get communications infrastructure exactly where it's needed.
Each installation is engineered for the site — solar-powered where needed, built to survive BC winters, and positioned to maximize coverage across the valleys, inlets, and coastal communities below. Rob also owns and operates his own repeater station on Mount Julian (7,011 ft), and rents out frequency access to qualifying operators.

At 7,011 feet, Mount Julian is Rob's highest repeater installation — accessible only by helicopter. This is what it looks like from Google Earth.
Installing repeater stations at the top of BC mountains requires equal parts technical expertise and wilderness determination. These are a few moments from the work.
