- 82-foot dipole and 100-foot fan dipole antennas
- Hy-Gain Tri-Band 3-element directional beam antenna for 10, 15, and 20-meters

Currently the ICOM 7300 radios are used to train Estes Park school students and for club events.
Plans call for the UHF/VHF radios to be used for ARES weekly nets and ARES activation.
