    SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
    Cleanup comms hub during AK.KOTZ removal

    UPON ARRIVAL:
    Comms box was functioning normally and in good shape but covered in debris underneath the stairs in the Borough garage.

    ACTIONS TAKEN:
    Removed station AK.KOTZ, secured the LMR-400 to the wall, mounted the comms box and power supply on the wall (with Noah Naylor permission), secured and labeled all cables with TA stickers with contact information. Verified comms still functioning locally and offsite (Doug Bloomquist).

    EQUIPMENT REMOVED:
    None

    EQUIPMENT INSTALLED:
    None

    COMMENTS:
    The comms box is now more likely to remain secure and is at less risk from damage from debris storage and flooding. A shorter power supply could be used to remove some cable clutter at the station.

    VISITOR:
    Jeremy Miner

    ON NEXT VISIT:
    Install a shorter power cable to reduce cable clutter. Could test OTZ wireless SIM card at E17K.
