What else will we need for the test besides coax?  Is it already terminated
with the right connectors for ham radio equipment?  If it's just a test, we
can probably push the wire through the opening for the big fan, if none of
the existing holes in the shop are large enough.

I have an el cheapo magnetic whip antenna from my car I could bring in, and
I'm guessing we'll need someone to climb the big ladder to put whatever
antenna we use on the roof?
