The Proposed Project

Tobacco Plains Indian Band is proposing the installation of new radiocommunication antenna system on an existing tower 28 meters in height for public safety services, located on Tobacco Plains No. 2 Reserve.

An antenna consisting of one mounting mast with two circular dipoles (loops) attached, measuring 3.20 m in length and 1.01 m in width will be mounted to the existing tower at 28 meters above ground level and will operate in the VHF band between 148 MHz – 174 MHz.

This new antenna may be replaced or have other minor modifications in the future, as required for any Radiocommunication service.
