Hi folks,
If you're thinking of spending anywhere near $1k, you might want to reach out to Wisco International and find out what kind of a price they will sell the club a StationMaster or Super StationMaster commercial antenna. Here's a link to their product: http://www.wiscointl.com/celwave/antennas/uhf/pd201/index.htm
I have been told that they sometimes offer discounts to Ham organizations, and the fact this is a University Ham organization may help even more.
You may also want to check with area commercial radio installation companies and see if they will donate an appropriate antenna that comes back from a customer during an upgrade or in response to a performance problem. StationMasters can be repaired and are close to indestructible. You may have to sign an agreement that you will never let the antenna get back into commercial service but that should not be a problem.
Here's one I just found. http://www.bandccomm.com/ They used to have an Akron presence, I don't know if they still do or not.
Just a thought. Obviously you will have to coordinate this through the W8UPD Club adviser and/or the University.

- UHF Repeater antenna - 2 Updates
Brandon Nilsson <nilss...@gmail.com>: Feb 05 08:33AM -0800
After reading many reviews and comments, I came to the conclusion that the
Comet GP-9 antenna is the best antenna for the buck to use as a repeater
antenna. 200$
Now if money want an option we could get the DP420 antenna but their models
run anywhere from 800$-1400$
Just an idea for the spring to optimize performance on the new DMR
repeater.

Where will the repeater antenna be located?
